If you ask me I rather be Rafael type of woman with forms, than a skinny undernourish neurotic type. But it is personal preference.
I am red hair this time. What about you?

I am intrigued by your 'under the bed' waffling... it must be a high one to fit you, a computer and presumably a clarinet or two to while away the times between waffling.   It is indeed, A. I need a ladder to get to it.  It depends how many instruments I have at home (sometimes I leave them at work) but there can be as many as 7 clarinets, a saxophone, a chalumeau and I forget how many recorders under it. And a desk and a computer and a CD player and a printer and an Ollie. |

Don't know if there's quite room for a waffle party along with all of that gear but I'm willing to give it a bash!

I suppose you need the ladder for playing the contrabass chalumeau too? (I was once at a Musica Reservata concert back in the 80s, and the player of the Contrabass Shawm had to stand on a stepladder to play it. Sadly the sound of this mighty-looking monster was completely disappointing, like a bassoonist trapped in a wardrobe.) |

They say travel broadens the mind - but in many cases travel has made the mind not exactly broader, but thicker.

No, no, no, you lean the instrument over and support the top end on a stand! I've seen the Musica Fiata chap playing one in some Buxtehude. Didn't sound at all bad.
The thing about the chalumeau is that like a clarinet it sounds an octave lower than a flute or recorder of the same length would. So the soprano chalumeau with lowest note F above middle C is the length of a sopranino recorder, more or less (lowest note an octave higher). Similarly the 'basson di chalumeau' is actually surprisingly small.
(What a shame!)

That's all very well ladies but it means some of us poor chaps are very nervous of revolving doors.  Does symmetry matter? |
