Amanda: If you know anyone who is connected with the United States military, they can
look through the U. S. Surplus list, under musical instruments. As far as I know,
every state maintains an Army Band of some kind. Every time it is their turn to
upgrade their instruments, the old ones go to the surplus. Maybe your school district
could be eligible to receive instruments from this resource. The instruments are
definitely used, and may cost a little, but the price would be pennies on the dollar.
Good luck

I realize this is off the subject of fly fishing ,but there are
people from all over the world who read this. I am Amanda, Jimi Genzling's
daughter,and I'm in the Artesia Intermediate Advance Band. I play the flute
and sometimes the piccolo. The High School band has a couple of piccolos,
but our band has only one. Our band has 7 flutes, which all of us want to
take the piccolo home and practice with, but we have to share it. We will
get to test to see who plays it in concerts but practicing only once a week
or every 2 weeks is difficult. I was wondering if anyone new of and or could
keep an eye out for a inexpensive piccolo or fife. I have heard the fife
played in concert and would like to learn it as well. We have searched ebay
and other places and music stores around here but they cost just to much. If
you see one or find one that you think we may be able to afford, would you
please tell my dad and he will tell me.
Thank you for helping me,
Amanda Genzling
