Exactly, I once took a poor third trumpet player and convinced her that she was more needed playing baritone. What was surprising was that she turned into an excellent baritone player. I am still a close friend of her husband, but unfortunately, she developed cancer and passed on. He always says that she didn't think she was any good on the baritone, either.
