 Re: New metal crook (bocal) for basset horn

I got the solution: I went to the Musical Instruments Exibition in Frankfurt, I tryed the new adjustable neck of the Leblanc Basset horn. I compared with my old one and it should fit. It is expensive (245 €) but less than 600 $ that asked to Don.
It will take more than one month to have it. At the moment I inserted three plastic rings, those for water pipes (3/4 of inch!) inside the neck, and other rings out of the mouthpiece. All the stuff is still mooving a bit but not as before.

By the way I tried the very new Buffet-Crampon basset horn : beautiful instrument, with the same mechanism of bass clarinet: very easy to play, with a full sound all the way, up and down. But very expensive...

Happy arpeggios to everybody

Al
