It's NOT a basset clarinet!! Jeez. Don't tell me I did not make
that clear.

Dan,

You've done nothing wrong.

Unfortunately, your target group of potential buyers is
incredibly small.

To ask a talented student or semi-pro to drop $10,000 on an
instrument where
the repertoire is but a (very small) handful of works is asking
quite a lot.

Thus, you are left with the (ever declining) small pool of
full-time working
professional clarinetists.

Economic times for classical musicians are difficult. Given the
choice of
buying a basset clarinet or purchasing a new car, paying the
mortgage or
saving some funds, a new harmony clarinet purchase is low on the
agenda of
priorities.
