It is an unwieldy instrument with a limited tonal range that is hard to play. But played well . . .

It passes the Lituus test.

"best guesses"

Based on what? I'm not sure this Lituus passes the Litmus test.

I will go back and listen when they finish tuning. That sounded awful. Sorry, and I do appreciate all the masters.

To hear the music you can click under the picture on the site.

Does anyone know the translation in English for the Latin O Jesu Christ, meins lebens licht?

Soon to be the top musical instrument practiced by people who rent studio apartments in Seattle.

This would be an extremely difficult instrument to play well. With no mechanical way to change the “length” of the instrument, all chromatic note changes are accomplished strictly using the embouchure (lip and facial muscles).

As brass instrument design evolved, music changed, and social organization shifted, the discipline and technique of the embouchure have been largely lost.
