Hi,
I believe that the answer depends on major two factors:one is tone quality and the other is the ease of playing on the other sides of the horn , the Bb and F.As far as tone quality goes , I like the high Eb better.I think that the tone color is pretty similar to Bb. As for ease of production - it depends on the way you would like to use the instrument - some play the Eb horn from middle space C. some are determined to pool the Eb trigger only after top space G . it also depends what are you going to play with this instrument . only orchestral ? chamber music? solo ? At the near past , triple horn could have been seen only in as orchestra , preferably a big one . times have changed - E . schmid , R . kuehn are only two of several horn manufacturers who try to "upgrade " the triple horn to an all purpose horn . I will not be amazed if , in the near future , an interchangeable Hi F - Hi Eb triple horn will appear.As a matter a fact , at least two manufacturers are working on this Idea now .
