Can I get some input on how these horns hold up in large ensembles, possibly a small to medium sized Wind Ensemble and then a large setting, such as orchestra? (separate opinions).  I've heard that sometimes it can get pretty tough to get a large sound on them.  (brightness is no good) If so, what about the 5/4 models?  Would they fit into something smaller, or even solo work, and how are they overall?  One more: can they really be that different from horn to horn as I hear?  It sounds like half are horrible and half are great.  
(sorry so many questions)
