(Not) Official Serpent

Yes, it's a real instrument. descended from the cornett, and a distant ancestor of the tuba, with a mouthpiece like a brass instrument but side holes like a woodwind.

Huge pet peeve in video games is when you can’t hold your breath underwater for very long or it takes a good while to regain your breath above water. Unrealistic. Like my condolences to the devs for your lack of breath support but that just could not be me…

new instrument idea

[classical-crap]

music history book: this instrument fell out of favor in the late 18th century because it was incredibly cumbersome, required four people to play, and had a tone nearly indistinguishable from that of a constipated whale. its successor was the tuba.

my dumb instrument-collecting ass: hmmmm I wonder if I can find one on ebay

[classical-crap]

anyway what I’m saying is I bought a lira da braccio
