GUEST,erictheorange	Easiest instrument to learn (54* d)	Easiest instrument to learn	06 Oct 06
I'm looking for a new instrument to play for Morris dancing (I already play Anglo Concertina, Guitar, Mandolin, Baritone Uke and a bit of whistle), and I'd appreciate suggestions as to which instrument to learn. My criteria are as follows... Must be easily portable Must be acoustic Must be able to carry a tune so I can play it solo for the dancers Must be reasonably loud so the dancers can hear it Must sound somewhat different to the instruments I can already play Must be relatively cheap (upto a few hundred pounds/euros/dollars) Does not have to be "traditional" Most importantly I'm looking for which instrument that meets these criteria is the simplest & quickest to learn. All (polite) suggestions will be much appreciated eto
