How's the storm going Ken? Have you decided whether you'll do it on the 5 string or the ext? Nobody in my section had an extension so we just played up the octave (or faked notes altogether in the most "stormy" bits, with the grace of our conductor - a former cellist). I really didn't enjoy that and I don't think it sounded as good as it could if we were at least faking our way through it in the correct register. I like the instruction we were given though: "At home, practice playing all the notes accurately. When you come here, just worry about playing in time and at the correct dynamic." At least people acknowledge that some of that movement is unplayable.
I've got my Spiro low C here so I'll let you know how that performs in a couple weeks (per the low B thread in the strings section).
