How wonderful you have a whole orchestra going, and in a spring-flowered
garden no less.

What time is tea?

Alison,

Oh my gods and goddesses! What a beautiful site, and an incredibly ass
kicking testimony to hard work and the DIY aesthetic too... I'm truly
humbled... thanks so much for sharing and I can't wait to hear them in
action!

take care,

I have three competent musicians on board at the moment. I want to
compose, rehearse and play for at least a year before recording to CD.

Nonetheless sometime this summer I'll take the instruments down to the
wonderful acoustics of the crypt of my local church and record some
playing. And when I'm ready I hope to record to DAT in the nearby stone
vaulted Chapter House of medieval Dryburgh Abbey which has the best
acoustic I've heard anywhere. Then I'll put up some excerpts.

Best Wishes
