I’m glad I’m not the only one who plays High concert G with an open fingering, using the F side of course. It’s always felt better and more in tune with

[@Cubing_Nerd]

Same!!

[@MarkTaylorMusic]

That's King Eroica, right? Very nice horn and a great design

[@Finetales]

Yep! I got it at the end of last year, replacing my 1971 Holton H178. The Eroica is so free-blowing, I love it!

[@MarkTaylorMusic]

@@Finetales The first Horn I owned was a Holton Farkas. Had a few different after that but played most of my career on a Paxman Model 40. Well, that and a few miscellaneous mellos here and there...

Are those …coins on your keys?

[@Finetales]

Yes, the horn came to me that way. Putting coins on the paddles is a fairly common thing in the horn world.

soldering cups, rings, coins, or some other circular textured surface to a key is really common! Houghton horns for example will sell you or your tech a set of rings you can solder to the keys
