Wow…that has a seriously high coolness factor. I wonder how it sounds (and how awkward it is to play)?

P.S. Did you notice you’re almost at post 1,000?

Rats! 
I wanted to add several posts in the Test Forum, so my passing the millenium would be kinda unnoticed, and I’d jump directly to, say, 1010! Then it slipped outta my simple mind. Sclerosis ?

Wow Zoob! You’re gonna overtake me by Friday! You’re posting two for every one of mine!
Time we had the graph analysis of posting frequency again. Last time Walden was accelerating away like a dragster! Now that was a funny thread!!
Congrats on your 1000th! I can now officially pass on the secret handshake, the double secret web address for the Millennium Club, and the triple secret
I guess as the mouthie bits are upside down, the carvings are there for when you have a cold
Now, have I got this right. Six holes, three mouthpieces, three fipples, three tubes of equal length? So you play tunes in three part unison … if it’s well built? What’s the point, or am I missing something? Is it a way of getting three shy people to get kinda snuggly on St Valentine’s day? Chiffy fippled troilism. Very French, n’est ce pas?
Oh, but I forget myself. In praising French ingenuity I forget to say, congratulations Zub on reaching your 1000. Many a memorable post amongst them too. Here’s to many more.
Congrats to Zoubard.
Intriguing instrument. My guess is that it’s a melody tube (oops!) in the middle, and a drone on either side: check out the hole on the side, if there’s one on the other side at a different length from the fipple, the drones would be playing two different notes.

Ah Roger, you take all the romance out of this. Why bother with three mouthpieces and fipples?
Ah, I’m forgetting: it’s for getting two drones and a songbird to snuggle up on St. Valentine’s day. Very ingenious and still kinky enough to be interesting.
It’s my 1950s Irish Catholic upbringing.
Come to think of it, maybe the instrument is meant for invoking the help of the Blessed Trinity (cue religion flame war).

After you’d said JMJ you’d kind of given the game away I think.

Actually that should be “Jesus, Mary and Joseph and all the saints in heaven”

This is some religion flame war. I’m off to bed!

Nah…that’s the Holy Family. Holy Trinity is Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
Hmmm…I wonder how St. Patrick’s Breastplate would sound on that thing?
Redwolf (aka “I survived Catholic school”)
Holy Moley. An embouchure stretching rack!
N, multitasking
“what is it about going to a catholic school that brout your grades up to an A from an F in regular school Billy? We can’t understand.”
(sniffling with watery eyes) “Well, the first day of school I saw that poor kid in the hall nailed to the plus sign (sniffle) and I knew they meant business!!!”
It’s a much longer story than that, but I broke it down for that reason.
Sorry to anyone that might be offended. Even though I’m slightly religous I have to admit I LMAO on that one.
Yours 'aye
John
