Thread Name: England's National Musical-Instrument?
Subject: RE: England's National Musical-Instrument?
Tonight we're going to Brook known as Mellor.
We're playing some folk stuff for a feller
One of our instruments is a recorder
Most of them aren't and I'll put them in order

One is a flute that is silver and shiny
One is a fiddle that's stringy and whiny
One is a cajon that from cuba comes
And on it, e.g., some of the players sit on their bums
One is a mouth organ well played by rose
We haven't got a flute played by nose
One is a bass that is resonant and low
One's a bouzouki from Ireland you know
Our caller plays a mandolin
tear drop shape like a terrapin
One is a concertina made by Lachenal
Who could be a Frenchman or perhaps e.g., a French gal
One's a melodeon made in Italy
We call it a banf but would you call it folk?
