The corno da caccia is not a corno or designed for da caccia, unless trumpet players are "hunting" for horn gigs.

I generally do not like this instrument for baroque things because very seldom does a trumpet player put a horn players hat on. The baroque parts were written to be played the way horns are played (you know with clams and train wrecks), most trumpet players just don't get it. The horn parts need to sound "high". The cdc makes it too easy and does not have that blending timbre of a real horn. Music is much more than being able to play the notes! Nope, not for me.
