Re: Cor Anglais advice

Cors are generally weak up top, some more than others. The only way to tell is to try as many out as possible - not always easy as there aren't many places that stock a large range of cors.

The S20 is a basic thumbplate system cor, though the S20c is dual system and has a LH F key and articulated C# (which is closed with the low B key).

Is the Kreul thumbplate or dual system (conservatoire with added thumbplate)?
