There was the idea that you would write a final movement to Local E that was a kind of Musique de Table if memory serves??

the double bell trumpet is not in 19-div, only in 24-div. It's not yet fully finished- I have to go and test the qt valve/slide next week, then it will be sent to the laquerers after that.

I cannot remember who wrote for bucket mute at some point, but I wasn't asked since for a bucket mute, but buying a bucket mute is cheaper than buying an instrument...if I dream about an Eb (Soprano) Cornet then I have to buy one- there's a great precedent!!

During being in bed for almost a week, with no note being played on any instrument, I start buying things like sheet music, mutes, CDs...and instruments. I like buying second hand/ previously owned, but good quality instruments.
