Can we get a recording... but I suppose this may be too modern to HC?
I got myself in a bit of trouble in teh Houston Museum because I was so
in love with the Tibetan long trumpet and stand that I was takign
picture of it... and got busted using the flash.
But, hot damn... I want a long trumpet and a stone hall to play it in
something terrible. They are supposed to be heard, half of them at
least, on the other side.
