 Re: alto clari vs. basset horn

I wrote some trios for two clarinets and either: Alto Clar, Bass Clar or Eb Sax. I don't like Bass clarinet that much for this and Alto Clar never had a good sound to me. So I'm left with alto sax for the low notes and it effectively plays only as low as a Bb Clar with an extra 1/2 step. The music goes down a few lower to a concert Eb which I think an F Basset horn can range to. A tenor sax would cover up the two clarinets. An alto sax might be too much too when the notes got up into the Middle of the staff. I might buy a Basset horn in F and play the third line myself. I don't care so much about available music cause the way I'm going I could write my own. Also is it feasible to sit in with the F horns in the community orchestras? Horn players seem to screw up most the time and could use a clarinetist to plough thru the parts without struggle.
