THE CHADRULOPHONE !



This is a picture of the Chadrulophone. I had the idea it might be interesting to see what it might sound like if I stuck a saxophone mouthpiece in some kind of fruit or vegetable. Well, I couldn't get a proper seal with just the mouthpiece, so I had to use a soprano neck as well. It's featured in "Exodus".

In Italian, the word for "cucumber" is "cetriolo". In dialect, "chadrule" has another meaning, for which you may wish to ask an Italian friend or relative.
