Geoff Wooff Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 (edited) Nice photo Peter, a bit like "Aristotle contemplating the Bust of Homer" by Rembrandt. Edited February 19, 2011 by Geoff Wooff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leo Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 ........ Nice photo Peter, a bit like "Aristotle contemplating the Bust of Homer" by Rembrandt. My first thought would be Hamlet. "Alas poor Yorick!". It is a unique treasure. Thanks Leo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It may be more a reflection that I wasn't feeling the best (more like the skull of poor Yorick myself, with an awful head cold) the evening I gave that talk - in fact I was probably wondering what on earth to say next...

Robin Harrison Posted February 8, 2022 Share Posted February 8, 2022 Around 13.40 He's tuning one reed, with another one in the same tuning jig..........you can see the other one sounding. Is he tuning one to the other by ear ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you 'sound' two reeds together, you hear a 'beat' when their pitches don't quite match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
