I was amused that Stephen had taken my b.h. to the ClarinetFest
in 2001 and that everybody in the U.S. but me had seen it. I did
not mind in the least, but was surprised when I started receiving
notes from total strangers telling me what a great horn it was.

There are probably (more than?) a few people who can.

When I was at ClarinetFest in 2001 in New Orleans, my booth was
right next
to Stephen Fox's. In addition to Dan's basset horn, Stephen had
a number
of other clarinets on display including his reproductions of some
early
models. Many people picked these up and tried to play them. I
didn't
think most of them sounded very good. There were two exceptions,
however.
One was a gentleman who I believe was from Puerto Rico (he had a
full
beard, I think) and the other was Larry Combs. They sounded
great.

Some people can play anything.
