I just bought the latest design MB case...the one that looks like an
overgrown bowling bag. Sorry that I don't remember the model number.
It fits my XL Paxman triple perfectly. The Yamaha is smaller, so should
go in quite easily, although the one potential issue is the set of
slides in the back w
set forth some of the reasoning
they've used designing descants and triples, so their potential
customers can develop correct expectations.

Howdy all,
I've been playing on a Yamaha 667 for over 15 years (let's pretend I started at
5). My brillant horn instructor at the time thought I wasn't a big enough
player to handle anything else. Needless to say, he was my least favorite...
Anyway, the 667 has some interesting characteristics

This reminds me of another question I had about the triple horn - sorry to
flood the list.
Would people play delicate music (e.g. brandenburg) on a triple horn, or
is it better to play on a descant?
My understanding had always been that triples were meant for security, so

I have recently decided to purchase a triple horn and would like to
ask
the list what are the decided advantages of either the F alto as
opposed to the Eb alto.
I have a Paxman 40L descant which had an extender made for the hi-F

I also own a Paxman and a Schmid triple. My Schmid is a F alto horn (as
is the Paxman)
. without a doubt the F alto side on the Schmid is usable further down
into the range then is the same sie on the Paxman. I think this is a
design difference not an Eb alto vs. Falto difference.
I gather that the big advantage of F over Eb is that you don't have to
learn the transposed Eb fingering playing F music.

I'm sort of fascinated how one can decide to spend such major money on
an instrument without a clear idea of what their expectations might be.
Your question implies resources available that make price no object.
For some reason, most horns you'll encounter in the US that have an F

howdy-
I'd like to share a little about the Geyer/Kruspe thing from my own
experience. I have always played an 8D, and for most of my serious
playing years much preferred the large-throat/bell Kruspe wrap playing
feel and sound. I am sort-of in the market for a new horn though, and
the last year
I have both. Both are great horns. I chose the high Eb on my E. Schmid
because I simply preferred the tone over the same horn w/ high F,
perhaps due to the longer leadpipe. My Paxman has a high F and also
works great. I can play lower on the high Eb than I can on the high F.
but I think that is
