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:
“It might become a wheel spoked red and white
In alternate stripes converging at a point
Of flame on the line, with a second wheel below,
Just rising, accompanying, arranged to cross,
Through weltering illuminations, humps
Of billows, downward, toward the drift-fire shore.”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
“Pale flakes with fingering stealth come feeling for our faces—
We cringe in holes, back on forgotten dreams, and stare, snow-dazed,
Deep into grassier ditches.”
—Wilfred Owen (1893–1918)
“To retire to the monastery, or the woods, or the sea, is to escape from the sharp suggestions that spur on ambition.”
—Charles Horton Cooley (1864–1929)
