For all I know, the same might be true of my technician, who's extremely busy.
He might welcome a bit of "sweat equity."  I'm just too chicken to risk
offending him by telling him what I'm doing, although if he saw and smelled
the globs of fungus I scrubbed out of the C Melody sax yesterday, he'd
probably be glad I didn't bring him this job!  If I find a good horn with a
bad dent, I may take my chances, because I don't have the equipment or the
know-how to bump out a dent.

Subject: SarrusFS page up

OK, the "sarrusophone for sale" page is now posted at the original URL,
http://www.contrabass.com/pages/gd-sarrus.html.  I've corrected it to
reflect that the Gautrot instrument is probably an Eb baritone, rather than
a bass.

If anyone else is interested, please let me know right away.  I'll be leaving for the airport early this afternoon, and will be unreachable until next Monday.  The last instrument I was interested in was gone in a matter of a few days: he *might* hold one, if contacted soon enough.

I don't expect any sort of commission.  I'm not posting the owner's telephone number only because I don't want him deluged with calls.  If you *are* seriously interested (and I can give you an idea off-line what constitutes "serious"), please feel free to contact me.

Enjoy!

Grant

There's Midiscan, but I don't know anything about it.
You can try going to their web site, www.musitek.com,
but, it kept locking up my Netscape when I tried to
access it.

Is there any sort of OCR prorgram out there for musical notation, something that can a graphics file of sheet music and interpret it, do stuff like transpose?  I am really sick of transposing by hand, because mistakes happen (most embarassing; stopping in the middle of a rehearsal of Take Five to try to figure out what a A#Maj chord is.  Stupid, Iknow, but just the sort of obvious thing to get you when the caffeine wears off), and it just takes a long time, as I have to do a lot of it (we are getting music from one book in concert key).  Somewhen must have put some sort of share ware out by now, right?  Thanks for the help...
