A French Horn turned the wrong way.

Playing the Tiger Rag?

I'm inclined to think that one of those big guys could stick one of their mitts between the bars quickly enough and just far enough to separate one of their faces from the owner's head.

A French Horn turned the wrong way.

Well.... sort of. It's probably a mellophone.

[Mike-ICR]

I think it's a mellophone. They're french horn shaped but made with piston valves and operated with the right hand.

I tend to be with the mellophone suggestion. However I never knew mellophones were that common in trad bands. And I looked after a true carrier of the bass line. I have heard about bass saxes being used, but not about baritone saxes.

As for polar bears being dangerous: there is some real pinha in the kolada today.

Here's another example of a mellophone looking thingy.

Yup I knew they were used in jazz and as trumpet doubles in touring musical shows. Here is an obvious carrier of the bass line. That was what I missed with the Polar Bear Band.
