An Instrument You've Probably Never Seen Before

Lynn with her Contrabass Recorder
Want to hear what it sounds like?
I'll explain a little.  I've been working with a fabulous recorder player named Lynn for the past month.  We did a little concert last night, and are hoping to do a bigger concert together in the near future.  Anyway, she has a collection of recorders ranging from soprano (very high pitched) to contrabass (very low pitched).  The contra is so crazy looking I had to share it with everybody.  In the last 5 minutes of rehearsal yesterday I remembered I had my digital recorder (no relation to the instrument) in my gig bag, so I set it up on the table next to us, and we hacked out a few quick recordings.  They aren't great, but for a very rushed, very unexpected living room recording session I think they came out decently.

Then our violinist Elaine showed up for her half of the rehearsal, so Lynn and I changed into our trio hats.  I stupidly stopped the recorder before we started.  The first piece we read through was so cool that I immediately regretted my action and switched it back on.  I'll post some snippets once I scrub through the hour+ of footage I took.  :-)
