You might be fixed too much to the F or Bb tonalities, thus the difficulties
with
the natural horn. Make yourself independent from the instrument given tonalities
and better get the feeling for the several steps in the nature given possible
notes on every horn (theoretically, but impossible in the range up from
no.12 or so partial on the very short horns ).
Just to avoid the described nasty surprise.
I think you misunderstand me, Hans.
If I pick up the horn with an F-crook and try to play something for which I
normally use an E-flat crook, I am liable to mispitch for the first bar or two;
after that I start thinking in terms of intervals. The same is true in the
inverse...
This implies that it's not down to unfamiliarity with the different crooks -
and if anything I'm less familiar with the F-crook on the natural horn than the
E-flat - but due to the discrepancy between the pitch that sounds, and the
pitch I initially expected to sound.
I agree it can be difficult to get used to some of the shorter or longer crooks
though.
