Mike: Thanks for posting that link. Very interesting.
By the way, bagpipes are all polyphonic. Organs are all polyphonic. There are many folk wind instruments that are polyphonic, usually with two or three parallel tubes. Sometimes one is used as a drone, but often the holes are arranged for chords. If you continue with the idea of wind instruments, they make chord harmonicas, dual recorders, and I've even seen a dual trumpet. Anyway, polyphonic wind instruments are not at all unusual in the Far East, Indonesia, Central Africa, and were very common in Europe in days of yore. |

| when i first saw this I thought it was a Sho, which is a traditional Japanese instrument used in Japanese Gagaku music. Although it doesn't sound like any Sho I ever heard. |
