Razbelly frowned. "It says it's Greco-Roman! Perhaps that's more on the inside."

Sporting the only octobass in the world, one wonders what that is? An octopi banging on drums, perhaps? Alas, no, it's a large bass, similar to the normal bass, but bigger! Created in 1850, it's an antique to behold (and hear!)
