Hr Zechmeister is the bes person to answer. But I can do a part. After using Besson Es for 15 years, I changed to Musica F 2 years ago. No problem for "new" fingering. Left hand is main like Horn. (I feel like changed from Brass band to Symphony orchestra.) As pointed out, high and middle register are wonderful since bright tone. I can make very intensive sound like Bruckner expression (?). (If you like dark tone, you may not be happy with this.) Low register is ok now, after right training. Many informations are in Zechmeister Etude, published in 1998 from Doblinger, Vienna for embouchure training. Intonation is marverous, not like German F tuba.
