The krummhorn (or krumhorn or crumhorn) is a traditional Renaissance instrument. It's a reed instrument, and it has a much rougher, reedier sound than a flute, or even a modern reed instrument like an oboe, but I think it's an auditory treat. It's a long tube bent in the shape of a sans-serif capital J, so I suppose it sort of looks like a bent flute.
That was it. Thanks for the info. I was looking at it from across the room and on the other side of my mic stand. A couple of Tom's songs got sung by the room. (Rocket Ride and 307 ALE.) I have to go thru the 4 hours of recording I got from the open filk and see if there is anything REALLY good in there....
Some interesting songs were sung, including one I have to track down the lyrics for. I wish I had left the recording equipment up for about 3-4 more songs... Missed the members of Lady Mondegreen singing together and a song I had only heard refences to's existance. (I need to request that one again from the next filk sing I make it to.) It was even in my key... "R". (or more accurately, off.)
I love these oddball instruments. My theremin looks perfectly normal compared to things like the Pyrophone or the Gravikord, or the Incantor or Daxophone (both of which I plan to get someday), which for the life of me I can't imagine why that last isn't on this site. I've emailed 'em to correct that oversight.
And you don't even want to contemplate just how unspeakable an act I'd consider to get my hands on a Wishnevsky bass. I mean, really. You only thought I had limits. :)
It'd be cool to have a hands-on (or, in the case of the therry, *almost* hands-on :)) display of some of these at OVFF some time. Heck, I'll put Sergei up for display--anyone else have a musical oddity?
