It really is one of the funniest looking musical objects I've ever
seen--right up there with some of those Medieval and Renaissance
instruments whose names I've forgotten--but that doesn't say much about how
it plays or sounds. Personally I'd love to HEAR this bizarre little object
that probably will sell for something near the national debt of a 3rd world
country, preferably playing the piccolo part in "Stars and Stripes
Forever." I just don't want to own the freaky little thing.
