In support of Antero's position, I am going to reveal something which I
have not revealed before, and which is quite unusual. Several years ago I
made a recording on my Wolf bassoon. When it came time to assemble all
the pieces for production, it turned out that four bars had to be
re-recorded. My Wolf was at the factory for an adjustment, so I recorded
those four bars on my Heckel. No-one has noticed any difference.
