Out of interest, is the player anyone we know?
At last I may be able to actually get the dots to sound like it!

I think we will all be looking forward to hearing how you are getting on.
Most of us have had a long wait from the I want one to the I've got one
stage (in my case, 35 years).
Happy cranking!

On this subject, does anyone know if the CD is available anywhere (I already
have the book).
I did ask on the list before but didn't get an answer.

probably ruin your HG because they just don't know enough.
Remember, each is hand made so will be just that little bit different from
every other one. A good budget instrument will keep it's price so you can
resell it when you want a better one.

I wasn't aware of that program as I usually use abc2midi (which can't read
it, of course).
Yes, played fine on abc Navigator (and saved as Midi).
Many thanks to all those who replied and to those who sent the dots.
Nice tune, I'll learn it now.

Also see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nicolas_Ch%C3%A9deville

I think there may still be some in both camps though.
