In the same vein and with the same warning, I can add to the
intrigue. Louis Stout related to me how Mr. Tuckwell used to preach
that you
don't need a descant horn. After listening to a recording of Barry's,
possibly the Zelenka to which Lawrence refers, but I don't remember
for sure
now, Louis had is suspicions. The next time he saw Barry in person,
he asked
him privately, with a knowing chuckle, if he had played a "cheater"
horn in
that recording. Barry admitted that he had.

I heard a story about the recording of the Zelenka -
WARNING: I have absolutely no evidence to support or substantiate
thIs story
and I offer it as an amusing anecdote which may or may not be as
true as any
other amusing anecdote doing the rounds. I cannot even remember who
told me
this.
Anyway, the story was that Mr. Tuckwell took the high horn on
approval from
Paxmans with a view to buying it, recorded the Zelenka, possibly the
only
piece in the world for which he might need such an instrument, then
took it
back.
Maybe someone from Paxmans or anyone closer to the events could
substantiate
or repudiate this?
Cheers,
Lawrence
