This is correct. The article is "Dynamic Changes of  Orchestral
Instruments" by David A. Luce from the AES E-Library (obtained legally). It
talks about the timbre or tone quality of the overall instrument in a
simplified manner. So yes, fixed filters are preferred.

Rutger mentioned spectral tilting of parallel filters and that got me
thinking about the tone control from the Big Muff Pi. I fired up the Tone
Stack Calculator and played around with the values and it "seems" like I
can get the responses that I'm looking for.
