ATM: Instrument identification needed

aging hippy's picture

Here's a rather wonderful version of After The Goldrush by Emmylou, Dolly and Linda.
My question is...What the hell is the guy at the back, on the right, playing? It looks like he's coaxing sounds out of a giant slug by gently massaging it.
Any ideas?

The Mellotron of the 1700's

Glass Harmonica

Although that giant slug idea sounds promising.

Thanks

Now I can go to bed not worrying about giant musical slugs.

Great video

Replaying 1:35 -- Emmylou Harris has the most beautiful eyes, you could go in there and never come out.

Sorry, no room...

...I've been in there since 1975.

My cat

is named Emmy as her eyes remind me of the other Emmy.
That is all. Carry on.

My initial thought

is that a redistribution of pies from Linda to Emmylou is needed.

Note how Linda's scarves

entirely distract us from her body mass.

(Edit - and how Dolly's body mass entirely distracts us from everything else, including breathing ...)

when was this recorded?

Seems a bit odd to update "1970s" to "20th century" in the lyrics when - if recorded in last 11 years then "21st century" would be more accurate and actually scan better.

Very nice though

From 1999's Trio II

In retrospect, they may as well have gone for '21st century'.
