Re: Excellent Method Book
You're just playing them as concert pitch for simplicity's sake, I'd assume?

Re: Excellent Method Book
"as concert pitch" meaning, the written C sounds as a concert C rather than F. Playing at written pitch would be playing it as a sounding F.
I was trying to ask if you were using the trumpet fingering on F, and add 3 flats/BBb fingerings on CC. Simple question, no insult intended, Wade.

Re: Excellent Method Book
If I read Wade's post correctly, he is basically using trumpet fingerings with both horns, disregarding the fact that it comes out in C on one horn and in F on the other.eupher61 wrote:"as concert pitch" meaning, the written C sounds as a concert C rather than F.

EDIT: And of course, as I was typing this, Wade chimes in and clears things up himself.
