 I think that it's a pretty safe bet that JE played any horns
(trumpet,French horn) found on Tommy.For one thing,why would they hire a
horn player when they already had one (for free!) within the band?
 Also remember that the band couldn't afford to hire a cello player for "A
quick One," so it seems unlikely that they'd spring for a trumpet player,as
I said,when they already had one.
