Well Walt, As one that has always struggled with stopped horn due to a very small hand, I have found a few notes that are much better 1/2 step up on the Bb horn. Forth line d works very well.

It works! Do it correctly and be in tune. In no way did I call you a smartass either.

Really? When playing a double, I use both sides. Trigger+1st gives a great stopped "A" above the staff. Just right for the end of Copland's "Rodeo." Can't miss. Also, need I mention which of reached up on the shelf and opened the can labeled, "Smat*ss?" ...and which of us is getting prickly? You're likely much more clever than you're writing, so let's place that can back on the shelf. I asked who made the mute, and I got an answer from someone who actually contributed.
