I've long been an admirer of John Denman's performance of the Finzi concerto, and recently I came across some pictures on YouTube of the 1977 sessions where this was recorded. I was intrigued to see he was playing an instrument like nothing I have seen before, and I wonder if anyone knows what it was? I attach two stills from the 1977 Finzi, plus a couple that google turned up of him playing the same instrument in 1985.

Selected features:

* "waisted" tuning barrel

* mechanism above the throat A key, presumably for better Bb

* extra LH Ab/Eb key (rare in those days)

* flat tenon rings

* large metallic badge on the bell
