It is huge.... reminded me of my bass clarinet but much bigger! Height and such!

It is made of metal. If you are counting metal, then this counts for being one of the largest wind instruments in the world as the sound is made by the passage of air.

Post by: DoctorBeaver on 18/03/2008 00:05:20: There's a lot of difference between a wood instrument and a woodwind instrument. Woodwind instruments, regardless what they are made from, use reeds to produce the sound.

Post by: JimBob on 18/03/2008 00:08:43: I didn't say woodwind, I said "wind", which may include everything from a tin whistle to a Sousaphone.

I know. I was just pointing out that there is a difference. Many people think saxophones are brass instruments.

Envious, Make It Lady? Camaraderie is not something I would expect you to understand as you are so vicious verbally.

How does your husband - if real - stand it?

This is the exact boghorn that I saw being played by Nick Crump. He plays all sorts of weird instruments and they actually sound quite nice. The nice touch about this one is that the lid goes up and down as he plays.
