Michael, I believe that when "young people" hear the "traditional" sounds of Scots & Irish music, most fall in love with them. Thus, it would be foolish to stray from the traditional instruments that make up these wonderful sounds. I would always encourage experimentation with any music, but that doesn't mean I have to listen to it. I doubt that anything will change (in a popular way)to the traditonal instrumentation of Irish and Scottish music.
