Whilst playing a gig a well known pub on the Island of Sark last week. I came across a poster advertising the posh lot (Sark Music society) Ensemble Bash Listing,
Drums, xylophone, dun-dun, marimba, and vibraphone,

now I think I know what a Marimba is, but what the hell is a dun-dun.

By the way in between bad jokes I am also looking for my book "Instruments of the World" (unite! you have nothing to lose but your keys). If I can find it I'll write back.

Soph, in that case it wouldn't it be the ding-ding of the dun-dun for the din-din?

(Poet, obviously we don't have a clue!)

They don't hypnenate either spelling, Kat. But I guess something probably gets lost in the translation either way. Actually I like it better as the first two notes of the theme from Dragnet.
