Subj: [kl] Basset horn vs. basset clarinet
Date: Mon, 28 Dec 1998 10:37:40 -0500

Hello all,

I am relatively new to the list and have been "lurking" and absorbing the
good bits of information that get dropped here. I am a bassoonist in love
with the clarinet sound and constantly work toward its subtlety of dynamic
and articulation.

So, the reason I'm posting is to ask:
What is the difference between a basset clarinet and a basset horn?

Perhaps regional like the curtal and dulzian; one being from England the
other from Germany, but are of the very similar design.

Thanks in advance for all replies and flames:-)

Yours,
Joe Turpin
