I find these instruments really interesting - finding real instruments under gold paint waiting for us after how many years. That's the kind of thing we dream about. It's just like finding another manuscript waiting in the attic of some old castle. Why do you say don't buy the CD? I did buy it and like it. Is the book you mention here different that the CD notes?
