Actually, I play in a brass band in Bromley, Kent, UK and I'm a French 
Horn player.  It's a Youth Music Centre and no-one in the borough is 
taught the Eb tenor horn, so since French Horn players can easily 
transpose from F into Eb, we play the horn parts.  I don't see why this 
should be too much of a problem, or why French Horn players shouldn't 
cover horn parts.
