Just for your interest, I also play the same combination of instruments
(not manufacturers, though - I have a Paxman double, a Sovereign euph,
and a Webb-Halstead natural horn). I do have a yamaha trumpet, but don't
really play it much; just a very occasional stand-in.

Our bandmaster doesn't like horns as a matter of principle; if I split a
note on the euph he tells me to stop playing the horn. I think he's
serious.

I did once have a mental abberation, and took my horn with me to band
practice rather than the euph. I think I gained a certain amount of
reluctant respect by playing the euph part on the horn all evening.
I never let on that the pitching's the same on the two instruments :-)
