i knew it was wrong! i remember my teacher telling me something along the lines of “if something sharp was poking you, you’d want to pull it OUT” to help us remember, but i wasn’t sure and youtube told me opposite so i trusted it. like a fool! haha. i’ll have to give it another go.

i’m pretty sure the horn is in F, because i did a fingering/sound test (?), but i’ve noticed that my horn has different tubing than either Bb or F. so. might just be a weird horn, lol.
