If your ever in Lyon drop into Bernard Boch/Richard Pick or B&P Instruments de Musique Anciens Et Modernes at 8, Quai Romaine Rollande for their huge display of Muller of Lyon brass instruments. They have about 8 Ophicleides on display with the occasional one for sale. Online at www.pick-et-boch.com
