Instrument-wise, I play zither, MacArthur harp (Pictures of both on the Mudcat photo album site) and guitar. Also misc stuff, eg piano and used to play violin, can play a dozen tunes on concertina but I don't own one. Can play rowdy stuff on a full-bass piano accordion.

The zither is great for Civil War stuff and parlor songs. The little harp is good for anything that I can sing in C that has no sharps or flats. It has a bouncy old-timey sound. The guitar, a very nice Martin D-28, is much too good for me but I refuse to part with it. (I do have a Gurian which I may have to part with, though.)
