nowherenearadouble is an unknown quantity at this point
When I try a horn for the first time I play 2 tunes. First one is the trumpet solo from Summon the Heroes. That is one piece that tells alot about the horn in your hands. Next I play Misty, much for the same reason as was said about the middle G in a previous post. Of course I also have people listening in the hall (at different places in the hall).
Ultimately it needs to be played during a performance though, that is what some people forget! How many times do you here "Tried this horn. Man you should here it up top! Cant play it in a section though!"
Could be interesting to here how everyone else does it.
