i recommend you play your 5er and take it as an exercise :-)
An exercise it is. We have 3 rehearsals for this, Monday, Thursday and Friday. I have been practising with the 5er but all the recordings I watched, everything was up an octave. I took home my Hart (with C-ext) last night so I will have today to practice it either way on the octave. After Monday, I will know which way to go. At best, we can do 2 down and one up by the instruments they own.

Thanks for posting.
