Thread Name: England's National Musical-Instrument?
Subject: RE: England's National Musical-Instrument?
Immigration/emigration the world over is, of course, regulated - I'm saying it should be more strongly regulated.

"Incidentally, your opening shot in this thread" (Pip)

"It's not difficult to find, e.g., the national instrument of, e.g., Wales or Scotland - triple-harp and highland-pipes, respectively" (me)

"is a statement of quite staggering ignorance. (There's no continuous tradition of triple-harp making or playing in Wales - and there's a lot more to Scotland than the Highlands.) You know next to nothing, WAV, and yet you insist on not learning." (Pip)...perhaps some Scots and Welsh may post as to who is showing "staggering ingnorance" (Pip) here...
