I quite agree and so voted.

If I had to vote for a single brass instrument accompaniment, it would be the piccolo trumpet on Penny Lane.

Ah, pc31, I forgot about that wonderful French horn solo by Alan Civil.  Yes, it would rank up there with David Mason's piccolo trumpet solo.

This, from Wikipedia:

The French-horn solo was by Alan Civil, a British horn player. Prior to the session, Civil thought he was playing for a classical album, mistaking the words "For No One" on a lead sheet as "For No. One", an abbreviation for "Symphony Number One".  During the session, McCartney pushed Civil to play a note that was beyond the usual range of the instrument (pitched on an F horn, it is a Super-D sharp, that is, an octave above the standard 'high D#'). The result was the "performance of his life," high praise for someone who was known as the best French horn player in London at the time.

Savoy truffle is good, but what about the horns in Lady Madonna - some of my favorite!
