Are you seriously getting paid as much as all the fiddlers, and not on a per-service basis? In a recent concert with Bruckner and Mozart, some of the rehearsals were just Mozart... the Bruckner got as much rehearsing as it would have, and the Symphony probably saved about $15 - $50,000. The string instrumentation in the Mozart was odd... about 15 violins, 5 or 6 cellos, 2 or 3 double basses... 10 violas(???). I'm too lazy to do the math, but the symphony board must've saved a bundle by not having to pay 2/3rds of the violins for 2 rehearsals.

'course, if you're salaried then that's a different story!
