I played in a 'Make Believe' type of quintet where I played wuphonium and alto horn. Being a tubist primarily, it was fun playing a different part for a change. In my usual quintet, we have done the 'all conical' thing where trumpet players played cornets, or fluegels, the horn player played Wagner tuba, trombon eplayer played euph and I use my darkest tuba. It was intereting for an effect. but as soon as we went back to our normal instruments, it felt more like 'home base,' and we played MUCH better.
