Actually, not to diverge TOO much, an interesting use for altos:
In one group I played in, I used an alto to play french horn parts - the
transposition from F to Eb is the same as from C to Bb, so if you're used
to sight reading "C" parts, it's pretty easy (and the horn parts weren't
usually that tough, anyway!)!
