Marc, I wish I could, but between work and school there is no way I could make it out to Vancouver in February. You are too far away!!

One of these days I will make it out there though. I've been east - visited PEI, NS, NB and actually lived in Montreal for a few years, but never made it much farther west than Hamilton.

Do you guys ever tour? Come to Toronto :-)

Hi Lora,

Yes, I've seen some great YouTube vids of contra and sopranino. I was thinking that I might put them in a future post.

You, of course, will make the trip out to experience your first PSWE concert next month, correct? There's a minor little sporting event in town that you might be able to take in while you're here. I'd mention the name but I think that every word associated with it is in some way trademarked and involves a fee for use!

You forgot to mention the wee sopranino saxophone which will be seen and heard in performance on February 13th. A treat not to be missed!

Fascinating! I'd never heard of contrabass sax before and I was curious, so I did some searching - here's an interesting photo of the sax family http://www.edinformatics.com/inventions_inventors/288px-JayCEastonSaxFamily.jpg

There are also some videos on YouTube - what an interesting sound!!
