Why playing it on the bb horn if you have it perfect on the f side ???? Use your double as a 4-valve- or 5-valve-horn (stop valve included) ??
Very simple solution. Some Bb horns have the middle g as real "wolf-note", even to be heard clearly from (stubborn) widely known soloists, females included, CDs included. ######################################################### Am 05.05.2011 um 20:29 schrieb SH: > I think what I mainly wanted to know is if the change in sound gets any > better the more you play the g on the b horn?
