[Dixielandjazz] The Aulochrome

[Steve barbone]

Now all you Sop Sax players can double the torture. A new version called the
AULOCHROME is available.

"The Aulochrome, a chromatic Aulos, is a new polyphonic and chromatic
woodwind instrument. It resembles two soprano saxophone bodies and uses a
revolutionary mechanism, allowing the keys of both pipes to be played either
separately or together over the entire range. Thus any possible interval can
be played chromatically from the lowest note of one pipe to the highest note
of the other pipe. The double mouthpiece is made of two separate elements
placed together. The tone chambers are different, enabling independent
harmonization in the two pipes."

Just think, when budgets are tight, you can have a trio using only two
players.
