Subject: Re: [CB] DopplerphoneI've found information regarding the Dopplerphone. Apparently, it
was a "home made" instrument utilized by the duo Evan Parker and Paul
Lytton. A web review of their music says "there were some home made
items, notably the Lyttonophone (made by Lytton but played by Parker)
best described as a slide contrabass clarinet and the Dopplerphone, a
length of soft rubber tubing (activated by a saxophone mouthpiece and
manipulated to alter the rate of airflow) attached to a longer length
of clear plastic tubing (whirled around the head whilst being played)
ending in a plastic funnel." The entire review is at

Enjoy!
