Howdy M G,

quote: BTW, do you know the range of the standard 5-string nylon guitar and the 4-string bass? If you do, somewhere in Share/Music there is a piece (Canyon de Chelly) that uses guitar--perhaps two of them--and I really wonder how much is out of range

I am no expert in this area. I think Sherry could tell you. However, I THINK it is E-3 to E-6 ( The actual sound is an octave lower ), so the C-3's in Canyon de Chelly may be a little low, technically (not sure about that). The bass should be an octave lower. That wouldn't matter in my band, though. When handing out the charts I would just say " Hey, Louie! Loosen your low E string a bit! "

Cheers,
Fred
