Margaret-

When is your concert? I meant to reply last week but got busy. I suppose you
have tried the usual places in LA. (Gilbert's, the place on Sunset and the
place in North Hollywood if it is still there) that rent odd instruments.
Woodwind-Brasswind advertises that they have them but I could not find any
mention on the web site or in the catalog. Since you seem to need something
more cost effective you might try UCLA or USC.

BTW where did you find the music? Sounds interesting.
