There was flute jazz, a three-piece band (drums, trombone, tuba) made a great sound, a brass wind band and a Klezmer group. Pretty good for all in one afternoon, a fact that was not lost on the other invitees; there must have been 1,000 people there.. Plus, an exhibition of musical instruments presented by various manufacturers, and free crêpes. And all in a beautiful restored abbey. What's not to like?

You can never go wrong with Kelzmer....that's what i used to play...so uplifting and impossible to not at least jiggle to.
They pack a big punch for a little shop. Or is it just that the French (and English ex-pats) know how to do things in style?
Looks fantastic - no banjos on display I presume? Still, some of us are driven to play them
Hey, Molls, what instrument did you play? And why don't you play it any more?
There were, sadly, no banjos, Mark - wind instruments only, the Atelier doesn't do anything to do with strings, it seems.
Jonathan, I rather think they pack a big punch, they're the only really serious instrument repair shop this side of Paris. They must have spent a fair sum, even so.
