It seems to me that all this discussion of horn tone misses the mark. The reason I am drawn to the playing of Brain, Damm, Baumann, the Czechs, Tuckwell, and other greats is not because of "horn tone". In fact, each of these players has a distinctly different concept of "horn tone", so much so that it's hard to believe they play the same instrument. (You know what I mean, Cabbage!) What draws me to them is their music making. What they "say" when they play. So let's stop quibbling over tone and begin quibbling over music.
