What is this Musical Instrument?

01/02/2012 7:23 AM

Pardon me folks, for this non-engineering post, but i just can't get peace until i know what this marvelous instrument is.....

i saw it on YouTube when looking for various versions of Badinerie by Bach... it looked like a Harmonica, but doesn't seem to be one (i play it reasonably well, a childhood craze)....couldn't get anywhere on Google either....

here is the clip : http://www.youclubvideo.com/video/148544/richard-galliano-bach-badinerie

I believe that is an accordina.

This is a great knowledge sharing system. Thanks to you, I now know the Tower of Brahma solution.

Nice, isn't it? The win-win situation i mean.... also the Tower of Brahma/Hanoi (all right, we can be magananimous).

The first one i heard was actually the chessboard puzzle, wherein a humble farmer does a good turn to the king (saves him from a cobra or something), and the king offers him any reward that he (the farmer) wants. That guy says all he wants is one grain of rice on the first square of the chessboard, 2 on the second, 4 on the third, so on. We don't know whether the farmer was rewarded with gold instead, or beheaded for being a smart aleck....

The Google search engine was only trying to anticipate your search term, which it does by guessing most often searched terms, when it gave you the option to search instead for the original term "accordina" you only have to click on that option....

accordina

You can also right click on a picture, select copy url, and paste the url in the google image search engine by clicking on the camera icon...

Oh yes, i have torn my hair out when my phone, touchpad and computer want to anticipate me....i reach Russ to start a mail to my friend Russel, but the blanketyblank thing forces me to go via Russia, Vodka, Caviar until it inexorably takes me into the fangs of the Viper of the same name as my gentle friend.....

i have a few friends and relatives too, who know what i am going to say before i say it Unlike the electronic things, i can't turn them off....

Ah - I see - so that's what you accused me of doing in your thread and banned me for.

Fascinating

It's what you have left after a brawl with a button accordion.

Check out the awesome two string violinthing played here.

It might be flute. Nowadays, we hardly see this type of instrument. You can also check out some music store.
