Thread Name: What instruments do catters play?
Subject: RE: What instruments do catters play?
Well, I can now update my list from last year, but no additions.

I, too, play my voice. I like that phrase! I love ballads. I sang "I Wonder As I Wander" at the Midnight Mass at Church on Christmas Eve. A Capella(sp?)I love singing. :)
I'm also teaching myself to play the harp. I have many tin whistles, flutes, a really wonderful little zither named Sophie, an accordian, autoharp, mandolin, trumpet, clarinet and probably more. I have to cut my collection, though, and I hope the ones I decide not to move go to good homes. (I'm getting married in Oct. We're supposed to be singing the vows. :)

I had two Pakistani harps, and now have an old unknown maker wire strung, which has the nicest tone I've ever heard.

I see these instruments at fleamarkets and antique shows, and feel sorry for them and have to buy them. I have to quit doing that.

My goal with cleaning out the collection is if I'm not going to play it, sell it to someone who will. Getting married isn't cheap!*grin*
