I heard (I think on Travelling Folk) a snippet of Aly Bain and Ale
Moller playing together last week. At one point, Aly played one
of my favourite tunes, Da Day Dawn, with Ale introducing it on
what he described as a cow horn. If I remember right he only played
the first half (plagal A dorian,
I have seen him play it. It appeared to be
controlled by mouth-shape rather than fingering
holes. It looked like the Jewish *shofar*, which is a
trumpet made from a ram's horn, and, similarly, has no
holes.

Anybody seen him do this live? What sort of
instrument is it?
