Huntsmen may mount a shift valve on their shotguns for dual sonorities.

Schleppy would be our resident expert on the 6-notes piccolo variants? (Maybe on ants in general).

Reminds me of the "piccolo trumpet" auctioned on eBay a few years ago -- it was a piccolo, but the headjoint had been removed and replaced with a trumpet mouthpiece ... :shock: :lol:

Hmmm... a Bb cornet has an open bugle of about 4 1/2'. That would make an Eb trumpet about 40" long. Looks about right for the rifle to play in Eb.

That looks like an instrument of natural selection to me.

One of the situations where backfiring would be preferable?
