Thank you. I wondered that too. Then I heard the Mozart piece above. Those instruments sounded very similar to the ones in my Six Feet Under question (at least to my ear).northland10 wrote: ↑Thu Nov 23, 2023 10:00 am Sounds like English Horns. They look like big oboes with a bulge at the end.

They would sound similar as they are both in the double reed family (like the bassoon and the older crumhorn, shawm, and even bagpipes). The difference is in the tone as the English horn is darker, and as wiki says, mellow, than the brighter sounding oboe.bill_g wrote: ↑Thu Nov 23, 2023 10:16 amThank you. I wondered that too.

Happy New Liturgical Year (the churchy liturgical year begins on the 1st Sunday of Advent which is tomorrow). As such, here is how I will begin tomorrow, well except it will be me playing and not the people in the video.
J. S. Bach Wachet auf, ruft uns die Stimme ("Sleepers awake"), BWV 645.
Followed by one of my favorite hymns, "Lo, He comes with clouds descending."

It’s amazing what you can do with two large bellows and 40 tuned kazoos!

Cool. Not really kazoos since those require a voice to create the tone, the reeds in the regal(sound through reeds, like a clarinet) do make it sound kazoo-like. If an accordion looked up it's ancestry on Ancestry.com, it might find the regal.John Thomas8 wrote: ↑Mon Dec 04, 2023 9:55 am The first comment made me giggle:

A pipe organ is really not much more than a large box of whistles. That would be like thousands of whistles with really large bellows, and some reeds to wake up the folks in the back.
This is what 50 inches of wind pressure (around 1.8 psi) will get you. Most flue pipes are much lower, as are most reed pipes.
