Good Stuff, Jem! Thanks for posting that.

Also, Jim, I just looked on the bay, and there are probably a half dozen or so simple system piccolos under musical instruments > woodwinds > piccolos > used and seller refurbished. Worth a look, anyway.

Well, personally I don't give a rip whether it's folded, ironed, pleated, starched, spindled, stapled, or whatever. I like it Arbo.

Umm... BBQ sauce is for burned meat. If it needs BBQ sauce, then it's probably not worth eating anyway. Or that's the way we've always done it in the parts of Texas I've lived in.

I play a William Hall & Son six key in cocus. Originally it had ivory rings, although I believe that they've all been replaced. It's essentially identical to the Firth, Hall, & Pond six key that Grey Larsen plays and that was the pattern for McGee's GLP. It's a great flute. One of Jon C's re...

Well, dangit. It wasn't for me until you mentioned it. There is some strange stuff on youtube.
