Since you hadn't yet posted any photographs, I was curious what system the
instrument used. Would it be Albert, Boehme or ??Fred McKenzie

Reply-To: contrabass@contrabass.comWell, i've been working on my "monster instrumentation" again and wanted to
ask a question. I already have full choirs of Flutes, Clarinets, Oboes,
Bassoons, and Saxes. Plus supplementary choirs of Heckelphones and
Sarrusophones. Does anyone know of some other woodwinds that would add a
distinctive supplementary tone to my ensamble. I've heard about Rothophones
and Crumhorns, any info on those? Thanks in advance.

the din of everything else you have planned. You might want to check
your local Sports Authority or other sporting goods store for a selection
of Duck and Owl calls. There is some historical precident for using duck
calls, I believe they have been orchestrated more than once by PDQ Bach.MG

>and Crumhorns, any info on those? Thanks in advance.Actually, I think it would difficult to distinguish rothophones from
sarrusophones by timbre. Crumhorns would definitely be different. How
about recorders? Recorders range in size from garklein (an octave above
the soprano/descant) down to subcontrabass, and have a timbre distinct from
flutes. Although you don't see them in bands (a bit on the quiet side),
you'd have no trouble finding instruments or players.If you're throwing the gates open to Renaissance instruments, there is the
cornamuse, dulcian/curtal, sordune, shawm, schalmei, kortholt, and rackett
to consider in addition to the recorders and crumhorns. All were played in
consorts, generally available in sizes from soprano to bass (and often
great bass). Of these, the shawm and schalmei are loud enough to be useful
in a modern band, and possibly the dulcian. They are *somewhat* different
in sound from oboes and bassoons. The others are likely to be too quiet to
really work well with modern winds and brass.Grant

>end contrabass listYou have left out:
- bagpipes and musettes
- recorders
- renaissance and baroque style double reeds
- harmonica
- variations on pan pipes
- various whistles.
Recorders can be loud if made rennaisance style and with a big bell.If you like grandiose, how about a bank of about 20 cages of trained
singing canaries in full song? These canaries can sing gorgeously an
on cue, ie. when the curtain is opened. There are three breeds of
song canary. I think a bank of 20 American singer canaries would be
the best kind. A concert for them would ber like going to a canary
show. And I don't think anyone has done it.A pond of little frogs would be nice, too; but I don't think they can
be trained to show.Sarah

Reply-To: contrabass@contrabass.comAnd once you bring in the canaries you may want to round out the alto
register with some chickens!Aaron J. Rabushka
