Basset clarinet short-term rental

Hi all,

I am a clarinetist finishing up my undergraduate studies at Arizona State University and am currently spending my summer at the Monteux School in downeast Maine. I have just been assigned by the festival's executive director to perform the Mozart Quintet KV.581 on July 12th with a guest artist, a cellist from the Metropolitan Opera with historical performance experience. I figured this would be the perfect opportunity to use a basset clarinet! I am looking to rent one ASAP - every retailer I have found online only seems to rent professional-level A clarinets and low C basses, but not basset clarinets.

I have bought and sold many instruments and mouthpieces online through eBay and private channels, so I can help the horn's owner navigate the rental process if they're unfamiliar. I recognize that a) this is an extremely last-minute request and b) that ClarinetFest being right in the middle of this complicates things. Also, I play Rossi clarinets, so I would need a full horn (both joints, barrel and bell) instead of just a lower joint. Please let me know if you have a basset clarinet and would be willing to make something work this late notice.

Best,
-Adam Schay
