Hi Dan,

It was a man around 60ish. He spoke high German with no accent that I could discern (although he didn't talk much!) He said he had many historic instruments but not there with him. At the end, we had to walk all around the entire baths with our instruments passing very closely to the entire audience but I didn't recognize him there anymore.
