But it's an even bigger crime to buy a Bundy, when you could get a Vito or
a B-12 for few bucks more (BIG difference, I tell you!)

Just ran across this one at Brookmays,
http://brookmays.com/classifieds/FoxContraBassoon.html.
"Fox Contrabassoon. 9 months old. No more than 10 playing hours on it.
Plays better than any Fox contra that I've played. I have 2 contras and
must sell this one soon. Asking 14,500.00 but am open to reasonable offers.
For more info, feel free to e me or call. (John)

Also, there's a *straight* bass clarinet to low C for auction at eBay, at
http://cgi.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=48859720. It looks
like the instrument does have the curved neck, but has a straight wooden
bell instead of the more common upturned metal. Opening bid is $1250...
Enjoy!
Grant
