The sound is much lighter, but one cannot (really) practise on these horns, as one will try to produce a big (as usual) sound. This will eat up the lip, if one is not most careful & plays as light as possible. This has also the advantage to produce a fine shiny silvery tone quality - requires a deep mouthpiece & a reasonable big bore (I use 5 mms).

Thank you for the tips guy. I know that some horn players have both, the descant and the triple horn (like Philip Myers, for instance). What's the advantage of the descant over the triple? It's just the weight? 2007/5/24, hans <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > > Just remove the Bb-slides & the extension or full slides for the > regular F-side.
