I was expecting something else. We have a standing joke around here.

1st:"What key is it in"
2nd:"L"
1st:"The key of L?"
2nd:"Well, it sure sounds like L to me"

That's pretty badass! Is that the new champion or is there something out there lower?

There has never been a diatonic in such a key, not even close to that. So that's some completely "unexplored territory". I've gotta learn a brand new type of articulation now LOL.

This thing feels alive in the hands when it vibrates. The low reeds 1+3 draw sound like a bowed cello when amplified.

I can say that it's the most difficult project I've made so far.

:-) Very nice! How much hours went in to that beast?

Could you post a sound clip when playing that thing amplified?
