We understand that changes have been made in the distribution of the instruments especially the wind instruments, hitherto a chronic weakness of the body, which are of the greatest importance to the unity and vitality of the whole. It is amicably settled that a number of the older members retire from the actual occupancy of certain instruments and give place to fresher and more accomplished artists…. Messrs. Hamann (a new member and an excellent player) and the younger Fries, the horns; Messrs. Dorn and Endres being still available for supplementary horns.
