"most folk musicians play instruments which are reasonably portable"

I just read that a cimbolom weighs 250 pounds. Each leg looks like a small tree trunk.

Now I know why every gyspy band seems to have a nebbishy-looking Czech guy who plays the bass. He helps move the cimbolom.

I'm sure it comes apart for easier, if not actually easy, transport.

Gweltas has been on her trip for a few days now. I wonder how she is faring and if she's found any good music.
