Nanoo, Nanoo!!!
Gentlemen, thank you VERY much for the advice. As this is my first time transatlantic, you can understand that i want to make the best possible use of my time. Being a rather absent minded soul, i forgotten to mention another wife tormenting toronto venture. Is there any good music/brass shops in Toronto/Montreal?
Andrew i see that you are playing one of my favourite symphonies the day after i leave; Mahler 5

!
Good luck
P.S. Hope my quirky sense of humour didn't scare you too much!
