You could attach a different bell to your dog's collar every day.

[Ugly Nora]

That's actually a good idea. That way I will hear him when he inevitably comes to kill me in my sleep someday.

[Chankgeez]

I think he just wants to play.

Dudes, I found this video of this sexy Scottish granny playin' some percussion.

She's got some good stuff on her channel here:

Thanks for posting, I subscribed to her channel. This is why I love this place. There is a real sense of community here. People helping people. I dig it.

Didja see the size of that pot gong on the left?

This chick is the real deal too:

Ellen Fullman is fantastic - Her Staggered Stasis CD is well worth getting hold of.

There's a clip here:

Sweet. I just picked that cd up for $6.78 shipped. Plus got another one she did with Philip Blackburn called Ghostly Psalms for $5.99 shipped, and a Philip Blackburn solo album for $5.92 shipped. I would be fool to pass up those prices. Thanks for the validation.

I would like some of them, but not 4 sets.

Do we Hammered Dulcimer yet or nah?

Do we Hammered Dulcimer yet or nah?

I would LOVE a hammered dulcimer. Theres a dude on etsy than makes miniature ones, US only though, shipping to UK was something insane like $200

Do we Hammered Dulcimer yet or nah?

I wouldn't mind having one, but it is not high up on my list of wants.

I'm tempted to buy a Dilruba. I am concerned about having to tune so many strings though as I hate tuning strings. I prefer playing out of tune instruments usually, but for something like this I think it will need to be in tune to get the most bang out of it with the sympathetic strings and so on and so forth.

These things are great I bought some for my son when he was five or six, and we beat them into the kitchen floor (it is linoleum over concrete) and I dangled two microphones nearby, one went into a delay and the other went in clean and recorded the messy noise - it was great fun, really got him into wanting to play with instruments... luckily he opted for guitars over percussion or our neighbours would've killed us by now! Hmmm if it wasn't 1AM I'd get our set out again, haven't looked at them in years...
