has gloss | eng: The lasso damore is an experimental musical instrument made of corrugated plastic tubing, employed in some of Peter Schickeles comic P. D. Q. Bach compositions such as the Erotica Variations. Schickele gives a tongue-in-cheek explanation of the instrument's evolution: Viennese cowboys twirled "their lariats over their heads with such great speed that a musical pitch was produced. ... The modifications that had made this development possible rendered [the lasso] useless for roping cattle." |
