Hi, Steve - the "old warhorse" is back for discussion.
While I do believe it is possible to get the concert EEb on open
fingering, it is not a true note in that harmonic range of the
instrument, and usually sounds unfocused and un tuneful. The concert EEb
generally does not pose a problem in terms of stuffiness, (being on 1+4
comp. and 1,2+4 non comp.) Where the problems start, is where the player
(on a compensating horn) uses a combination of 3+4, thereby bringing the
nasty bit of tubing on the back of the third valve into the equation.
That is when the stuffiness sets in.
What do you reckon?
Cheers,
Adrian J. Raven
