The Buffets use an alto/bassetto mpc also. I am keeping my Bay mouthpiece
to use and leaving the Leblanc mouthpiece that came with the horn ( pretty
good mouthpiece actually!).

Dan Leeson sent me some advice regarding the sale of the Leblanc
Basset......and, aside from the legal issues of assault and battery (Dan
will get that!!!!), I may take his advice. I will let everyone who emails
me inquiring about the sale of the basset know what I mean....
