I have a PT-15 F, and 3/4 Alexander CC and a PT-6. This covers darn near everything. I would like a smaller F for things like Bydlo. In fact I think I could get by without an F most likely, however, the current three horns covers about 99.9% of everything. 3/4 alex CC for quintet work, PT-6 for large ensembles, F for small orchestral stuff (berlioz as an example)
I had the 3/4 Alex first, nice all around horn overall, and at the time I bought it I was doing main quintet. Then the PT-6 then the F. I would do this all over exactly the same, the F would be the last, I like a small and a large CC as the first "2" horns, but that is just preference.
