Well, I have the jester's outfit... but a squeezebox? shudder <g>

Sorry, Daerlynn. Don't have any of the items you requested.

But I'll promise I will return all hugs and at least 75% of all tips that are accidentally given to her instead of you. And one of these days, we really need to give folks a class in comparative biology...

>Is there anything in Elanthia which resembles a cello?

I am not sure a squeezebox in the realms off the top of my head, but I would say that at least the lyra viol is close to a cello.

***************************************
From http://www.vdgsa.org/pgs/stuff.html :

A viol is a bowed string instrument. Similar to the cello, the viol, or viola da gamba, is played between the legs (hence the name 'viola da gamba', literally 'leg-viol'). While it is not a direct ancestor of the violin, there is some kinship between the two instrument families.

Some of the different viol sizes include:
Pardessus (high treble)
Treble
Alto
Small tenor
Tenor
Bass
Violone (contrabass)

Only the treble, tenor and bass viols were regular members of the consort.

Some of the bass-pitched viols were specially tailored for particular repertoires:

Division Viol: An English form of bass viola da gamba, used in the 17th century for performing free ornamentation by varying given melodies. It was the equivalent of the European viola bastarda, and was smaller than a consort bass viol but larger than a lyra viol.

Lyra viol: A small bass viol popular in England during the 17th century. It differed otherwise little from the standard bass viol. Its repertory, notated in tablature, is pre-dominantly polyphonic and played mainly with the bow. The sources include pieces for one lyra viol or more, and lyra viol accompaniment for songs, by composers such as Coprario, Jenkins, William Lawes and Tobias Hume. At least 60 different tunings have been noted.

Viola bastarda: An Italian 16th and 17th century term for a small bass viol, the continental equivalent of the English Division Viol.
******************************

For my purposes, it's close enough. And if there is no IG equivalent to the squeezebox, I will still show in my song that you are using one. The music is already written.

So far, I have Jastima on one of the violin parts, Eleneri on possibly the cello part if she can find an instrument, and Roboson on however he can help! ::smiles:: Shavay, were you actually interested or not? The jester needs to be the squeezebox player, unfortunately.

I will also need chorus members, but I was gonna use whoever was there at the concert for that!

Thanks, everyone.

It doesn't really resemble a cello, but a bandoura is at least sorta cello-sized... it's an instrument in like Lithuanian folk music or something, but it looks more like a giant mandolin or something.

Might want to try something else, as the Bandoura is played with a pick rather than with a bow (depending on the style of play she wants)

Miach points at you.
Miach nods to Xandesa.
Xandesa says, "how Toggishly romantic"

All of thos would work!! If you could get them to me IG sometime prior to 10/2 so I can update my song, I would appreciate it!

And I will give them back!! Promise!! (Why do you think I am asking for help now?!! ::grins:: )

Thank you!
