19th century Czech Raincatchers!
With double-bells, also!
Instead of talking to your plants, if you yelled at them would they still grow, but only to be troubled and insecure?

Interesting picture. Do you happen to know what the double belled instruments are?

These instruments are Schediphones made by Bohland & Fuchs. More info is about them here: http://www.rugs-n-relics.com/Brass/wish ... phone.html" target="_blank" target="_blankrodgeman wrote:Interesting picture. Do you happen to know what the double belled instruments are?
Basically using the same idea as a double-bell euph, the 5th valve opens up the 2nd bell with a more trombone-like sound, while the main bell is more mellow and euphonium-like.

Yeah, I noticed that. Most of those guys look to be pretty rough--------I wouldn't want to meet up with them in a dark alley. Compared to them, most tuba players these days look downright pleasant. (There are a few exceptions, of course, and you know who you are. Just joking.)Highpitch wrote:The dude in the white hat looks kinda' like Pancho Villa....
