After I get it, and (probably) repad it, certainly I'll fool around with it for a bit. I've spent ten minutes blowing a very nice L-O-N-G one and a (Couesnon) "normal"-length one. That was enough time to realize that - since I can play bari-sax OK, ophicleide-ing really wouldn't be that tricky to master. If I get "stuck" on it, I might keep it (' won't do anything but go up in value)...
...Otherwise, I'll sell it to a friend who really R-E-A-L-L-Y wants one (my $$$$ "escape" clause).
