"Elephants in the Thai jungle playing specially designed musical instruments. The elephants improvise the music themselves. The Thai Elephant Orchestra was co-founded by Richard Lair of the Thai Elephant Conservation Center in Lampang and performer/composer Dave Soldier. Half of the profits go to the Conservation Center. The first CD Thai Elephant Orchestra includes a twelve page color booklet that details the beginning of the project and features the orchestra's first performances."
