| Actually, no, I wouldn't play them, given the option. I'd rather change to a mouthpiece that gave a me a similar (maybe better?) sound that didn't affect intonation and blended with the horns and woodwinds in a more characteristic way for, say, Brahms and Bruckner to start. Then I might have something with just a bit more punch for Beethoven. That's what we did for the Bruckner 9th CD we put out with Skrowacewski.
