Klarinet Archive - Posting 000313.txt from 1994/05

Every now and then, a request comes up on Usenet news for a newsgroup
dedicated to woodwinds. Lately, the cry has been for a saxophone group,
but I managed to change opinions in favour of a more general group:

rec.music.makers.woodwinds Woodwinds techniques and equipment.

I promised the net.community I would investigate the possibilities. As
I'm still skeptical whether there proves to be enough interest to
warrant a separate newsgroup on woodwinds-related issues, I'd like to
know what the KLARINET subscribers think of this.

Should such a newsgroup happen in the end, what are the feelings towards
establishing a news<->mail gateway between rec.music.makers.woodwinds
and KLARINET, or maybe even the demise of KLARINET in favour of news?

Your opinions are very much appreciated.

Cheers,
