<DIV>Hello,</DIV>
<DIV>It sounds like a pair of britches that have extra thick material over the
behind that poofs out to look like a sack. I would assume that the wearer has a
pair of draw strings they can pull to increase or decrease the resonant in the
chamber. That way the performer’s built in horn can send out the sound waves and
create amplification and pitch, kind of like a kazoo.</DIV>
<DIV>I think this instrument died out because despite the extreme skill of the
players, even the best performers still stunk.</DIV>
<DIV>Thanks,</DIV>
