Jonathan. Not just for "for purposes of improved tuning or special effects", but to correct intonation (in case you play together with Bb-instruments for certain chords, you must stay on the Bb-side), to ease fingerings, to get an easier forte attack in the low (using Bb-fingerings), to smooth a le

Dear Hornlisters: Since I don't teach many beginners I can only go from my own experience. I played school horns--a single F in 6th and 7th grades and then a Conn 6D in 8th grade (only using F fingerings!) and at that point was playing from Pottag-Hovey Book 2 and Mozart 3rd Concerto. I did
