Ah... improvisation made for the mere mortal! Something in a musical structure that I can understand, something musical...

For me it is more impressive to have someone improvising something like that rather than something that sounds like Messiaen on acid

Very nice, thanks for sharing

Thank you for the link - this is one of my favourite instruments - which I'm sorry to say I've never heard in the flesh. I actually made it to Würzburg one summer about 5 years ago and - short on German vocabulary for describing what I wanted to see - I was directed to the wrong place by one of the locals, visited the wrong church and left, not understanding why the Klais wasn't there! It wasn't until I got home a week or so later and looked at the map that I discovered that I'd walked in completely the wrong direction and ended up in what I think was the Fransiscan church! D'oh!

Very impressive improvisation on a very impressive instrument. One day I'll go back and hear it for myself...

Adam.
