Subj: [kl] Playing low E flat
Date: Sat, 19 Aug 2000 09:54:50 -0400

This summer in a gig with a colleague of mine, we found out purely by
accident a great way to get a low E flat. Get the Pak a Stand. This is the
stand which folds to fit in the bell and generally sells for about 10-12
dollars. If you give it a slight push, it will stay in the bell and when
fingering a low E you will get a low E flat.
