I wasn't going to say anything. Anyway, "Kegelstadt" is incorrect. "Kegelstatt" is not a game,
but a place, in this case an 18th century version of a bowling alley, where "ein Kegel" is, in
this case, a bowling pin (e.g., nine-pin, a skittle) and "Kegeln" is the German verb for the
expression "to bowl". There is an article on woodwind.org, by Stan Geidel I believe, which
discusses the origin and authenticity of the "trio" in question, if anybody cares to do a search.
