Date: Thu, 11 Apr 1996 22:05:52 -0400

Greetings!

Are you are new to the KLARINET mailing list? Are you interested
in the answers to questions like the following?

"What ligatures do list readers use? Where can I order cane to make
my own reeds? Are there any clarinet accompaniments online? Are
there other music related mailing lists? How do I contact the owners
of the list?"

You can find the answers to these and much more in the current
edition of the Clarinet FAQ.

Because the FAQ is a set of web pages, it 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!
