Re: set up suggestions

You may be setting yourself up for problems unless the whole section is playing the the same type of instrument. Different bore sizes and types (French vs German, etc.) will cause tone color and intonation differences that will be hard to get around. In college it may be possible to have the whole section play R-13s, but in high school you'll have everything from dad's old Vito to new professional horns.

Make sure that they have a good setup and make them work on getting a nice supported, centered tone, but I'd hesitate to reqire the same setup for everyone.
