Terry and Martin,

    Terry, that might just work.  The ladder is now a high pass.  The inductors
will be somewhat more expensive than caps.  It depends upon what the required
value works out to be.

    Another idea.  If you put a low-pass in the feedback of an op amp circuit,
you get a high-pass.  Maybe an op amp can be put around a Moog ladder to do
this.  I'm not quite sure where the input goes, though.
