 Absolutely. And a hearty "I'll second that!"

 The *only* thing to quibble about in what James has said is the term "false
 positions."   In many cases, those positions ("alternate" as some call
them)
 are, in fact, the *correct* positions, improving intonation and general
 facility  on the ole sliphorn...as well as laying better for slide vibrato.
