This is an unusual "instrument." I think it would need to be part of an ensemble, as by itself it is capable of only half of an octave.<br /><br />I note the name of the band is les Banes. I don't know French, but there is a town north of Monaco called Dignes les Banes. Maybe that is where they are from. It is the home town of Alexandra David-Neel, a ground-breaking woman who explored TIbet nearly 100 years ago, disguising her gender.Dave-CostaRicaDailyPhoto.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02567583999945259422noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38581932.post-39854111305903354302010-02-04T07:52:50.835+01:002010-02-04T07:52:50.835+01:00une belle ceinture de cloches, il fait de la musiq...une belle ceinture de cloches, il fait de la musique avec ?Olivierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00602980523811128510noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38581932.post-11349892394607149642010-02-04T07:37:17.734+01:002010-02-04T07:37:17.734+01:00Interesting and unusual.Interesting and unusual.Gunn Whitehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08168691963180565408noreply@blogger.com
