Dag Ellen.ik heb dwarsfluit opgezocht.Eerst in het frans “flute traversière”..in het engels is dat “GERMAN FLUTE” Ik veronderstel dat het dat is.Hoe koddig toch dat Witje.Ik vind de handjes zo leuk.Het is echt een tam beestje om dat allemaal te laten doen.
ccrcats
Amazing. Great work.
bertspix
...great shot..Ellen..by now you have quite an orchestra. Now you only need a percussionist and a conductor…..( on the PN I have a picture called “Herbert von Karajan conducting the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra.) You might be able to use him…Bert
Ellen replied
Bert, i hope to find drums too, but havent find it in their size yet :)

Ellen replied
Thats a good idea, thank you,i will look out for it. 9Thanks for your comment :)

just one more bit, as for the story of the Pied Piper, an ancestor of this fellow was probably respnsible for leading the rats into the town ;-)

F.A. Moore
Do make these into a series for YouTube. They will go truly international.
I can probably help, if you need it (for the Flash/Quicktime movie).
They are so sweet, I can hardly stand it.
Ellen replied
Do you mean taping a video? I ask that because they both passed away a few months ago.
Thanks anyway!!
F.A. Moore
You don’t need to do a video, although if you had any footage of them at all that you took of them playing around, etc. it would add. You’ve probably seen Flash or QuickTime shows. They do not need to be video. They can be created from images; a glorified slide show. But made really well, with music, etc.
And I am so sorry for your loss of these two little guys. Did you get others, or are you waiting a while.
Ellen replied
Thanks again; That would be a great idea. At the moment i am sort of busy, but if i need help,i will contact you.
At the moment i have 2 female rat ,but they wont sit still :)
I just bought 2 males, they will come in 2 weeks.
Regards,Ellen.
F.A. Moore
Oh that’s great. I’ve watchlisted you now, so I can keep up with your work.
