If I was to play the mending song, it would most likely be on a mandolin. Or a fiddle. Badly.

I've never worked out any leveryorganyinstruments. I just used littlecharliemouse a very long time ago on msn after a train of events involving a sidmouth festival, a Sandra Kerr concert, a greogrian chant workshop, & application of our new found gregorian chant skills to a tune. The tune being the mending song.
