Ricardo, you addressed the issue very well. May I recommend further, that players should use the F-side to a greater degree anyway & thus eliminate this faulty middle g (concert c, written g1). They should see a double horn rather as a 4-valve-horn, than a horn with a Bb-side & F-side. Such it is much better to have it in F/Bb instead of Bb/F.
