I studied with Mr. Novotny during that era and later in his career he was using Meinl Westons a fair amount. I saw him do Petrouschka and both horns were Meinls. He is a fine player and a very good teacher for orchestral literature - I don;t believe that he ever really bought into the idea that the tuba could be a solo instrument.
