Ravingspleen, hello, that was a gypsie joke. And I was being facetious. But technically though, brass and woodwinds are more outdoorsy than strings. Ever march a Santa Clause parade?

But even still though, played outside or not, string instruments are not traditionally outdoorsy. I mean, look at Handel's Water Music, or Music for Fireworks. The band was meant to parade outdoors.

Brass quartets have a long history of outdoor performance, as can be seen by the Salvation Army bands around Christmastime, or historically the brass bands that would play following church services in Renaissance germany.

I really hope I didn't offend you... I don't think you're that much of a sensitive person. If you didn't chuckle, I guess I'm sorry...

But tell me what you thought of the MUSIC!
