Sergio, I was not clear in my mail. I certaily believe that there are megatons of scandianvian tunes that really must have a trumpet. Just these specific Scandinavial tunes I was talking about are better played (in just my opinion) like e.g. some Carolan tunes without chien. I was not talking about Scandinavian tunes in general I have some, but only limited knowledge about Scandinavian music so I would never do such a judgement ;-)
Anyway thanks a lot for your hint I¹ll go following it. Cheers, Uli Am 16.03.10 14:22 schrieb "Sergio F.
