"A great player sounds great on any horn, but he will sound better on a great horn."
Probably true, even if different great players have tended to pronounce different horns as great.
"A mediocre player will sound mediocre on any horn, but he will sound better on a great horn."
I am no so sure about that. Actually some mediocre players get more out of a lightweight student instrument, than of a heavyweight, large bore, pro-type instrument.
