Rory and all, I'm an elementary instrumental music teacher in PA. I've considered buying single Bb horns. I know of no one else who uses them, but I see obvious advantages and realities; 1. Two less open notes between C and C!!! 2. A little fuller sound 3. Lighter!!! 4. I know that the best fingerings for the double horn are not all on the Bb side. The reality is that every kid who starts on a single F horn has to relearn some fingerings. If he/she starts on a Bb, it comes out even, right?
I'd be curious to know what any of you do at the beginner level. Mark J. Syslo _______________________________________________ post: horn@music.memphis.edu unsubscribe or set options at http://music.memphis.edu/mailman/options/horn/archive%40jab.org
