A new musical instrument is being ordered

[o_bunny]

As the title says (like we don't already have lots and lots of instruments already).

Heidi and I today spent some time at the Ottawa Folklore Center setting up an order for a new Moeck Great Bass recorder.

This is significant because the order is in my name. Heidi is plagued by a Bad Special Order Fairy; when she tries to order in something to a store, the order goes wrong through no fault of hers.

F'rinstance, she ordered a Yamaha tenor recorder a while back. Well, the shipping place took a while to get the order together. Then they shipped it to the wrong place. Then, after they figured out the right place to ship it to, the order was *stolen* from the courier company. *THEN* the shop tried to get another one, and Yamaha didn't have any more in North America.

And don't even ask about trying to get sheet music...

Anyhow, the order has been started, and we shall see what happens.
