On one aspect of this, I think any assumptions following from Jack Brymer writing in the passive tense (LL) may not be merited.
I am on holiday, no access to my stuff, but I do remember that JB also tells us elsewhere in Clarinet of "two clarinettists" using identically set up 1010s who play perfectly in tune with each other, but are a semitone out ( I think) when using each other's clarinet. I believe it is common knowledge that the "two clarinettists" were himself and Roy Jowett, but while he goes on at some length to use the story for the illustration he wants, identities or personal pronouns are never allowed to slip in - "two clarinettists" remains sufficient and they could just as easily be in Australia as in LSO.
So the passive tense used in the vibrato story may not warrant the assumption.
it was a gentler age where the writer should avoid direct reference to self whenever possible. In fact I remember when I was studying English around the time jokes about the capital I being the first letter to wear out on a typewriter.
