I followed your link and listened to "Fibonacci's Dance". After that I
looked intensely at the score, but I wonder why you consider it so very
difficult? Of course I didn't play it yet on my claribass, but it doesn't
look so véry difficult, even though I now have to get used to my own clari
, as I quit the band from which I used a Leblanc the last ten years.

Mine is a bass from Frères Martin, and probably has been built in 1896. It
has a nice sound, comparable to the Leblanc, but speaking much easier when
playing above the "g" on top of the staff. Mechanically however it poses
more difficulties, as its keys are less easily located on the instrument.

But your work sound good over internet and after we are back from a short
vacation in what once was called Eastern Germany to celebrate a friend's
birthday, I will put it on the stand. I'll let you know!

Ciao

Rien
