May be considered odd in the US &A but this was the standard French instrument many years ago. Hans used to play a Selmer ascending horn. I have an Alexander 102 in the ascending, compensating configuration and it's a fine horn. In 1975 the Holton company had a full ascending model horn in their exhibit at the IHS Workshop in Magog, Canada. It was a nice instrument and played very well. I heard many favorable comments from those who tried it out. Georges Barboteu was a featured artist and he was playing a Selmer. Some of you may recall that Francis Orval and Andre van Driessche also were playing this type of horn at workshops in Hartford and East Lansing in the later '70s. It really facilitates some of the figurations in French etudes, such as the Maxime Alphonse advanced books. Keep an open mind, young folks!
