Hans and other authoritis, As a new comer on the french horn and a coach to my grand son I have some silly questions.
One of my friends in the brass band where I play my cornet, advocates that the standard fingering for both the Bb side and the F side is not the best choice. I have realised that he is not at at all correct in this statement, but it is is next to impossible to argue with this man. I may add that he is no originally french horn player, but a good bone and tuba player. I have also come to understand that the standard fingering is not always that is a law, but nevertheless I believe my friend the bone player does not really know what he is talking about. I may add, that my friend has some funny ideas, that a good horn does not need any fine tuning on the various slides, which of course are far too many compared to a trumpet or cornet. I beg you to accept my English as an excuse for not delivering the proper questions. My grand son has a good teacher, so I rely of course on his advice, but I can nat resist to setting my brass friend right on his very different opinion. Perhaps best to ignore his opinion all together.
