Yup, nylon-strung Spanish/classical-style guitars, and bowl-back mandolins.

Some of the most evoctaive Corries sounds were from the couple of songs they'd so with just the bodhrans. Ronnie played this Huuuuge big FO bodhran which was covered with the skin of an entire mutant sheep.

"I will go", "Sherriffmuir", "Cam ye oer fae France" were all presented in this way and still send a chill down my spine after all these years.

Cheers
