If you had a musical instrument made out of squirrels - how would you tune it?

It all depends, are they Red or Grey ones? lol

10 Apr 2008

It would depend on how you were going to play them.I do know that my squirrel glockenspiel took many weeks of drying, stretching, and shaving tiny pieces off each squirrel to tune.
Now I'm off to play my mouse organ

we will fix it, we will mend it...

edit: of course, this means we can learn to play the Bagpuss as well!
a propper animal band

The squirrels are grey of course - can't touch the lovely little red ones. And they all play flat anyway.

Well i have to say i must agree with you,this most def one of your maddest conversations,there has been many a night where i have shared the sofa whilst you and your son have had one of your many conversations about the strangest of things,
And i sit there with a look of total bewilderment and i i need to see a doctor? as i feel i'm in a parallel universe.
But the thing that is scaring me the most is the fact that i'm getting drawn into your mad conversations now
So the question of the moment is
How Do You Tune A Squirrel ? :D:D:D:D:D:D

I believe that this is the correct way to get a tune out of a dead squirrel (freshly deceased ones play best):
1. Take the squirrel and hold it around the neck with your left hand.
2. Place it's little pointy mouth between your lips (that's face lips ladies... this isn't Amsterdam!)
3. Take it's tail with your right hand and, as you start to blow , elongate the squirrel to varying lengths to attain the musical notes required.
4. Due to the diet of the grey squirrel the first few notes may be a little... er... smelly!
Once experience is achieved, squirrels can be tied together and played in a 'Pan Pipe' configuration.
Apparently, Patrick Moore, the famous astronomer, was an accomplished "Squirrel Stroker".... even able to play the squirrel reversed.

Oh thats the easy bit. Trouble is, the ones Ive caught have always been a bit dead by the time Ive realised Ive 'happened' upon them.
Ok so Im a squirrel murderer, I didnt mean to run over the poor thing, it just happened to jump under my front wheel, mu lud. I was traumatised for months :cry:
Oh and Aquilo, that avatar is creepy :scared:
