I am very willing to let anyone play that horn in a performance if, and only
if, I am playing the other part!

It was a great treat for me too having Joe play it in Oxford; for Nancy
Buckman also brought her basset horn so we did Mozart and Stadler trios,
Masonic Funeral Music (in an arrangement kindly donated by Dan) both Mozart
Adagios including three basset horns. Yum!

Dan,

I got to play that instrument at the Kammermusik workshop in Oxford
last month. What a sweet horn! I really didn't want to give it back
to Keith at the end of the week.

Cheers,
--Joe
