 thanks anyway for the guys that put golden nugget studio together... there's 
some great stuff if you have never been there.
 looks like i won't be getting up for this gig..
 how bad does a CX 12 feel in yr mouth when coming straight from diatonics.. 
is it "that" big and cumbersome?? >>

without looking at the music, mightn't an alternatively tuned diatonic help?  
this occured to me the other day when i was practicing "the work song" in 
second position, and i realized that a country tuned harp would allow me to hit 
that major 7th (is that what it is?), without the overblow.
not to dissuade you from pursuing the chromatic...but the learning curve 
might be a lot shorter.
