Your 7 year old daughter might work out just fine as a playmate
for my 5 year old granddaughter.

As for the horn, the color of cocobolo wood deepens and darkens
over time. It no longer looks like cow chips, but rather
burnished mahogany.

Put your daughter in a box and FEDEX her (surface only please) to
me. After she has played with my granddaugther for a while, I'll
let you know if we have a trade.

I am *so* tired of hearing all this twaddle about Dan, Mozart and
the
fabuloso basset horn. What a crock.

Dan's only 74. Sheesh.

As far as putting the horn on Ebay, why bother? It's a pile of
horse dung.
I saw it at the Clarinet festival in New Orleans - a downright
fugly piece
of equipment, brown the color of cow chips. Can't imagine that
you'll get
your money back, even if you throw in the Fobes
imitation-mouthpiece that
you insist does so well.

Good luck - you'll need it.

[P.S. - my daughter is seven, very cute. Can I trade her for it?
Straight
up. You'll love her, I promise. ;-) ]

[P.S.S. Congrats on the 74 thing. We all should live so long,
and do so
well!]
