If you're asking what an alto horn's good for, check a few lines down the list of postings here to the one titled "Where do alto horns come from?" For what it's worth, be very careful when selecting an alto horn--there are some good ones and a LOT of very bad ones. For reasons that escape me, it seems that an American alto horn with intonation problems seems to be the rule rather than the exception.
