I just stumbled across the Telemann biography at HOASM: http://www.hoasm.org/XIA/XIATelemann.html
It says: .."by the age of 10 he had teamed to play the violin, the flute, the zither, and keyboard instruments."
.. No sources are quoted. Does anybody know anything about this? Frank Nordberg http://www.musicaviva.com http://stores.ebay.com/Nordbergs-Music-Store?refid=store To get on or off this list see list information at http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html
