Re: Buffet Basset Horn

I'd be pleased to find that, though it does mean you are limited to what basset horn playing you can do as obviously anything below low Eb is out. But I assume most 1st basset horn parts don't descend below low Eb. And you can play cor anglais or horn parts on it.

Leblanc listed an F basset horn to low Eb on their range chart - and looking at a low C Leblanc basset horn you can see the bottom joint is divided at this point.
