Huh????  Either I don't understand the intended humor, or that's a slightly
naive question.  Are you suggesting that orchestral clarinetists don't have
both A and Bb clarinets?  Or that violists try to play their parts on
violins?  Or ... or what?  That wind players are no longer using 1-keyed
flutes or natural trumpets in F (except in period orchestras)?

But you're right about concert/transposed being a religious debate.  Like
Mac/Windoze.
