(sorry about that...)
1/ How important is it to you to have a very in-tune very low E without 4th slide manipulation?
Once a year, outside the practice room...
2/ How important is it to you to have an in-tune/non-false-tone low Eb?
Once per concert, but usually only because I'm taking something down an octave, and have plenty of time for a slight tug on the first valve slide.
3/ How important is it to you to have a playable non-false-tone very low C and B natural?
HA HA HA HA HA! You sure are a funny fellow, Joe.
