Well, there are probably ways around this.  The seller is free to auction the instruments off at sites outside the country.  I assume that the French law does not give French museums jurisdiction over auctions occurring in London or the US.  In this case, only (!) 10 out of several hundred instruments were picked up by the museum, and this was apparently an unusually large number.  Of course, one could also say that they got many of the *interesting* ones...

Here are the fingerings for the natural horn in D.

c = open
b = open
a = open
g = open
f = open
e = open
d = open
c = open
Bb = open*
A = open*
G = open
F# = open*
F = open*
E = open
Eb = open*
C# = open*
C = open
B = open*
G = open
E = open
C = open
C = open

*Notes marked with * required use of the hand in the bell and some considerable lipping to play on pitch.  Notes c and above require lots of practice.

These fingerings will also work on most other natural horns, and work extremely well for the Contrabass Hoseaphone in CC.      (required contrabass content)

If you need fingerings for a different instrument, please advise what instrument you need.

BTW, Jim, did you notice that you're over a month ahead of the rest of us?  ;-)

He is probably using the new experimental daylight savings and loan system, where he can build up so much extra daylight that he gets months ahead of the rest of us.    =;-)
