Subj: Leeson's statistics & MIDI horns

Dan L.'s note about the number of new members to the KlariNet -- I are one of
them. I signed up back before Christmas, and truly enjoy it (although surely
ther's a digest version available...did I miss something in the welcome
file?).

Besides my old Buffet, I have a Czech clarinet (Amati?) that never has played
in tune...until I realized a couple of months ago that it's actually a C
horn.

But here's my question --

Does anyone else out there use a MIDI horn, or all we all traditionalists?

I have a Casio, fingers like a soprano recorder, has MIDI OUT connections,
lots of fun to play ... I did the finale of one of the Mozart concerti on it
the other day, for fun. I've been looking a a Yamaha wind controller (lots
more money), but would like to talk to someone who's actually played one (my
local dealer has _never_ sold one). Any comments?

Or should I be spammed and flamed for my outre ideas?
