And that is the good thing in Europe ( Europe is still a mind-boggling quilt of relatively small local cultures, even within the different countries. Things normal in the south of Italy can be unheard of in central France, and you can rest assured that most statements made about "Europe" will be false for at least part of that continent.). I hope strongly we will not suffer the levelling misch-masch.

Some geographical and semantic nit-picking: The Eb variety of saxhorn is called a tenor horn in the UK only. Most of mainland Europe, exept for some hard-core brass-banders, will call a Bb tuba (i.e. euphonium, baritone) a tenor horn. The Eb variety is called alto just like in the US.
