Re: Brandenburg Concerto no 2

Ed,

I suppose that this should be the vavle version of corno do caccia...My trumpet teacher had one and I played it few times. Nice instrument in B flat (the same guy used to say that this is french horn shaped flugelhorn, but it had a 4th rotary valve for 4th down. Sometimes is called mellophone, right? or is it different?...the true corno do caccia is a natural french horn, isn't it? And these thrills sounds very much "valved" to me...
