    Caio Jason..
    I saw Guy Tuneh play Dittersdorf, & it was very special!
    so light, like a story that he told the people with his bass.
    he was not fighting with this concert like we all.
    after him played some other people the same,but it was not like him! his Cadenz was amazing Virtuos.
    his energy, pastion,he loves what he is doing(we in my land ,we like things like this ) . it was good.
    You have good people in your show, go on!!!
    say hallo to your people from Italy.
