I have both. Both are great horns. I chose the high Eb on my E. Schmid because I simply preferred the tone over the same horn w/ high F, perhaps due to the longer leadpipe. My Paxman has a high F and also works great. I can play lower on the high Eb than I can on the high F. but I think that is simply a specific attribute of the particular horn. The Paxman has a MUCH better Bb side. The fingerings for Eb are not difficult at all, as one can use Bb fingerings on the Eb side except top line horn F sharp and top space G, which need to be 2and3 and 1and2 respectively (at least on my horn). -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Nelson R.

I have recently decided to purchase a triple horn and would like to ask the list what are the decided advantages of either the F alto as opposed to the Eb alto. Thanks, Nelson R.
