| I have both an Olds Recording and an Olds Super. The Super is a easier to play and mine does have a brighter sound. But it's a ball to play. I had it before I acquired the Recording, and it took me some time to get used to the Recording. The Recording can be played in a symphony. I played one in a symphony for 6 years before I switched to a Bach Strad. The principal in that symphony also played an Olds Recording. When I was in college, we were visited by a group of musicians from the LSO, one of which was their principal trumpet player at the time. This was about 1963 or 64. I can't remember who he was now, but he also played an Olds Recording in the LSO. I remember he told me that he had tried a Bach for a while, but nearly lost his job, while trying to learn to play it in tune. He wasn't used to having to play with 5 fingers, three on the right hand and two on the left.
So a Recording can definitely be played in a symphony. I can't think of too many musical circumstances in which you couldn't play a Recording.
