Thank you Mudcat for this forum. So Jeez-Louise, where do I start?
My wife and I have been taking Scandanavian dance lessons and the music with the dance is marvelous. The social dances always feature musician groups which have at least two violenists carrying melody with accompanying guitar, flute, or even recorder. There are some free reed tunes I've heard on recordings but no mention made as to what the instrument was. I'm looking to purchase a free reed instrument that will be able to give me that'sound' and have decided that it must be either an English or Duet. There's down time at work some days so to practise an instrument would be a great use of time. I also have a new grandson who just loves music...he rocks to almost any tune and he's only a year old and I want to play for him as well! Any advice?
