Re: Slurring low E flat to B

A little explanation on what I wrote before. I was not refering to English Horns (EH) / Cor Anglais (CA), I was ,instead, refering to oboes; and only oboes in which the low B and Eb are not link (meaning that do not take "advantage" of the butterfly effect, that is the same key press down one side is B, press down the other side is Eb). The student oboes use this advantage (is more economical) but in the professional oboes the two (notes/keys) are independent.
Probably in the cases of EH/CA there is not an easy solution, since most of them go only as far as low B, and therefore (as the first oboes that went only down to low B) take advantage of the 'buttefly'. I am sure that it would not be a problem with a Prestini model EH/CA.
Regards.
