Hello Dan,
You may be pleased to know that honesty and good ethics still exist
in the business world. The matter of the bassett horn that really was an
alto clarinet has been resolved and the instrument dealer has made a
full reimbursement. There were many message exchanges over a period of
three weeks, in which we both kept our cool, before he was convinced the
the horn was indeed misrepresented. All's well that ends well, I guess.
Thanks for your input and consideration.
Best wishes,
Dick Damon
