duets" an important question to ask is "who is providing the music?"

The death of classical music have been over predicted for how many years?
When I left Dallas the first time. There was the DSO, which took a break
during opera season to provide musicians for the opera orchestra. There are
now at least five syphonies in the DFW area that are professional level.
Yesterday the local classical radio station played this abomination.
The Concert Piece arranged for orchetra and solo piano.
I informed their DJ of how I was disappointed that he would play such a thing.

Well not sure how you categorize "rare." It was done, rather well IMHO, by
the DSO last spring.

Allow me to quibble, it is relatively easy to test a new lead pipe. Easier
to demonstrate than describe, but probably anyone could figure it out in a
few moments. See my earlier response.
You do make a valid point about spending some time with a horn teacher as
