I must apologise to those frumious readers of the brass band list who were
misled by my description (see below) of Wolfhart Lustig's invention, but I
thought that Carlos Riwel and the Liddel Press would have immediately
indicated that the book I mentioned could be purchased from the
Bandersnatch Bookshop.

>Wolfhart Lustigwho after observing the wobble of a  golf ball in flight
>designed a double crook, one side of which was normal while the other had a
>dimpled air way.   There was a trigger with which the player could
>alternate from one crook to the other.   The dimpled one produced a vibrato
>effect without the player having to alter his technique in any way.
