I used to see the masons trotting along to their meetings at the Connaught Rooms when I was working in London. This has set me wondering what instruments were lurking in those uniform black briefcases, along with the aprons and trowels. Too small to hold a bodhran (which would, of course, have explained the need for secrecy and anonymity)....kazoos, perhaps ? Anyone have any idea ?
