An unusual instrument in an energetic ensemble outside the market in Funchal, Madeira yesterday: My blog | My photos | My video clips"too literate to be spam"

I wonder how you tune them.

For the life of me, I couldn't actually detect any effect all that tubing had. He was just producing a percussive effect, but nothing to be tuned..... My blog | My photos | My video clips"too literate to be spam"

Clipping off pieces would change the tune.....permanently.

He looks great, but could he really play?

I didn't stick around to find out. There is a music school in that little plaza. Since the dogs & I go through there every afternoon, I get to hear lots of skreeks and squawks.
If he were holding a violin case instead of a violin in that first picture, he'd look just like a miniature gangster.

The drumstick effect is terrific.

That first one is a really super capture!
There is something charmingly medieval about the French crew.

This thread sparked childhood memories from the sixties On certain days the local scouts, boys and girls' Brigade, Sea Scouts, Army Cadets or some other youth organisation's band...would march past the housing estate where we lived. At the first sounds of drumming or horns all the local kids would run out to follow in the band's wake until they left the estate...the excitement engendered is something I remember vividly...occasionally we have marching bands walk through the city nowadays...THE best being Scotish bagpipers imo....
