That's a 1933 photo of the world renowned percussionist Mstislav Yakobovich with the Leutonian Philharmonic Orchestra playing the seldom heard composition "Yak Dance" by Antonin Kutcherpetzelov.

No matter how far you push the envelope, it is still stationery.

I'm sorry to be the one to correct you, and nitpick, but that performance is obviously Kutcherpetzelov's "Siberian Nights Without Yogurt" (c.1880), not "Yak Dance" as you presumed. This is a common mistake. Yes, Yakobovich performed both pieces with the LPO in the early '30s, and both pieces called for the 8-foot Schatskoya "Thunder Drum", but "Yak Dance" did not feature a harp which is clearly visable in this photo.

I don't mean to embarrass you, as you obviously know your 19th C. Russian folk music , but setting the record straight is what we do here on the VDF. ;)

Dang - don't want to be his Roadie.

And I believe the musical piece explanation does involve some part of the Yak indeed. (Cleanup on isle 3.) And I would not want to meet the creature that provided the skin for the head either.

Best imagination for a posting I have read in years. You both are full blown BS artists. Congrats.

:DThank you, but how else can you respond to such an absurd picture? This 8'x1' bass was obviously custom made, so we really can't discuss make/model/year etc. as we usually do. Of course, someone's bound to prove me wrong and show a catalog photo describing the 8' diameter as a factory option. I know I've seen those spade-shaped plate/lugs before though. Can't remember who used them. Bet Mike C would know. Thanks for that OP. I'm saving it in my "One-of-a-Kind" folder.
