BUZZZZZ!
Wrong answer, but thank you for playing. Ansel Adams excelled in the
realm
of "shades of grey." He was not monochromatic but used the varying tones
in
both black and white.

This entire discussion is getting pretty boring.
The goal of any artist musician is to convey emotional images in sound.
To convey a message to the listener.
To effectively accomplish this one has to know much about the musical
intentions of the composer and then do their best to bring these
intentions to life
in an effective way.
This requires that the performer use all aspects of the sound--dynamics,
weight, intensity and color
in a flexible and imaginative way.
In other words, the performer needs to be flexible enough to be able to
change their sound to create an effective rendering of what is being
performed.
And so must the instrument be sonically flexible enough to aid the
performer
in accomplishing this.
Would you enjoy looking at an artists paintings who only used one color
of
paint?
Artist performers choose instruments that help enable them to be flexible
and
fulfill these goals, not just because the instrument has a certain built
in
"sound."
The concept that artists choose a horn because it has a certain sound,
and
that the brand is more important than the creativity and imagination of
the
performer, is patently sophomoric and totally misses the point of musical
interpretation and performance.
