Thanks for that. I'm going to play it in assembly next week and ask
the children to guess the instruments.

I have a friend who is a composer who has an eccentric bicycle wheel which
the LBS made up for her. It's a real work of art, requiring many different
lengths of spoke.

Won't they be thinking "It's Crispin, so it will be about bikes"?

If they do, and they can recognise the sound of a finger running over
spokes, I'll be delighted, though perhaps not so delighted if they
recognise the sound of squeeky brakes.

Squeaky brakes are good - much more likely to elicit an appropriate
response from wayward pedestrians than a bell, if accounts here are to
be believed. :-\
