I'm confused (as usual). Is there an audition for music critic being held?

It is my understanding that the Cleveland horns were required to play Conn 8D's or even King Eroica's at one time or another. I had not heard about the trombones. Can you imagine that Ed Anderson ever played a King Duo Gravis in the orchestra during the Szell era? Not me.

Locally, two professional orchestras perform. They are both good. When one goes out on a limb, it is imaginative and innovative. When the other does, it is a faux pas, a stumble, or buffoonery. The first one always (yes, always) receives completely glowing reports on execution whereas the other one nearly always gets picked apart.

I am convinced that 90% of the problems with rhythm, tone, intonation, articulation, technique, and overall prowess on the horn are related to air issues.
