Chapter IX

At a dock near the Burse Zamp hired a green punt with a green-and-white-striped awning and was conveyed along the waterways of Coble; under four-storied structures of dark timber, beside moored houseboats, under overhanging plum willows and stern black lantans. At Tasselmyer’s Dock Zamp alighted and walked along the Street of Sounds, beside the small shops where musical instruments were fabricated for export across Surmise Bay to Leuland, and much of Lune XXIII.

At the ramshackle Musician’s Club, Zamp noted several performers from his old troupe, who evidently had not secured employment with Garth Ashgale. Paying them no heed, he posted a placard on the announcement board:

The new Miraldra’s Enchantment, managed by Apollon Zamp, winner at the Lanteen Competition, has openings for several excellent and versatile musicians, who play instruments of the following categories:

BELP-HORN, SCREEDLE, CADENCIVER, VARIBOOM, ELF-PIPE, TYMPANY, GUITAR, DULCIOLE, HEPTAGONG, ZINFONELLA.

Auditions will be granted aboard Miraldra’s Enchantment (formerly the Universal Pancomium) at Bynum’s Dock.

The orchestra ultimately selected will participate in an important and innovative program, to be presented before King Waldemar at the Mornune Festival.

Only dedicated and expert artists will be considered.

Remuneration will be in appropriate measure.
