Sounded like shite (certainly for the price - £57) but a nice idea I could get used to on better sounding instrument. Anyone play one? Thoughts? Read all about it HERE One wonders how easy it would be to modify a Generation C to such a thing... |

His response was to send me a scrutty little price list for his standard products. So I got a G alto recorder instead. |
