Ricardo Matoshinos has made an interesting post on the IHS Forum 
(http://www.hornsociety.org/en/network/ihs-forum) about notation of horn 
fingerings using T to indicate Bb horn. He makes the following statement:

"Today most of the world play mostly in Bb-F horn instead of the traditional 
F-Bb so now in fact thumb means F horn..."

While I certainly agree that T notation is ambiguous and should, for that 
reason, be avoided in any kind of international context, I wonder if the above 
statement is true?

IHS members, feel free to comment directly in the thread on the forum :-)
