*raises hand*
Ooh! Ooh! I can play down to low Ab in bass clef! *jumps up and down*
I've gotten down to F before, but rather airy and quiet, I haven't quite got that embourchure down yet. Anyways... a little philosophising here... if we, as composers, take it upon ourselves to continually write for very low horn parts, such as those mentioned in the Shoshty 5, wouldn't it make sense that hornists would tend to try harder to learn to better play these low notes in effort to perform these newer works requiring them? That's how I like to look at things. Nobody will ever learn if we don't ever require them to.
