Oh my......"heads shaped properly"? I know what you mean, but it surely
sounds odd, coming from Dan!

To Martin....be careful when you start including basset horns in the mix of
general purchases for the instrumentalist. Without really careful
comparisons (and I mean actually playing the different models BEFORE
purchase), one could make a VERY expensive mistake.

As for Keith's remark, I think he hit the nail square on the head. I hate
transposing, so I bought "transposing" instruments. I have been asked to
leave many times because I refused to transpose. And it wasn't a pitch
issue...the conductor simply wanted the music on a different clarinet, even
when it wasn't what the composer called for. No probs...I left, happily!
Sounds macho to me.
