Caitrin: (Then I'd better duck if I tell anyone here I like Meatloaf!)

Other instruments I really love, but do not play, are the hurdy-gurdy (drones stretch the heartstrings), the bodrhan (how can such a simple looking instrument have so many voices?), and the cello. A long time ago, I had the chance to take cello lessons for several months, but found that I couldn't for the life of me make a tune on it. It was wonderful, nonetheless, to draw the bow and feel the hugged instrument vibrate in my arms. I am content to love them all from afar for now...it is difficult enough to find time for the many instruments I already own or borrow.
