I don't see what your problem is...

The first is a wooden keyed instrument, like a serpent, only smaller. They could have been more accurate and called it a 'worm', but that probably wouldn't translate well, either. 'deluxe super ebony preying mantis squeek-thing'?

The second often infrequently hits the right note, despite the attitude of the player. Copper is just an English policeperson.

As The Worm Turns ...

Says it all, doesn't it? :wink:

That's probably exacerbated by the "fuzzy logic" valves (valve 1.0 looks to be about 40% depressed ... no doubt the player is too). :P
