 The Chaladoo

Here's a great article from the current New Yorker on the chaladoo, a home-made bass clarinet size chalumeau.

Who'll be the first one on the Board to make one?

Best regards.

I've already started (sort of), in the process of building a low-C extension for my bass clarinet made out of part of a plastic Normandy bass clarinet bottom end, a bunch of saxophone key parts, and not nearly enough free time to finish the job....

I am game but the articale stopped short of providing a "recipe card"
I got a bunch of pipe and access to a lot of scape. (the company that i work for builds condos and hotels)

Thanks for the link, Ken. Interesting stuff.

Curious: when he calls 60 Hz Bb, wonder what pitch and temperament he means? In even temper A=440, it's almost 50 cents sharp.

Making an instrument similar to a Clarinet has interested me for a long time, but I'm too busy on the computer (???).

Regards,
John

Not to be technical, but isn't it just a crude (bass) clarinet, defining a clarinet as a cylindrical single-reed wind instrument? I wish they had a picture.

Don -

That doesn't show the half of it, or even the tenth. Cruise the site to http://www.polygraphlounge.com/instruments.html . Truly bizarre.
