I ask because I have been playing a 4 in front horn for about 6 months, and I’ve gotten used to using my right pinky for 4, but just recently a dormant case of repetitive stress injury in my right hand has re-emerged.
So I got wondering whether it might work if I switched off between my front valves and a horn with top valves, and then realized that I’d be relearning 4th valve fingerings, just as I’ve begun to develop some facility playing right pinky 4. Then I realized
Is there some mechanical reason why a top 4 compensating horn couldn’t work? Could an older horn be adapted?
I can’t seem to find references to this question anywhere. Have I missed them somewhere?
