"mute" it down. It is not as edgy

Thank you very much, Hans, for your response & explanations. This will be
very helpful to me. In the few minutes I had with one of the horns at
Dillons, I did try fingering it 12 & found it a bit clearer.

How should I know? I'm only an amateur! ;o)
< Why you amateurs, why are you going for the extreme so often?>
Until now, I didn't know that stopped horn on middle C was considered
"extreme." Gimme a break, buddy! On my Holton 179 I can easily play
stopped horn with my brass mute all the way down to an F. Now I'm hearing
for the first time that this is on the extreme end. Who knew? :o)
Please tell me, Hans, what else is considered "extreme" for an amateur.
