Fabulous musician Andrew Duncan would be playing on the disc.
Andy joined the Halle in 1984 (until 2000). I think in his early career he played a Miraphone C but it could have been his B&H Eb which he makes a huge sound on.

After leaving the Halle Andy took a break from playing but has recently been appointed full time tubist with BBC Scottish SO.
