Great and plausible alto cl stories, much truth in their conclusions. Being very happy with my older Selmer-Paris Bass [to Eb] AFTER the leaks were found and cured, I investigated some 5-6 altos [still own 2] and came to the conclusion that the smaller bore Selmer-Paris was the best of the lot, tonality and playable-wise, with an old Pedler [with Dbl Reg Keying !!] being nearly as good. After curing leaks, then much practice and accommodation to the diffs. from sop and bass is needed to play satisfactorily. Now having a good bass cl'ist in comm band, to play "my" parts, I'm looking forward to improving my alto skills, hoping for a happy "re-marriage" , being able to repeat previous enjoyable experience in cl choir, playing transposed viola etc parts. Work at it !! Don
Thanx, Mark, Don
