Ferdinand Del Negro started with the Phila Orch on contra sometime in the 1920s. He's definitely worth listing. He was a great teacher and I learned a lot...
Hello Larry, You bring up some interesting points. I had recently seen (on another list) that Arlen Fast was doing some work with pattern matching to select...
Help me out here, Guy. Either I'm missing something basic or the number you threw out doesn't make sense. What is it that measures 1.55mm (about 1/16")? Did...

Sorry for the confusion. Outside diameters don't matter as much as the inside diameter and the dowl which the cane will be held for working. Many things can...
I commonly use .050" thickness for contra and bassoon. Steve Braunstein uses .065" or 1.65mm. However I am more worried about the diameter of the cut used...

To go to a recital by Sue Nigro is on my wants list - unfortunately it's a bit far from Oxford (The real English one). Shame - but one of these days maybe! ...
Hmmm.... Looks like somebody got a good deal, maybe? Not too familiar with Moennig contras, but my hunch is they're a bit better than Amatis? Harry Searing -- ...
Actually Moennig contras are great. I own one. I played a heckel and a several fox contras when I was in college and I find this Moennig to have easier key...
Hello Will, The general consensus is thumbs-up all around. (Not perfect, but...) http://launch.groups.yahoo.com/group/contrabassoon/message/1640 Actually,...
