can you accept that my title "Instruments of (or closely associated with) England" doesn't say that these instruments are not associated with any other nation?

Those of us who love folk music (call it what you will) generally do so with an appreciation of the inherent cultural diversity / continuity of such matters without paying too much heed to the sort of frontiers that are so much a part of The WAV Approach - the above aberration notwithstanding of course which would appear to give to the lie to most everything he's said on the matter hitherto. What gives, WAV?

Meanwhile, in an attempt to tie up the various strands of this thread thus far (London Derriere and all) here's Granma McAlatia posing with England's National Musical Instrument, though one suspects she might have been abroad at the time. Yes, WAV, other countries have bells too. Time, methinks, to ring the changes...
