Always fascinating when testing other horns. Many years of habits show up when you don't think about it, like all the compensations we make for pitch.
Alternate fingerings I learned over 40 years ago on my R13 often don't translate to other horns. I have to put my Buffet R13 hat on, or pull that one off and toss on the Selmer Series 10 hat... Such is life!
I won't mention the newer addition to my clarinet family that drove me totally bonkers for a couple weeks while I had to learn how NOT to compensate all that much!
