Hi all

Since black walnut has joined the 'Cat and mentioned in the Mudcat IQ thread that she plays the harp I just thought I'd take a head count of all the 'Catters who play anything harp-like, i.e.anything with more than 12 strings (is that a simple enough categorisation?). I can think of harpgirl and Ferrara, and someone else plays the autoharp - can't think who it is right now. And Jen used to drop in here, and Siobhan but I haven't seen them here for quite a while.

What other instruments count in the More Strings Than Most category? I have seen a bandura years ago at Oz folk festivals and I know someone who has a lyre (not *is* a liar *BG*). But what have I forgotten? I think you know that I don't mean pianos, here guys. Oh yes, hammered dulcimers, of course.

So, what do you think? A little 'Cat-harp sub-group?
