Alternate Fingering Suggestions
A and D on the B♭ side tend to be sharp, especially in the higher octaves. One suggestion is to play these notes with the third valve (and trigger). Also, for the A above the staff (the horn A, otherwise known as concert D), a way to flatten it is to play it with just the thumb. However, all instruments are different, so this has to be checked against a tuner.
If one is unable to play the fundamental of the horn (the concert F that is an octave below the bass clef) with the traditional fingering of 0, then it can sometimes be played T13.

Famous quotes containing the words alternate, fingering and/or suggestions:
“In museums and palaces we are alternate radicals and conservatives.”
—Henry James (1843–1816)
“I want relations which are not purely personal, based on purely personal qualities; but relations based upon some unanimous accord in truth or belief, and a harmony of purpose, rather than of personality. I am weary of personality.... Let us be easy and impersonal, not forever fingering over our own souls, and the souls of our acquaintances, but trying to create a new life, a new common life, a new complete tree of life from the roots that are within us.”
—D.H. (David Herbert)
“Every young man is prone to be misled by the suggestions of his own ill-founded ambition which he mistakes for the promptings of a secret genius, and thence dreams of unrivaled greatness.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
