Ah but, it isn't really shorter, Sam.  F is 1st pos in F and 2nd pos in Gb,
so the total tube length is the same in either case.  I'm guessing my Gb
slide sounds freer because it doesn't have so many tight air-restricting
turns as does the F.  Altho' I still love to play my old horn and have no
pressing plans to upgrade it, the path of the F slide doesn't win any design
awards on the TR181.
