Steve asked:
>Anyone playing in a community band or otherwise and using a single F horn?<
Steve, we know you also have a single Bb, so do you play that in ensembles? I
also have a single Bb as well as an 8D. I use either one of them to play in
ensembles. Depending on the characteristics of the music, the ensemble, and
the horn section, I chose one or the other. Generally, the single Bb does just
fine with most ensembles.
Playing the single F horn, or playing more on the F side of a double is good
practice; I play up to 4th line D of the F side of my 8D because I like the
sound of that D on the F side of the 8D (as well as the C a second below). But
I also use the Bb side of the 8D throughout all ranges if I want clarity,
quicker response, and better projection.
