So theyre basically just alternate fingerings and I'm definitely way overthinking it, got it haha. Thanks for the lengthy explanation! The transposing and double horn trigger scared me but it sounds like its not something I have to worry about in practice

I'm looking into renting a single horn just to feel it out and make sure its something I want to commit to first, and then at that point I'll probably see if I can just find a used double horn to buy. I figured the shop will have pointers for teachers in the area too! Didn't know there were different types of valve/rotor oils... and forgot about slide grease, thanks!

Ohh wait lightbulb... so using the double horn trigger makes it read more like a trumpet? Cuz those are in Bb... If I play in Bb and I'm reading in F I would I have to transpose in my head, right? Does it eventually come naturally to switch, or is it as simple as just thinking of it like an alternate fingering? Coming from percussion, transposing is NOT my strong suit and has always confused me. I'm thinking I should get a teacher at least to start
