Subject: serpent recording

Just picked up a neat CD called "Fill Your Glasses" (Convivial English Glees) by the Canterbury Clerkes, with the London Serpent Trio.

The trio uses an ophecleide, a serpent, and a contrabass serpent (or Anaconda).  There's even two decent photos of the instruments, one with them being played, the other not.

Amado is the correct name. I was wrong. I always get those two brand names
crossed up!
