Paul Hansen’s setup for Ragtime at the 5th Avenue Theatre in Seattle, Washington.
Paul's write-up below photos.
"Here's another new orchestration by Seattle favorite Bruce Monroe. As an adaptation of the original Bill Brohn orchestration for Peter Rothstein's 'chamber' production of Ragtime (cast of 15, orchestra of 15) we were able to keep most of the original percussion book intact.
Seen here are many of my usual stock effects - Remo Spoxe for the Ellis Island bell plates; alarm bell, chanchiki, and tubaphon pipes for Henry Ford's factory; vintage temple blocks and cowbells.
The angled mounting option on the new Grover Pro Miller Machine is a marvelous option for tight setups."
