So this is modern piano range. I am used to writing it AA - c''''', but it is the same. This notation applies across all instruments and times as the range changes, it is not modern piano centered. It is easy to use once you get used to it. I hope I explained this well, it's the end of a long day. -- ----Dave ----------------------------- Dave Doremus RPT New Orleans algiers_piano@bellsouth.net ------------------------------ ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
