...oops  Roll Eyes

(Don't give up your day job, Ollie... unless perhaps your day job is photographing musical instruments, in which case giving it up might not be the very worst of ideas...)

Mr Sudden - I don't suppose you are willing to divulge how much an instrument of such beauty might have set you back? It's gorgeous!  Tongue

What is this instrument? Is it bass clarinet? It is not saxophone, I think.
And what is the score next to it?
Congratulation on a beautiful instrument.

Hey, I was about to say that.

(tp: it's a basset horn, I believe)

I will now take my place at the back of the line of salivating composers.

A basset horn it is. Buffet Prestige, BC 1723 I think. Set me back about 3500 of your Earth Pounds. Which is about €15 nowadays.

Buffet brought out a new basset horn a few years ago - when I was living in Paris in 2003 I saw the prototype at the Buffet factory; I tried one out at the Musikmesse in Frankfurt last year and was damn impressed. They've recently changed a couple of details but most of them not as far as I can tell for the better - the fine people at Howarth (PROPZ!) had until this morning two of the old new ones and one of the new new ones and the new new one was really quite a lot harder to blow which we don't want really do we?

The dots nearby are of the Mendelssohn Konzertstück Nr. 1.

I'm playing in Michaels Reise um die Erde by Stockhausen in mid-May in Vienna. There will be a couple of basset hounds in that but not played by me. But we have a Stockhausen tribute coming up later on where one of the composers wanted to write for basset horn and I thought it was time to have one up my sleeve so I went shopping. That does mean we can play some Mozart divertimenti in any idle moments between rehearsals... Wink

Evan, martle, feel free!

Hmmm, doesn't look like any of the basset horns I've seen...

The ones on that CD cover posted by IGI are more like it.

 Wink

That reminds me:  Saturday 19 April at St Johns Smith Square - excellent player Jane Booth will be playing the Mozart clarinet concerto.  Second half of the programme is the Mozart Requiem.  Someone with a four-syllable name will be leading the orchestra...
