Dear Richard and All:
I too have heard a Mozart horn concerto played on a natural horn, with
accidentals sometimes played with a hand inserted partway into the bell. I
found it a little unsatisfying. Most of the notes were in tune, but some
were a bit muffled. The audience was marveling at

David,
I agree with both your notes on this thread. The old composers were
