I concur with your comments about the 2145's ability in orchestra. However, (sorry if this is picky) the horn seems like it would work in a wind ensemble fine also. The only time I worry is when there are more than 4 trombones and two euphoniums. This is when the tuba sound seems to get swallowed up. The only groups with more than this many low brass players aren't true wind ensembles, they are really symphonic bands. A real wind ensemble has one player to a part with a few exceptions and it creates a truly interesting blend when compared to a "band". In this situation the 2145 should do fine if not better than orchestra, because it doesn't have to get through the bass viol's. That is just my limited experience with the horn.
