Now what are the odds that a serpent player would be married to a
tromba marina player?  -Probably pretty good, actually...

Strange as it may seem, everything on that CD sounds better than the
duets my wife and I play on violin and ophicleide... ;-)

A couple of years ago someone posted a picture of the Bohland & Fuchs giant
tuba which is now at the Amati factory in Czeckoslovakia.
Unfortunately I recently lost the contents of my PC hard disc including this
picture.
Does anyone have a copy?
Thanks,
Francis Firth

I'd like to order one of each, please!

I'd trade in my helicon, flugabone, flugelhorn in F, Bach mellophonium, alto
sackbutt, Innes model trombone, King Liberty trombone and a few other things
to own those two! Maybe even my silver Conn vocabell trombone too!

Wowsers!!!
