Ask I posted if you are interested in the basset horns contact Dick Page.
Dick is the bass clarinet in the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra AND an
excellent woodwind repair person. I'm sure Dick can answer any questions
you might have since he plays one of basset horns with the orchestra.
I'm curious, is there any one that specializes in basset horn now that
Dan L. is retired from playing? I know many clarinetists who specialize in
bass clarinet but basset horn?
