I see how you guys are.
No room for the rainstick.
And just after I figured out how to amp it. Your loss!

Tex the rainstick will be dispensible for the Yappese Opera that I'm proposing we do about, when they oven baked a 19th century sailor washed ashore rather than boiling him as was then the norm. The opera is called 'Baik'd-ta' of course and was by the celebrated Yappesse writers who co-incdentally were known as Tim Rice and Andrew Lloyd Webber, I say co-incidentally because they are not related in any way to the famous Hawaii 5 O stars going by the same names that we all know and love from our more recent history.
There is a rainstick solo in there that traverses 9 octaves so some practice will pay off in the long run as it is a very demanding piece.
I am having a little trouble translating the libretto though
