>> 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).
I have found myself playing more and more on the F-side, partly because of the sound and partly because it seems to give me better endurance. For example, if I have to hold a high-G for several bars I'll use the B-flat side to pitch it then change fingerings when I next have to breathe. Having said that, a fair proportion of my wrong notes are due to forgetting which side of the horn I'm using. But getting better. Kit -- Sometimes my Email program gives the wrong return address.
