Middle East music
Dec 4 2011, 2:09 AM EST
The music you hear in a few episodes, especially those involving Israeli Mossad and Ari Aswari in Reville, are from the Armenian Duduk instrument. It is a double reed instrument, found on youtube searches, and was the music played in the opening scene of Warner Bros Harry Potter Deatly Hallows part 2. BTW, it was the ONLY time that the "Hedwig theme" was not played at the start of the movie. It lends a sort of erie atmoshphere to the movies.

I am always amazed at the depth and variety of the knowledge of NCIS fans on this site. 1 out of 1 found this valuable. Do you? |

You're welcome! A few years back I was a Deputy and worked a lot of forensics during my tenure. I'm also pretty well up on firearms and shooting having built a few rifles. That bullet that Ducky pulled out of Pedro Hernandes is not from a .338 Lapua Magnum. One, they had just come out with a few rifles in that year this was supposed to have happened, and, the bullet part of the .338 Lapua is a rather long torpedo shape and more than likely would have penetrated clear though the skull exploding the head (as in no head left) and went through the door on the other side and end up in the dirt on the opposite side of the pickup. They are useful for shooting large dangerous animals because of the terminal effectivness and for sniper useage. However, it wasn't until several years after Pedro was shot that they would have started using this rifle for such purpose.Looked more like a pistol bullet than a rifle bullet, but props and set experts are not always handy at gettig things quite right. Now, the question bears asking... was it "really" a pistol bullet? Do you find this valuable? |
