There were a couple of notes at the top of the first octave that had the
characteristic penny whistle sound. Maybe it's a difference in bore, but
the instruments really sound different.


There is more difference between the bores of individual penny whistles than
between the average penny whistle and a recorder.

Don't be a bore, Fartingale. It was definitely a octocontrabass
recorder.

Clearly not - too high. I wonder if anyone has made an octocontrabass
recorder & what it would sound like.

Ask Dickless, fan. He's the alleged expert.

Dolmetsch is currently prototyping a "double contrabass recorder".

Low whistles go down only into alto country -- rarely tenor -- probably
because the idea of putting keywork on a whistle seems contradictory.

Interesting. Are there any recordings - does it sound any good?

I saw a bass recorder with no keys, and one of my friends actually played
it, but I couldn't because my hands aren't big enough.

I don't like carnies. Small hands, you know.

Not on recorders.

Nor anything else, fan.

He's an expert on how to antagonize people.

I stand corrected, fan.

What does that have to do with music, troll?

I remember a photo of a man playing a recorder probably of about 8ft
from the 1970s; would that be a contrabass in C? Is the Dolmetsch double
contrabass a 12ft F or a 16ft C one?
