[longhorngurl210]

do you need a 5octave to play this?:/

[sag8t]

@longhorngurl210 There's a re-written part in the music, when you order it, for 4.3 octave.

[musicallymusicable]

@sag8t that is very good to know, thanks much!!!!!!

[joschneider1]

she has an amazing sound for someone that is playing cross grip! upper level dynamics is something that is often sacrificed with the cross. i am very impressed

[nickstix]

This is probably the best version I have seen of this piece. Very beautifully done.

On a side note, the crack of that bar around 2:06 didn't sound too good, anyone else notice that?

[hiromimarimba]

@nickstix

You are right! I was also surprised on the stage at that time.

It was the first time for me to play YM5100 in my life.

Before that I played always only YM6000, I did not know the capacity...

After that I played very carefully base tones ＾＾*
