This is very cool! I've been seeing a few things on facebook about the upcoming performance. This company doesnt put on many performances but they are often the best HIP performances you'll get in Australia. Very exciting.

I was at a Music Festival in Staunton, Virginia last month and they do some performances on period instruments.

One man was there with his baroque contrabassoon.

I. Want. One.

Well, it certainly looks like it would be worth paying that guy one dollar to play one open low note with just you in that room.

I'd rather have a hyperbass flute, personally.

Oh. Of course, you could at least take it on a bus with you without having to disassemble it first ;-)

Chances are, they'd still appreciate it if you disassembled it.

I don't know if 'appreciate' is quite the word I'd use.  0:)
