Yeah, I really can't say enough positive things about my Thein piccolo. It seems to just play itself and I get to come along for the ride. I haven't played any of their other instruments. My corno da caccia is by Matthias Beck (Dettingen/Erms) and it too is a very nice instrument for a little less cash than the Thein.

That just begs the question: What are you playing these days? I love your Baroque recordings. It interests me that you're not there any more. Have you recorded or are you recording some new music now?

Thanks -keith
