Serpent

 My fellow Jumbo Crossword blogger Jerry thought he'd follow up on the answer to one of the clues in his next crossword to blog... the odd old musical instrument that is the Serpent. What does it sound like? His googling came up with this...


Interesting. Like a cross between a euphonium and a bassoon. But then I read the comments and followed the link to this amazing fusion music featuring a serpent...

The serpent and theorbo as jazz instruments! I love it! Add in the sax and you get great late night chillout sounds.

And this track, with a title that I think means "silkily" has a hypnotic ground bass...

Silkily indeed.
