Attachment:  Lupophone.JPG (1432k)

I, too, had a great time in Tempe. I saw old friends, renewed my acquaintance with Cooper and Frank - I met them last year - and met Craig. I was also impressed by the Chinese profiler. If it weren't so expensive, I'd be tempted. And I played an instrument made by the Wolf Instrument Company in Germany, intended to replace the bass oboe: the Lupophone! (See the attachment.) It has oboe fingering, a big sound that would probably become refined with practice; my playing sounded raw and rustic. And (you'll love this, Chris) it has the only cable operated octave key I've ever seen - sorta like a bicycle brake. Great fun!

Thanks for the kind words, Craig. I make the tools I want to use and I detest shortcuts and good-enoughs. I'm pleased you like them.

I'm already looking forward to next year. Meanwhile we've got the BBoard to occupy our attention...
