This instrument is designed and built by Tony Salinas (J.A.Martin Salinas) and has an octave range with 96 conic bells (2mm steel spun on a lathe) tuned to the 96 equal temperament, even though the conic bells can be tuned from 5 to 240 notes per octave. The maximum range for they can cover is 2 octaves and a fifth with angled extensions of the stands (for the required tuning).

Steve Altoft has a trumpet with a quartertone valve which was required for the composition. Steve plays with the duo contour with the percusionist playing the conic bellophone, Lee Ferguson. Bozidar Vukotic the London based Russian Cellist player was very precise! The contemporary trombonist Allan Tomlinson enjoyed the continuous glissandi and requested a solo piece. The Italian bass clarinetist Guido Arbonelli gave me a live lesson on playing multiphonics, and I had time to rearrange the piece. The Timpanist Matthew West had incredible sightreading skills. Many thanks to Lewis Jones, my main research supervisor, who conducted at 60 b.p.m. with great control over the players. Also many thanks to my ttutor in composition Javier Garavaglia.

Wim has a 96 equal temperament guitar (1/4 tone frets and 6 E strings 1/16 of a tone appart). They played an amazing ascending chromatic scale (range of an octave) using the 96 notes in unison with the help of the bottle neck. They performed chromatic zig-zag exercises in unison covering the full range of the octave. They also played a duet I wrote for 96 equal temperament guitar and bellophone. These materials are really worthy waiting for the video to be edited! Wim also performed a piece by Pascal Criton (who was in the audience) for the same guitar.

He took the instrument back to Germany, and we hope to hear about his performances with the conic bellophone around in the future.[[image:http://photos-c.ak.facebook.com/photos-ak-sf2p/v113/106/91/696302104/n696302104_227562_5825.jpg link="http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=227563&id=696302104"]] From the percussionist's point of view.
