Title: One for the musicians
Post by: Michael Rolls on March 22, 2022, 10:44:16 PM

By chance, came across the late John Denver's 'Sunshine' track being played to a live audience. What intrigued me was one of the backing musicians. He was playing what looked like an over sized clarinet - but it seemed to be brass rather than woodwind, with a single reed clarinet style and the pitch and range of an alto sax - what might it have been?

The Sopranino sax might be what you're describing..
