[Dixielandjazz] Mercy Mercy Mercy OKOM?

[Ron L'Herault]

I purposely included that plural for the euphonii to stir things up.

Listmates,

Ron asks regarding the Cell Block 7 use of double bell euphoniums:

>I'm curious about the double bell Euphonium trio.  Is that the Euphonium
>plus one other horn, one and a half Euphonia or three of the beasties?

Right off I notice we are using different plurals for the word "euphonium."
Anybody wanna weigh in on this important question?

The trio is composed of three (count 'em - 3) silver double bell euphoniums.
That a total of 6 bells.

Of course you can only play one of the two bells at any given time so
basically you have three bells in operation at a time.

Bob Romans . . . do you want to say any more about this?

Respectfully submitted,
