Nancy said, "If you don't use those keys, they will always be
confusing."

Wayne added... "I agree. [etc etc].

Good point - if most (if not all) of your instruments have the key. Only
two of mine do. Should I have the other five altered on a whim? I'm not
suggesting that Nancy, Wayne or anyone else are wrong but I have to know
that the work is worth doing to justify having it done. A bit of a
chicken and egg situation I suppose.....

If I played the bass and basset horn more then I suppose it would be
easier, but I don't....
