I was in Paris last week and visited Mr. Bissonnet shop. Really nice instruments, but I agree with you.... for that amount you can get a nice Boudet, not that ancient but more playable and yet sexy french style...
I could not visit the museum, just four days for my first visit to Paris, really in a hurry to try to see most areas of central town. Just went for three hours to Orsay. I have to say I really enjoyed Paris, it seems to be a nice town to live in; along with Vienna, two cities in Europe I would not mind to move to (not to mention Utrecht... what a lovely town). Happy new year to all. Oscar. 2007/12/30, Ulrich Joosten <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > > Dear Henry, > > thank you for your hint on the address.
