This is me playing Toccata et Fugue in D Minor by Bach. It's also from "The Phantom of the Opera 1962". It was difficult to keep time and move up and down the bench at the same time so I took shots of myself and recorded the tune later. Enjoy!(more)(less)

I don't often come across instruments in the key of high A. Rarely do I find appeal in them either as they are almost inevitably shrill whiny things that do not display depth and complexity to their acoustics.
This mago by Banyawarra, in contrast, is stellar. For a high A, it has incredible acoustic complexity and character. Its voice has a crisp precision and clarity that is rare in any key. This mago without a doubt is the best A key we've ever had.
This mago benefits additional from high back pressure which allows a player to play with ease. It also has tremendous power and loudness. A little screamer it is!
Also worth mentioning is the totally natural bore, termite-eaten throughout. The mouthpiece end is perfectly sized and shaped, with the bore gradually increasing in size until you reach the bell end which is voluminous and clear. 'Tis a freak of nature this Stringybark!
Take a listen here and let us know if this is the best A you have heard!
