I just ordered Miguel Serdoura's book directly from Ut Orpheus (they even accepted American Express C.C.) on a Thursday and it arrived from Italy, to Ohio, USA on Monday! Surprisingly fast delivery convenient way to order. Compliments to Ut Orpheus mail-order department.

Several years ago, I house-managed a master class with Peter Wispelway (sp?), who plays a five string cello, among others (IIRC, he called it a piccolo cello). He said that it did, in fact, simplify the Bach suites. Guy -Original Message- From: Stewart McCoy [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
