I was talking with Krouse a couple of months ago, and I believe he said that
it has been recorded. They couldn't afford the CSO, so they used some
orchestra from Europe. Bloom was playing, I believe. I don't own it, but
at some point I want to track it down.

Here's something we really can't try at home, but after watching NASA blow up
the launch pad earlier today, I'm curious what would happen if someone tried
playing the clarinet on the Space Shuttle. For instance, would
weightlessness affect the way the reed responds or whether the pads seal
properly? Would you have to use a plastic reed because a cane reed wouldn't
stay wet? (I wonder if saliva would bead up and float off, the way loose
drops of fruit juice float around.) Is the composition of the air different
enough inside the shuttle to change the pitch? Etc.
