Subj: [kl] Question about middle Bb (or: I think I'm in love)

Michele,

Another "alternate" fingering for the Bb is one that Howard Klug showed
me: use the standard fingering, add both ring fingers, and use the little
finger on the F/C key. On my horns, this helps quite a bit, though it's
not the only variant I use.

Do some experimenting of your own; you may find something of your own that
you really like. And don't neglect the good advice (from Bill Hausmann?)
about having a repair tech look at the instrument. There may be something
to gain by doing so ...

Lots o' luck with your new horn!

Anna
