And the audition piece for SFO back then was the Vaughn Williams. That was it, Floyd didn't need his Holton til he got onstage. But that was also almost 3 decades ago!

Depending on the situation and the orchestra, you are fortunate to have two different-scope CC horns that are more specialized to those differences. Depending on where the young person planning future auditions is at in their development, my feeling is they should NEVER be counseled to purchase additional, more specialized instruments before what they have now is limiting their playing ability. Equipment is a severe distraction when it limits you, why do we encourage the distraction before limitations arise?
