Yeah, kind of what I thought .... I can in fact alternate players without too much trouble.

Thanks,

Thanks for  your wisdom in advance ...

Possible but on the edge at that tempo. The Mendelssohn ("Midsummer Night's Dream" scherzo, "Donna Diana" overture) are a bit slower. If there are a LOT of them you might want to alternate players. Range shouldn't matter.
