I see that OMI has a nice facsimile of Reymann for $111.00. Should I purchase?

Are there any modern typeset editions? (Any tab system or pitch notation- just has to be legible to ancient eyes) Thanks for any leads- Dan On 4/26/2019 10:19 PM, magnus andersson wrote: > Dear Tristan, > > I have played some Reymann in concert.
