    Guica, Waldteufel (it's a name of a bird), and lion roar belong to the same instrument family:
    a construction where a skin is "rubbed" with a piece of cord.
    The lion roar is the bass instrument.

    Later on there will be exact descriptions in our "Instruments Online"


    In the meantime you can hear a short example:

    Fantastic!

    I can't wait to hear the Cuica (how many different versions of the spelling are there? I've seen a few) - I'm guessing that this is the same instrument that makes an 'ooh-eeh-ooh' noise? I think there's one at the end of Williams' 'Phantom Menace' score (in the parade).

    I'm packing away my sticks as we speak...

    Lion Roar - Listen to Edgar Varese - he uses it, eg. 'Ameriques'
    which by the way is one of my favorite pieces. [:D]

    I was just thinking « What composer could use that ‘Lion rooooaaar’ »

    Thanks for the answer before I post...

    Verese, of course.

    What Verese didn’t use, anyway ?

    (except, ‘spoon on dishes’ maybe...)

    I see in the list : ‘Sirenes’... I supose Varese has been playing in Vienna... It will be easy to do a Varese transcription whit VSL...


    (No spoon on dishes in the vienna percussion stock, herb ?)

    Sidenote to Herb (and everybody else, of course): The ominous "Schellenkranz" is a more or less trivial Tambourine, AFAIK :-]

    "Sidenote to Herb (and everybody else, of course): The ominous "Schellenkranz" is a more or less trivial Tambourine, AFAIK :-"

    You're very close, dietz [:D]
    In fact it's a tambourine without skin (we'll use the term "tambourine jingle" in Instruments Online).
