I believe the venue at the centre of Syd's triptych may be the salon of a dirigible?
I thought that it could be the salon of the Titanic... No neither - it was built upon terra firma and indeed somewhere in Britain. |

I feel obliged to point out that any answers I have given were obtained legitimately from the cerebral residue of my mis-spent youth or by occasional googling. When I've found it out by right-clicking I've kept my gob shut.

Perhaps it would be more interesting to force contestants to identify the sounds of these instruments, rather than their pictures? This might also help discourage furtive methodology |

Well, it would but it could be damn tricky. An Australian chalumeau player and I had to agree to disagree about the instrument actually being used on the naïve recording of Juditha triumphans. I reckon it's a chalumeau. He doesn't. He's actually playing the piece later on this year - maybe he'll see reason by then |

Blimey, you turn your back.. and another couple of Australian chalumeau-players have popped up! Perhaps you could start a self-help group? Things have come to a pretty pass when you can't agree if your own instrument is being played, eh? Perhaps they were economising, and it's one of those green Chinese plastic clarinets with a very, very hard reed tied-on with string? ) My bro - who rents/tunes harpsichords as a sideline to playing "early woodwind" - got into a similar discussion recently, when listening to a recording of a show for which he'd supplied and tuned a big double-manual jobbie. "There y'go, good eh? A nice bit of bite on the chords despite all the fiddles you've got?" he cried. "Actually, we didn't know how to tell you this, but no-one could hear the harpsichord in all that din, so we stuck a Roland in after the Dress Rehearsal" they confessed.... |

4. HOW are the three photographs connected? Wild guesses are welcome and indeed encouraged. Theosophy, spiritualism, cribbage tournaments and Puccini performances in railway waiting rooms are among the themes swilling around my mind to no satisfactory conclusion. Perhaps a tiny clue, Mr Grew? |

Theosophy, spiritualism, cribbage tournaments and Puccini performances in railway waiting rooms are among the themes swilling around my mind to no satisfactory conclusion. Perhaps a tiny clue, Mr Grew? The salon of a dirigible: no. The salon of the Titanic: no. Theosophy: not as far as we know. Spiritualism: not at the time of any of these photographs, although it does enter the story at a more recent date. Cribbage tournaments: no, not to our knowledge. Puccini performances: yes, very probably.Railway waiting rooms: indeed one although unpictured does play a prominent part. The Crystal Palace: no. (Mr. Garnett cast a wide net and for that reason has as might have been predicted had two bites. We suspect he with the railway waiting room is already onto something.) Clue 1: photographs 2 and 3 were taken somewhere in the British Isles. Clue 2: Some Members may find it odd that Herr Thorheit has not identified one of the photographs, but admittedly it is not a good likeness. Clue 3: It would be easier we think to begin by concentrating on the two personages rather than on the room. All that should provide an ample sufficiency of clues for to-day. |
