Subj: Clarinet FAQ - February Edition
Date: Wed, 31 Jan 1996 21:35:09 -0500

Greetings!

Looking for mouthpieces? Can't unsubscribe? How old is your clarinet?
What's a good method book for beginners? What's Buffet's address?

You can find the answers to these and other questions in the
current edition of the Clarinet FAQ.

I have put the February 1996 edition online at

http://www.lookup.com/Homepages/47146/home.html

or

http://205.226.64.152/Homepages/47146/home.html

Here is a list of changes in this edition:

Bibliography Two changes.
Discography New hypertext link.
Societies & Periodicals One addition.
Web Pages Four additions.
List Server Command Summary New Section.
Midi Accompaniments On-line Finally, a reference to Oliver Seely's
significant contributions! You can
point & click to download!

amount of time.

Because the FAQ is a set of web pages it is full of html tags and is
nearly unreadable as plain text. If you do not have WWW access but
do have a web browser (e.g. Netscape, Mosaic) and ask very politely
I could archive the files, compress them, uuencode them, and email
them to you. (Please do not ask me to do this.)

Please let me know if you have any comments or suggestions.

Thanks!
