("eGroup is now gone, at least as far as Contrabass is concerned.  Let
me know if you'd prefer the digest (1 per day) format, which is still
available, and I'll switch your subscription settings.")

Thanks grant, That must be what I had before. At least it seemed to come
only once a day back a couple weeks ago & before. Sounds like the old
format is prefered by most. I know I liked it that way, pretty well.

BTW I made a contribution concerning the immensaphone, that didn't seem
to make it onto the "List"

The "Immensaphone" was more like a Gazebo that musicians stood in while
playing & the bell like roof structure would "Project" the sound into
the intended direction. sort of a trailor hitched amphitheater. I read
about this when I was in high school back in the 70s. don't ask me why I
remembered this, while I would fail American History.

I read in an old guiness book of records that there was a man that could
'sing' the entire range of a piano.  Is this physcially possible?

My little brother can squeak continuously up from normal range to the
highest note of the piano - I'm sure a trained voice with a naturally big
range could accommodate this register tastefully.

What year was that Guiness?  It doesn't seem possible, but you never know.

I don't know about the bottom end of the keyboard, but wasn't a similar range once claimed by Ima Sumac?
