Dolmetsch is currently prototyping a "double contrabass recorder". I remember a photo of a man playing a recorder probably of about 8ft from the 1970s; would that be a contrabass in C? Is the Dolmetsch double contrabass a 12ft F or a 16ft C one? As far as I can tell, Dolmetsch's low line is as follows: Tenor 2' C Bass 3' F Great Bass 4' C Contrabass 6' F Contra Great Bass 8' C (in prototype) Double Contrabass 12' F (starting prototyping) -- John W.

There were a couple of notes at the top of the first octave that had the characteristic penny whistle sound. Maybe it's a difference in bore, but the instruments really sound different. There is more difference between the bores of individual penny whistles than between the average penny whistle and a recorder. Don't be a bore, Fartingale. It was definitely a octocontrabass recorder. Clearly not - too high. I wonder if anyone has made an octocontrabass recorder & what it would sound like. Ask Dickless, fan. He's the alleged expert. Not on recorders. Nor anything else, fan. He's more of an expert than you are or ever will be. You're just jealous of him. OWBDYMTK, F? |
