They are callked musette du Centre or simply cornemuses du Centre. They have a range of an octave and a half.

Best,

Is that like the phrase from the Christmas song, "Jouer hautbois, résonner musettes?"

Thank you for the kind words and whishes.

We havent been traveling much these last five years because the girls , being so young , would'nt remember their trips. And that would be a shame.

In 2010, Evangeline will be old enough to communicate her needs and it will be easyer. So we are planning a short trip to Scotland (one day's driving from home + night ferry).

After that ,

well ! Vancouver is a must !

If by chance I happen to cross the Pond for professional reasons before that time (concerts, workshops...) I will let you know

.

Thank you for the warm invitation.

Robert
