TKS for asking, Chris, I love words, their several meanings and their use in several [musical] languages. I've always associated bocal [French?] with the Fr oboe family [including the German bassoon !!], crook, as you say, is British [I guess], and neck always with the US [at least] sax family . The nearest word I've found [so far] to bocal is the IT "bocca" meaning mouth-related. Will consult a BIG Webster Dict. before long. HELP !, Don
Thanx, Mark, Don
