Try the ORIGINAL design of the B&S F, with the 5 different bore sizes (instead of 3) in the valve section and the normal (rather than oversized) mouthpipe taper - 5 or 6 valves.

Test it with something like a Miraphone C4 (modern equivalent or copy) and nothing larger than a Marcinkiewicz N4.

As long as you stick to your definition of "complement" rather than "feel like", I recommend this set-up.

If you like it, check the intonation of Db in the staff...fine on some - troublesome on others.
