Subject: [CB] Noteworthy instrument for saleHey, did you guys see this one?

It looks like a cross between a bass clarinet and a
bassoon. Does anyone know exactly what this is? I
know there have been discussions on here about this
kind of thing in the past, but I don't remember what
was said about them. In any event, if you ever wanted
one for your own, here's your chance. It's up to
$609, reserve not yet met, with 4 days to go.__________________________________________________

half. According to Langwill's, it was invented in 1893 and
attributed to Oscar Adler, although actually invented by Julius
Jehring. Although it is often described as a clarinet folded in
half, the Jehring entry further notes that it overblows in octaves -
like a saxophone - instead of in 12ths like a normal clarinet. The
Jehring entry further notes "bass octavin" models in G and C....Enjoy!

Subject: [CB] Any bassets for sale?Mark asked me to forward the message below to the list:
============================================
I'm trying to get hold of a second hand Bassett Horn or bassett
Clarinet. The new ones are just way out of my budget, and although
I'm based in London, I often have things sent over from the US. Do
you think you could ask the mailing list for me?
Thanks very much indeed
