also, 2 of the 3 trumpets and 3 of the 5 horns are listed as "acting" musicians. whats going on out there?
Scale is the minimum amount a player will be paid. Principal players in major orchestras don't work for scale, even if there is one printed.
The acting players, I suspect, are untenured. Orchestras have different rules, it depends on the master contract.
