Has anyone played the reed 2 book for this show? I believe it has bari, tenor, clar, flute and recorder. I was wondering the amount of flute and the difficulty level of the other instruments. Thinking of playing some of the flute stuff on oboe...

Got my book yesterday, and I thought someone out there might be interested to hear the break down...
The recorder is only 4 bars - I'm wondering if it is worth playing on an actual recorder or not. We'll see.
Looks like the book is 70% bari sax. Which is great except my bari is an old Conn, no low A. First page has probably 10 low As! So I will experiment with cardboard tubes to see if that will really work (extending the bell so your Bb sounds like A). Has anyone tried this?
There is a little tenor and flute, which I think I can cover on oboe and recorder (no flute chops here), and some big clarinet moments. Most of those I'll be trading with the other wind player as clarinet is her main instrument, and she is tacet in many of the places. Seems stupid for me to hack through it while she's just sitting there. AND she got me this gig, so I want to keep her happy!
