worth 1/4 million dollars considering the breadth of it.>>

Dan,

Please check out the Fiske Collection of musical instruments on the campus of
Pomona College in Claremont, California. There Website is:

http://www.cuc.claremont.edu/fiske/welcome.htm

The museum's Curator is Al Rice -- an excellent clarinetist -- who you may
have met in your comings and goings in California. It would be wonderful if
Messrs. Horne and Rice could work out some sort of arrangement to ensure that the
collection will continue to be available for the public to enjoy.

Happy motoring...
