How long does a composer have to be dead before he gets any recognition? All this denigration of anything newer than Vivaldi! Some of the newer things are very beautiful and you can't find out what's good or bad without trying it. dp __________________________ David M.

You know, like the fingernails on the chalkboard. None of the other instruments are tuned high as far as I know. I don't think you'd need a full 50 cents to achieve that effect. And, you could do that with a keyboard and not risk ruining an expensive instrument. It's not like you need a real piano for that.
