David,

Eb Alto Horn fingerings are the same (most of them) as a Bb Trumpet. I
have 2 (1859 Bauer, 1880 Lyon & Healy) and I use different combinations
on certain notes. The second line "G" is one of the hardest notes for me
to get in tune. Sometimes I use 3, 13, open, to get it in tune. Also the
"A" just above it is also hard to get in tune.

Good Luck,

Bob Baccus
