Christopher, What is the story on the Albert system? OK this I have figured out.

1. It is an older system, 2. It had difficult fingerings 3. It is little used
today.
What I would like to know 1. What was the sound like? 2. Was the tone different
than todays horns? 3. Was it in tune more or less of the time. 4. Is it still
used anywhere?
