I have all of them! I'm an oboe and double bass teacher (I know!) based in Dublin, and I am very much a Christmas enthusiast. I'm known among my students for wearing Christmas socks 365 days a year (they've checked!!) I've taken on some double bass students this year, and I'll be buying your double bass Xmas duets to play with them. Given the brilliance of the oboe books, I'm really looking forward to it. Many thanks and keep up the good work! Eimear Hi there! I have been wishing for a long time there was such a thing as instrument specific theory books, and now I've found them. I intend to get your whole selection of flute books- they are excellent. I just wanted to tell you how great I think your books are! xxx Janine
