Fine discussion, Terry, Wes, et al, yes, the addition of [as many as possible] of the [soprano] "Full Boehm" features [3 of the 4], as on our Selmer 33's , does simplify some fingerings. I frequently use the "low Eb" to produce the mid-staff Bb, its tonal character is very similar to the other lower clarion notes. IMHO. Re: the Mazzeo improvements [?], my only experience is with the Bundy model [I presume you know of his 4-5 patents, and Brymer's discussion of pros/cons] , I dont greatly like his [Selmer's] use of the left L F ring. It is carried further by McIntyre, complex fingering CHANGES required !These and other ?good? "systems" have been tried, but lost out in the marketplace, conclusion, we love simplicity, low cost , and resist change ! This is my 'nuff for now. Don
Thanx, Mark, Don
