Quite a lot is made of the weight of horns these days - lighter seems to be considered better. A Bb/A horn sans F extension seems very light in comparison to a full double, or a compensator and this lightness does give a certain confidence in the upper register. I have an F ext'n for mine and it is interesting to note the difference in 'feel' when this is added. Whether this affects its playability is a moot point.Tom
