    I love that one! My fav is the "release the penguins". I have been using tremelo on that part. Any other suggestions?

    I also noticed it was missing from those links but they are also available at these sites:

    One:

    http://www.harrogate.co.uk/harrogate-band/deathw.jpg

    and a Two:

    I hadn't seen the second page before, but looks even more difficult than the first!

    Is this available as a poster anywhere? Would be a fun wall hanger.

    yup. I had the same problem. I was wanting to hand a copy of it to my cello teacher and suggest they perform it for their next concert. It would probably be easier to find penguins this time of year.

    I used Corel Photo Paint to print it. Try resizing it and coverting it to an 8-bit grayscale JPG. Might want to increase the contrast a bit too. I suppose this could be done with other photo programs than Corel as well.

    Anyone who can get these printed clearly on a large double sheet of decent paper and into a mailing tube will get some money from me.
