This top-seller is full of energy and fun! 10048339 String Orchestra. . . . . . . . . . . 45.00 Remote ControlRichard Meyer. This one is "laugh-out-loud" funny! The concept is simple: what if you could control a live orchestra with a remote control? With the click of a switch (or, in this case, the sound of a bell), the orchestra switches from piece to piece in mid-phrase. Listen as Eine Kleine Nachtmusik changes to Beethoven's Seventh to Stars and Stripes Forever and back again! Your audience will love it as they "surf" from channel to channel, including brief stops at the "Opera" channel and the "Sci-Fi" channel! This remote even has a "pause" button that freezes the orchestra, and a "mute" button that keeps them playing, but with no sound! Great fun for everyone! 10050407 String Orchestra. . . . . . . . . . . 49.00 H Rosin Eating Zombies from Outer Space Richard Meyer. Don't miss this!
