Bass tuba?

I have a good question, but it has only a few hours shelf life remaining. So I’d like to win. But this objective is slightly hampered by my having no idea what the answer might be.

Owen already tried guessing that. He just spelled it idiosyncratically.

By liquorice stick I actually meant clarinet. Sorry, terrible joke.

The really 'out there' one is the Lambeg drum.

Viola is correct. Common enough in orchestral circles, but otherwise a bit uncommon.

Clarinet is a no.

Lambeg drum is a no. Still too esoteric (I've never heard of it).

Close enough, that's the common one. Everyone knows how to play piano, right?

Recorder it is. Tenor in my case, because I have hands large enough to manage. Alto and Soprano are small enough that just about anyone can reach. Bass uses keys, so again just about anyone can play it. Tenor requires large hands.

Since the official question was to find the unique-ish instrument, it is Owen's turn. But bonus points to Daniel and Derek.

Erm... OK.

Describe the stopper of the decanter in front of me.

Crystal?

No wait, too obvious. Round wood knob with a cork stopper?

What happened to your hair cut..?

It's a perfect sphere made of cork wrapped with aged leather.

Well it is a lozenge shaped stopper. And it is star cut. So I would say that a picture of the gherkin is about as near as I could hope to get.

Go Glen!

Hmm. This is a problem. I have no reasonable question, and I probably won't be online much over the weekend.

As of this writing, how many 750 ml bottle equivalents of 2011 VP do I currently have on order or already possess?
