This is a small 16-striong gut strung instrument based on the Anglo-Norman (Romanesque?!) harps one sees frequently illustrated in Medieval manuscripts.

Subject: RE: How many instruments do you own? From: Harmonium Hero Date: 25 Oct 12 - 01:21 PM Al & Phil: ROFLMAO, or something... Here's a strange thing: if you have books full of used postage stamps, it's called a collection; a cellar full of wine at £500 a sip, it's a collection; barn full of cars... a collection; a room given over to pictures of Elvis...you guessed ...a collection. You can collect match boxes, buttons, theatre programmes, toenail clippings, and I once heard of a girl who collected split ends. But if you have more than three musical instruments, it's called Instrument Acquisition Syndrome. They just don't understand, do they? I'll get around to listing mine when I've got half an hour to spare. John Kelly. |

Subject: RE: How many instruments do you own? From: GUEST,highlandman at work Date: 26 Oct 12 - 02:45 PM Lessee... 6 guitars, Clavinova, homebrew practice electronic "pipe" organ, bagpipes, Appalachian dulcimer, bodhran, melodica. I think that covers it. Not counting the innumerable penny whistles, practice bagpipe chanters, hand drums, bamboo flutes, blocks and triangles and sticks and such that are always tumbling out of closets and floating to the top of sock drawers.... No, 7 guitars if you count the Fender bass.... then again one of the guitars is Mrs Highlandman's and another is my son's, so that's down to 5. Oh, there's a fretless Romanian lute and some incomprehensible cane fiddle thing downstairs as well. I tend to forget those because I can't play them. And my son has a violin (or fiddle, I forget which). And then there's all the pieces of instruments... If these were the only things I accumulated, my house would be neat. -G |
