i have wanted a serpent for years after seeing the great Susan Bradley walk into the room with one in tow all of 11 or so years ago....

she was my brass tutor for a summer program and I dont know what it was the look - the sound the feeling it gave? I just wanted one1

It was always a hard one trying to justify the thousands of dollars it would take to get such a beast to Australia and so it always was an idea pushed to the side...

Long story short - I finally bit the bullet I started looking everywhere online and stumpled across this this - under makers is ofcours russ kaisers website.....

So I am buying a replica fiberglass instrument - this will get me started at very least and I look forward to the noised i will make on it until music follows soon after...

Am a big fan of Michel Godards and so perhaps i can bring a new sound to the melbourne jazz scene....

Wish me luck and will keep you all updated of delivery and my playing attempts... Expect some how too's

Wish you all well
