I will only play basset horn, and that only until 1/1/07. After
that, the basset horn goes and I will no longer playe.

Hi Dan

I really had to force myself NOT to bid on your instruments. I
have a
beautiful Buffet Crampon BC-20 B-flat instrument and a very much
less
beautiful Boosey and Hawkes A instrument myself, but to be able
to buy your
instruments was a temptation almost to strong for me. But I
cannot afford
it. However it was only until I realised what my wife was going
to say (and
she would be right about it!) that I could stand the temptation.

But I wonder: have you quit playing clarinet altogether (I'm sure
you will
miss it!) or are you only playing your basset horn? But with the
meagre
repertoire for that instrument you will have to play pieces not
written for
it, and with your ideas about changing what the composer wrote
... .

Ciao

Rien
