I'm honestly on the fence about it. The reason? Because I'm sure people said the exact same thing when valves were invented, when the automobile was invented, etc.
I mean if you think about it, why use a cell phone if you can just walk up to a phone if you need to call someone? We have cars, but we still know how to walk. We have valves, but good horn players still know how to play on the natural horn and how to use the right hand. -William -----Original Message----- From: Richard V.

Just transpose, already! It's good for the brain, your self confidence, and self esteem. Besides, what about all those times some unenlightened composer (and you know who they are) writes a stop note in the middle of a sequence of open notes? You use the hand....and as far as I know, nobody is marketing a non-transposing hand. Richard in Seattle On 5/12/2010 10:50 AM, [email protected] wrote: > True.
