Tromba Marina (Trompette Marine)

This is a sample of how the tromba marine (trompette marine) sounded... so, you can understand the joke from "Le Bourgeois Gentilhomme" about it.

A tromba marina is not a trumpet, nor marine :D.

These are used on pipe organs

[lalungenuictdestens]

@piper102206 That's not true! The organ stops are called after many instruments (flutes, trumpets, crummhorn, etc) but that doesn't mean that there are flutes, trumpets, crummhorns and trompettes marines inside the organ!

[lalungenuictdestens]

Haha! :P actually I don't know what to say! I like the noisy medieval instruments... I myself have several very very loud and noisy medieval double reed instruments! For me it's not horrible! ;) I Prefer 1.000 times my bombarde than a classical clarinet or piano :S I hate them! That's horror for me.

Got to agree that this performance is not very good. It's like the recordings where people play hurdy-gurdies badly and then talk about how dumb the instruments were. In this case Munrow is way overdoing the buzzing bridge and seems to be bowing every single note up, rather than using the bridge for articulation and accent.

@crashbigtime Yes, and they sound beutiful when played in unison like a symphony.

@crazyclarinetplayer Hehe... anglos in every part of the world always get offended for anything... that's why you created the "politically correct way of speaking". How susceptible are you british people.

[crazyclarinetplayer]

@lalungenuictdestens As a clarinet player who wants a shawm, I just took offence :(

[VICECORE2011]

@lalungenuictdestens i totally agree. I really like how the didgeridoo and something like this really physically fills the air and will echo through mountains and valleys...

this could drive a person to madness

[crashbigtime]

There is another instrument based on the harmonics of a single string (and it manages the in-between notes, too); check out the Vietnamese "dan bau."

[AndyHirt]

Well, there is only one string. So you put your fingers on the nodal points. So it plays the harmonic series. I don't think that that was done here. The pitches match (roughly) the natural scale. I wonder about this recording...
