It's one of the Yorks.

And no, the Yorks don't have a leadpipe tuning slide.

The last time I heard the CSO in London (was that January this year Johnathan?) Mr Pokorny was using a York.
I remember being surprised he'd travel with such a damageable/irreplaceable instrument...

Maybe he's secretly hoping it will be destroyed.

I saw this concert on the Beeb as well. Thanks for the heads-up, Neptune!

(and the fish & chips experience in London, too!)

Is that a Laskey Mouthpiece? 30H?

It was good to meet you UncleBeer!

I hope the Messiaen went well? My own Mahler 6 was well received although my lips were done in after doing that and Pines of Rome

Why not? How else are you going to see your music while marching?

I did notice a euphonium

You're right! What was I thinking!?!

Doesn't the YamaYork come with an optional fiberglass recording bell and strap rings?

Bob1062 wrote:Cool. I remember hearing a piece of his a few months back entitled "Blood on the Water" on the radio, and I seem to recall it having a bit of low woodwind stuff.

Just watched the Turnage again and it has 2 contrabassoons and 2 bass clarinets, plus the saxophone (?) as in the picture.

I have also included pic of the low brass complete with euph.

Not really my sort of music, but interesting to hear all the same.

One of my favorite works. I would love to know who was playing 2nd Tuba?

Sorry, not from me! I was busy playing in concert myself Tuesday evening. Shame as I would like to have gone to that one

Jonathan, that's a soprano sax. (you seem confused as to what it is, based on the ?? you've been leaving! )

===============
No wonder I didn't get the Chicago gig 20 years ago...too much hair!

I don't know if you will be able to access outside the UK, but the CSO Shostakovich 4 can be heard at http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b00db5rd" target="_blank"
