Jim,

OK mine has block letters, vented on the thumb, and a floor peg. The case is an odd shade of maroon. Only the low C is played with the right hand thumb, which doesn't match any of the layouts in the Basset horn book. I do wish it had a D or C# down there too. The C# is in the top row for RH pinky and the Eb in the same position as on the alto and Eb basses, bottom row RH pinky. The D is the only basset note played by the left hand pinky. This makes some movements impossible like a C#-Eb trilll or even a fast passage. Thankfully most of the solos involving the basset notes are fairly slow or involve just one of the basswet notes in a run.

I have played the basset as an alto substitute until my Prestige alto arrived. It is a better horn yet. It was certainly Bufffet's finest day of clarinet making IMHO!

Maybe this pitch problem is a problem for me and not the instruments as I have to pull out a good bit on the Prestige bass and I use the long neckjoint on the Prestige alto too. On the other hand I play the Eefer in really good tune all the way to high C. Must be something in my embouchure or maybe throat. I started on Eefer at 9. My neck joint might be a hundreth or two shorter too if my meausuring is correct. It even fits a bit loose in the compartment. the other joints fit snugly.

There apparently is a larger neck joint available on the new ones but I haven't bought one.

Eefer guy
