Thread Name: What instruments do catters play?
Subject: RE: What instruments do catters play?
I'm glad this didn't ask what you play well. I play strings and more recently percussion:
Strings:
Guitar (mostly slide, mostly blues)
Mandolin
Banjo
Oud
Percussion:
Darbuka
Riqq
Dholak
Madal
Bongos
I've also got a fiddle which is an effective torture instrument in my hands. Also Tabla drums, but I underestimated the skill needed to play these well! I may come back to them one day. Riqq is a new instrument to me, but I'm amazed how versatile they are. The Oud is also fairly new, but I love how expressive and moody they are. Banjo though is the "desert island" instrument for me...
