This is to other pipers who have been to Germany to any of the piping events or workshops and have probably met the excellent pipe-maker, Uwe Seitz and his charming wife, Rosalba. She also played the Norhumbrian pipes, and other pipes, and helped Uwe in both his pipe-making and teaching. She enriched the lives of those who came in contact with her.

Yesterday we were at her funeral. The church was full of her friends. John, Boris and the two of us played two tunes for Rosalba during the ceremony. Uwe asked us to inform the piping friends we know. We are very sad that we lost her. Rosalba and Uwe did so much for German Northumbrian pipers and we owe her such a lot. She was our first teacher and we will always remember her patience and kindness - and temperament. We hope you are both fine and send you our kindest regards - Elisabeth & Uli -- To get on or off this list see list information at http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html
