- Tanais sits at the edge of the tub, politely waiting for Mary and
- MonTemplar to finish their waterfight.In the mean time he looks at
- Emmet's Chapman Stick and sees the serial number #001... he smiles...
- "Hey Emmet, you made my stick a few years back! Mine is #167, you
- made it out of polished Oak and it sounds beautiful. Much nicer than
- those Polycarbonate models you moved onto halfway through."
-
- Tanais remembers the first time he saw a Stick -- played on a stall
- at the Frankfurt Music Messe back in 1985. It was love at first
- sight. and Six months later he has saved enough to get his own Stick
- -- hand made and shipped over to England -- but it will never be
- enough to sway him from his one great love -- the fiddle. One day
- Tanais will treat you all to the swirling wildness of Reynard's
- Reel.
