brummigThank you. I made the recording with a Tascam DR-07, set to record a 24bit PCM file using the built-in stereo microphone. I then used Audacity to prepare it for upload as an MP3.
soundmapThat's a good, detailed-sounding recording, what equipment did you use please?
soundmapMany thanks as ever, your recording's now on the UK Soundmap.
ermineThis was a percussion instrument made after a wild food walk from some stems of Alexanders that were very definitely past their best for eating. The stems are hollow and different lengths give some sort of tonality to the different notes. More details on http://www.the-oak-tree.co.uk/blog/2011/05/wild-food-walk/ and Alexanders are described here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexanders
