Yes, Rosetti no.5 is some challenge, as it is in E. Using a lot of
F-side might help much, as all arpeggios go on 2, and the valve 2 is the
most engaged there. Using the Bb-side (2nd valve switches it to A-horn)
for some top notes or when fingering might be easier even in the low
range, a great

That's an interesting list of your normally used horns. I notice there

I don't quite follow how mechanically it could be. When strings are used the
force is always in the same direction. For mini-balls how could the force be
as equally dispersed?

My strings have never broken before in my life. If you take care to maintain
your strings and watch them AND replace them as needed they will never break.

Oh yes, and if you always have a prepared section of string and a small
screwdriver in your case (I do all the time) you can fix the problem in a few
seconds.

Fascinating... I'd love to test that out. Right now I just use a spool of
dacron (I have a good 100 meters left). So far I could replace the strings every
week and have enough for two years. I wouldn't mind trying a spool of
Polypropelene but so far my Dacron spool has about 40 years of string
Come to think of it I have a 100yd. spool of 80lb test strength spectrum
fishing line. It is way too thin though but doubling up might do the trick as
well... You know my only beef with the stuff is you need a really sharp knife to
cut it.
