Tom,

Have you checked with Dan Leeson? He had two horns for sale several months
ago and may have sold them as a pair by now.

California State University in Los Angeles also has a pair of Selmer basset
horns which we used several years ago at Glendale College. However, getting
those narrow bore Selmer horns to project was like trying to play tuba thru a
soda straw.

If you're interested in buying a single horn, Chris French in Los Angeles is
selling his Leblanc basset horn. Let me know and I can get you more
information.

Good Luck!
