Thread Name: Basque Stickdropping music?
Subject: RE: Basque Stickdropping music?
Besides the one in my livingroom, the only other txalaparta in N. America is at the Basque Cultural Center in Reno. (As far as we know.)
It weighs over 300#, has 13 planks (some of iron and stone) and was donated to the Center by Ugarte Aniak, a great txalaparta duo. They discovered it was less expensive to build one in the U.S. for their concert than to ship one over and back from Spain!
