Yes, but Stevie is almost (quasi) using a 48 reed instrument (by  
default) inasmuch as he is hardly ever in the first octave of the 64,  
and not much even in the second octave. Kid seems to like the sonic  
bat signals from the upper 2 octaves.. lolol  (frankly, so do  
I.....from him anyway).

That's correct. The chromo is a 2 story instrument with apartments on  
BOTH floors and BOTH sides of the hall. The slide is the stairs. I  
good mailman can deliver the mail to all the apartments and reach the  
correct resident (note). A shemp who can't should consider applying  
for some OTHER civil service job. (giggle)
