Mr. Stalder said they were old basset horns in F which did play but
weren't in very good playing condition. One of them had had three keys
added and then removed again before Mr. Stalder had it. Does that answer
your question?

Yes, thank you. The 'trumpet-like' bell on one of them is what
attracted my attention.

Perhaps I shouldn't confess this, some of you may chuckle
tolerantly to yourselves, but I've become sufficiently interested in
this topic that I'm buying a 'bulbous' bell for my Bb --- just to hear
the effect (on low notes, that is) for myself.

Cheers,
Bill
