The most terrifying thing on the whole planet

Just check this out, I cannot warn you enough:

Call George W, I think you’ve found some WMDs!

Whatever makes people happy…

Cool!
I’ve seen and heard these:

They sound terrific. BTW, their price is most definitely NOT $0.00, contrary to what the web page says.
Loren, will VH make good on this misprint :wink: ?

ABOMINATION!!! That has got to be one of the most hideous things I have ever seen! Couldn’t they have at least made it round?

A bit like playing a hat rack.

I cab see it now: one of our whistle smiths will make a “contra-low D” whistle from culvert pipe. Plays so low only elephants can hear it. The base will be a pickup truck.

How do you get them in your back pocket??.

I wonder why these things aren’t played standing up. It seems like more work to sit down and blow up. :stuck_out_tongue:

Good luck on that Paul. Nick has been known to give people some unusually good deals, but even he won’t go that far, I don’t think. :wink: They’ve been “upgrading” their website for nearly 3 years now, although the current “pricing” is relatively new. I expect it’ll be another year or two before the they have the website sorted out :laughing:

With regards to Bass Recorders, we made round one’s at VH, of course, and Paul, you should see the Reamers for those suckers! :boggle: They’re so big they look something used for street construction…or more likely destruction.

Excellent! Musical Bedposts! :laughing:

My friends, our only hope is in MAD (mutually assured destruction). :smiling_imp:

This must be the recorderzilla :slight_smile:

I want one.

Actually, I really do! I was lucky enough to play a great bass in college and it was tremendously fun. Too bad low recorders are waaaay too quiet for a session.

How are they used if they are that quiet? Are they just meant for small chamber ensembles or something?

There’s a bass recorder in the window of a little music shop I go to that I have to admit I really kind of want. The whole square thing with those looks pretty ugly though.

Nope, this is Recorderzilla:



Aaahh!! Tripod!

Here let’s try this:






Loren

I saw that like 5 or 6 years ago..i think it was a pear tree she made that out of.

Sure!

But where’s the bowl - and what do you light it with?

I knew I’d remembered the maker…here’s her site, which has more photos of the huge freaking recorder.

There’s a picture of Friedirch Von Huene in there, of interest probably only to Loren :wink:
