An F is not possible on my horn without the holes. IMHO It has to be bent too out of center when the holes are covered to make a decent sound. I am wondering what natural trumpets make this possible.
Modern horns are soldered but the originals used pitch to hold them together. I imagine that a horn using pitch would leak enough to be able to bend the F's and F#'s in tune.
Bahb Civiletti won this contest in 2004. What horn does he use? I wonder if they had the "no holes" part of the contest then?
