Mr. Hovey,

Ok, you've got me hooked. The sample is great! I've always been a sucker for good ragtime. I'm buying one.

Nice work Art! Bravo! My order is coming.

What is the instrumentation. I hear piano, tuba, violin, clarinet, and ??

Of course, someone must ask, What tuba are you playing?

It's violin, cello, clarinet, recorder, piano & tuba. I used the Weril for the first couple of concerts, then a Conn 5-J last year and for this year's concert I used my famous "frugal-horn". We also had a flutist instead of the recorder this year. Thanks for listening.
