nothing particularly unusual (unless you count the ABS resin
clarinets in Eb, Bb and C).As for South American sarrusophone makers, perhaps Peter can dig them
up, having recently moved to Brazil...Grant

just now: "tromba" translated from Italian as "bugle", and from
Spanish and Portuguese as "whirlwind". No translation for trompeta.
Unfortunately, I am practically monolingual (I know just enough
German to avoid poisoning myself in a restaurant, and almost enough
French and Italian to navigate). Yes, exactly: "phrasebook" foreign
language for tourists... ;-)Grant

Subject: [CB] New website and concert announcementHi everyone!
I wanted to announce the launching of my new website, which features pictures and info on lots of low woodwinds, including my bass and contrabass saxophones, bass Rackett, and other fun things... The site is a work in progress, but already there's lots to see. Eventually I'll be adding sound samples, more pages, and more photos...
Also, as David Neubauer just said, "Occasionally there are posts of folks performing in concert on their
contra instruments, so here's my next":for anyone in the Los Angeles area:
I will be playing contrabass saxophone and contrabass clarinet on the Graduate Recital for award-winning composer Roger Przytulski's Graduate Composition Recital:
It's on Saturday, April 14th @ 2:00pm at Alfred Newman Recital Hall - USC
For directions and special traveling accommodations, go to the following page on Roger's website:
http://www.pretzyl.com/sidenav/events/graduate_recital.html
Original compositions by Roger Przytulski including "De Profundis" for Brass Choir, "Fountain Dances" for Saxophone Quartet, and "Ancient Trees" for Cello and Orchestra.
Featuring: Maxim Eshkenazy - Conductor; Peter Jacobson - Cello; The Spectrum Sax Quartet: Lee Elderton - Soprano, Josh Salez - Alto, Ward Baxter - Baritone, and Jay Easton - Contrabass.
The quartet piece is a substantial work which has prominent contrabass saxophone throughout. And the contrabass clarinet part on the cello concerto does go all the way down to low C!

This is all quite confusing, but
in Italian "tromba" is trumpet and "trombone" is trombone (at least in musical scores, but in daily speach "tromba" can also mean horn or bugle, and trumpet can be called "trombetta"), and in spanish "trompeta" is trompet and "tromba" is whirlwind. "Tromba" is no instrument in spanish (by the way trombone is called "trombón"). I thought there were a lot af spanish-speaking poeple "over there".
What is "whirlwind" in italian?Terje Lerstad
