Hi from England,
We have just returned from nearly 2 weeks in the USA and visited a museum in
Claremonte L.A.which you may or may not know about.
It has the only known complete collection of over-the-shoulder saxhorns
( soprano to bass ) by one maker, Hall & Quinby of Boston, 1872.
Sue & I got to blow these and they were wonderful, very free blowing.
Visits are by appointment only and the link follows.
I'll try to post some pics soon.
Best wishes,
Charley Brighton, Euphonium, BBC Wind Band, London.
