by it being monterey, it is is most likely moroteuthis, as this large squid is known to be native there

Probably right, I was also wondering whether I could get a better source for this particular pic.

Moroteuthis? Where? :heee:
I can't actually open that article - I've tried several times. Any chance of sneakily posting the pic here? :roll:

Hello Olaf,

That picture was posted earlier (by some reprobate) as "175lb Giant Squid," here:

Here's a quick link to the source site:

Cheers,

That's a great help Adam, so it IS Archi :grin:

Has the snow gone by now?

That's what I get for assuming the pic had something to do with the article.

Castor, quick, violins in the background, now!!!

:boohoo: This is the best I could do on such short notice!

Unless you like the cello (named Lenore).
<----

Chello's even better... AND Lenore has perfect curves...

I got your violins right here damnit

Q: How do you achieve perfect pitch with a violin?

A(1): Throwing it in the toilet without hitting the rim.
A(2): Sell it and buy a cello. (My personal favorite)
:lol:

Q: why should you never say any violin jokes?

A: you never kno when we hide a gun in our case. :wink:

:boohoo: :goofysca:

Sax and violins?

Q: What's the difference between a violin and a viola?
A: The're actually the same - the violin just looks smaller compared to the violinist's head. :roll:

(As a string-bassist myself... )

well, its good to know there so many other musicians on tonmo.com.

What's all the hostility towards violinists??? Not all of us are prima donnas...

No, to get that you need tenors.....(speaking from the perspective of an over-the-hill coloratura)

We know that you guys aren't, we just realize that you are (first chair) next inline to tell the rest of us what to do, and how to do it. I know you all have a baton in your cases. :wink:

you, know, i always did think it isn't fair that the principle cello player nevr gets to be concertmaster, even if they are the best musician in the orchestra. but what would i know, being a 1st violin?

and i've never seen a thread get so off topic just from a single comment about violins.

Anda watsa wronga witha da Tenors, eh?!

Egos!

Gotta me'a there'a :wink:

Of course, we sopranos are totally devoid of same!:wink:

Ah!!! Qué bella!! Soprano!! Opera?

Yep! Back in the dark ages. I currently sound like an angry toad.

I must admit, not all tenors are pains in the A****, some are really good colleagues. And some, unfortuntely, are not. Names will not be named.

I'm a lazy tenor, really, also known as a baritone :grin:

We won't ask, as I'm sure you won't tell, but a hint might not hurt.:wink:

Hey, don't knock it! Placi was a baritone too, until he got hired as a tenor, and it hasn't hurt him much! :grin:

Placi's OK, although Jose i.m.h.o. takes the biscuit: he may have the "smallest" voice of the big three, but ever since Missa Creola, I've got a major soft spot for the guy...

Jose has a much "sweeter" voice, and I love his work, but Placi's Othello is the most amazing performance I can imagine.

Hmm, I'm more an Iago kinda guy. He has the best lines. Villains always do.

just give me the *%$*$*% fiddle so i can play devil went down to georgia!!!

poor lil squidder

I feel so alone being a wind instrument player...:smile:

I started with a soprano sax, played oboe, all the clarinets right down to the octocontra bass, the rest o the saxes and flute. You are not alone.

you've played octocontra! I've only ever seen a contra...
yeah, I started on clarinet, then flute, then bassoon, then oboe...and then got into renaissance instruments (shawm, kortholt, recorder,...rackett...)
funny, I've been too busy to ever drop any of them...:roll:

It was totally ridiculous. There was no reason our high school band and orchestra needed it. It was band director one-up-manship, pure and simple. That stupid thing was bigger than I was, and the only reason that I was the one who played it, was that I was the only one who could sight read and transpose whatever piece of music they put in front of me. I loved the oboe, but the better I got at it, the worse my sinus headaches got. Later on, in college, I learned a bunch of other instruments, like all music majors do, but I played a dozen instruments by the time I graduated from high school. Unfortunate, really, because I was adequate on all of them, but never really terrific on any of them.

Shall we rename the threadtitle? "Crumhorn to Steiner's EWI"?
