I've been watching the HBO show "Boardwalk Empire" lately, which is set in 1920s Prohibition-era Atlantic City, and they've had several scenes set in a dance hall with a band in a reverse orchestra pit (in a balcony up near the rafters as opposed to below the stage). One instrument they use is something I've never seen before and I was wondering if anyone knows what it is: it looks like and is played like a standard violin but there's a big trumpet-like brass bell attached to it that extends up over the neck of the instrument. Seems like some kind of string/brass hybrid thingy.
Anyone have a clue? _______________________________________________ Finale mailing list Finale@shsu.edu http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
