WRT trumpet vs clarinet, I believe he's correct. I also monitor the trombone groups, and it appears that brass instruments have a far harder time with braces than woodwinds do, mainly because their lips are doing the vibrating instead of a reed, and hitting the braces on every cycle. Lots of bloody mouths, etc, are the result until they get used to it.
