Re: Posthorn solo from Mahler Symphony No.3 (axe choice)

Charlie Schleuter did a demo at Dillon's where he said he played the solo on Flumpet, but on the recording, he used his old Cuesnon because Ozawa insisted on it, as did the engineer. In Carnegie, he went offstage holding the Cuesnon, but once offstage, picked up the Flumpet. From where I was sitting, (Tier) it sounded pretty damn near to heaven.
