I saw this when it aired last weekend and I agree, the production was wonderful. However, I am convinced it was not an actual serpent playing the music. Rather, it was a tuba player trying to crack attacks and play out of tune to simulate a serpent sound. Pretty good attempt, I might add, but I thought the sound was too full to be a real serpent. The ones I've heard are very thin sounding and have a funny buzzing quality to the sound that I didn't hear in the soundtrack. Great stuff!
