- Description
- "Locusts come in groups like the seven stars (the Pleiades). If you want to taste sugar cane you should eat it." Each player playes one flute only, except the treble who holds 3 loose pipes. The embouchure of the flutes is cut a double angle, the shorter side being pressed to the lower lip. The players stand in a circle and follow each others pipes after the fashion of bell ringers. The tuning was as follows:- 584, 520, 440, 392, 336, 292. Giving a pentatonic scale. The total range was just over two octaves. Pipe dance, with Viyanzi verticle flute, 2 fiction sticks (-12.61-) and tin rattles (-12.54-).
