Daniel, would these instruments be called the stroke-rods ? Are they played wearing a gardener's glove ? If so then, a set exists in the music department at Melbourne's Latrobe University, where I think they are still in use in the improvisation lab. They would have been introduced there by the late Keith Humble who had a long time association with UCSD where I believed Erickson worked. These stroke rods have been used in concerts by the contemporary performing ensemble Flederman, the nationwide Australian ensemble responsible for much of the contemporary music which flourished here during the 80's. Percussionist of the group, Graeme Leak would be the person who would be able to give you the most information. Unfortunately, I don't think he has email. You could write to him c/o : Music Department Latrobe University Bundoora Victoria 3058 AUSTRALIA But if you'd like to confirm details of this post quickly, then perhaps you could contact ex-director of Flederman, Graham Hair, (who incidentally has composed in 31-tET). Graham's address is : Graham Hair Failing that, then closer to home I'd imagine the percussionist Jean-Charles Francois or the trombonist John Silber would only too happy to help you with some further leads. Good luck. Greg S SMTPOriginator: tuning@eartha.mills.edu From: "Silverman, Adam B."
