I agree with Jeremy. Although I'm no great shakes as a horn player, my son
also told me the same thing - he couldn't stop the horn. I frankly forget
exactly what his reasons were - hand too big, perhaps, or perhaps something
else.
My son's hands and mine are almost exactly the same size, and I picked up
the same horn, and played the stopped passage perfectly the first time I
tried it. There is a technique to this.

I did the same thing after my son complained
he couldn't play a passage stopped. Not only
did I play it perfectly, but I was able to sneer
condescendingly afterwards, exhibiting perfect
technique.
By the way, Allergy is a piece by Faure. It wasn't
orginally written for horn.
Gotta go,
