It’s hard to believe how good an octave mandolin you get for so low a price, but this one makes amazing music and is within almost any budget. The flatback teardrop body is made of walnut, and the top of spruce. It has a somewhat smaller size and shorter scale than many octave mandolins, thus making it easier to hold and finger. 31” long.

Erhu

The Huqin is a family of Chinese bowed instruments that became popular during the Sung dynasty, circa 960-1279 AD. Bowed instruments were likely invented in Central Asia and Mongolia, and the name huqin means “foreign instrument”. The various sizes have a long neck, 2 strings tuned in 5ths, and a snakeskin resonator. The bow is placed between the pair of strings and rosined on both sides of the hair. They are played with a wide variety of virtuosic techniques, and have a tone that is both mellow and sweet and bright as the same time. The most important instrument in the huqin group is the Erhu, which is widely played in many genres of Chinese music and is often used as a solo instrument, having a large repertoire. Our Erhus are of fine quality, and all have geared tuners that look like the original wooden pegs, come with bow and case, and sound excellent. Erhu are most commonly tuned DA like the middle strings of a violin CHI074 $160.00

• BEST SELLERS •

Turkish Ouds The ancestor of the lute, mandolin and guitar

is the oud, the original lute of the Middle East. Based on a Persian instrument with a one piece body called barbat, which also is the ancestor of the Chinese pipa, the oud was developed further by making the body out of thin strips of wood. Also, the soundboard was wooden, unlike the skin soundboards of the earlier Arab lutes. With the Arab conquest of Spain and Sicily, the oud was first introduced to Europe. Played with a plectrum originally made from a quill, the oud is considered “the prince of the instruments” and is preferred by both theorists and singers. Unlike Arabic ouds Turkish ouds are shorter scale, tuned usually to C#F#BEAD or EABEAD, and are less ornamented but somewhat finer made in general. Both styles are fretless. Professional Turkish Oud OUD003 $644.95

What Is Lark? Lark In The Morning is a mail order musician’s service founded in 1974 that specializes in hard to find musical instruments, music and instructional materials. We always have a large inventory on hand, but due to the unusual nature of most of the items we carry and the small workshops where they are made, it's impossible to keep everything in stock at all times. We often have to order things from far away places or have them specially made by craftspeople. Thus, we can never guarantee the exact delivery time of anything not in stock. We will do our best to get your order to you as soon as possible. We offer items from more than 1000 suppliers from over 70 countries. The pricing in this catalog is as realistic as possible at the time of printing but may change at anytime - we cannot guarantee pricing. Please read our terms section for more details, and play a tune for us! We love to get recordings and photos of our customers.

(Tee Fer or Bastrinque)

Rib Bones

These bones are the REAL thing, the original Cro-Magnon instrument from which refined ”modern” bones sprung. Made from high-end (that's the front, for you slickers) ribs of Texas longhorn steers, they're air-cured, cut and polished to deliver a mellow, rich tone somewhere inbetween our other bone bones and our wooden bones. This is the instrument tall ship seamen played, who rescued 16 of them from their beef ration around the Horn, and what the early Mithraists culled from their sacrifices for their proto-ceildhes, long after Lucy had plucked them from the communal roasting-fire for her generation in the Olduvai Gorge. Predating even the drums, these are the most ancient instruments on earth, beating the rhythms of ancestral memory. Because they're hollow, they produce everything from a sonorous woodblock sound to the high click of the traditional Irish or minstrel bones, depending on how you play them - and they have, on average, over 1/2 octave range in variable. A tip/ warning on aging your bones: when you receive them, they are still ”green,” which means some moisture and residual marrow odor remains, which will pass with time. Keep them where there is plenty of air circulation, but remember: dogs will pick up on this instantly, so keep them safely out of reach or they will be eaten! Per pair BON018 $39.95

Cajun Spoons

Before drums and guitars were available for Cajun folk music (in the late 1800’s and early 1900’s), a pair of gumbo spoons were commonly used to help keep time to the music. Most spoons were hand held, but some were mounted into cypress wooden handles and tied with string to prevent slipping from moist hands in the hot weather. The spoons that we offer are mounted in a wooden handle with a rubber filling using real gumbo spoons. A great rhythm instrument! Per set.

Rope Tension Ashikos

Arthur Hull is well known internationally for his amazing approach to drum teaching, with special emphasis on cooperation and community spirit in the drum circle; he has also performed with many artists including Babatunde Olatunji. In addition he designs quality drums. Arthur Hull’s Signature Rope Tension Ashikos, designed for Remo, combine traditional West African design with new materials to create an excellent instrument that is visually and tonally authentic. The rope tension system is improved by use of Hull’s special “Triple Bump” design aiding fine tuning without adding hardware; the head is pretuned Mondo Fiberskyn 3, which sounds like fine goatskin but is unaffected by weather and very durable. The drums are made of Acousticon H/D, a stable strong resonant material, and have a molded bearing edge. Highly resistant to cracking or damage, Acousticon is light in weight and has the warmth and resonance of fine wood.

Udu Drums

The beautiful Udu Drum originates from Nigeria. Surprisingly, it began not as a percussion instrument, but as a common clay pot made for carrying water. When a potter from the ancient Ibo tribe inadvertently made an opening in the side of one of his vase-shaped water vessels, he discovered the pot's earthy, musical sound. Because some believed its haunting tone to be the ”voice of the ancestors,” the simple side-hole drum - sculpted entirely from earth, water, fire, and air - came to be an important part of religious ceremonies in southern and central Nigeria. Though the drum had different names depending on the region in which it was used, ”udu” was the Ibo name, meaning both ”pottery” and ”peace” in the tribal language. Today's Udu Drum has become accessible to the world's percussionists through the efforts of one man - artist, industrial designer, and master ceramicist, Frank Giorgini. Some twenty years ago, Giorgini began painstakingly hand crafting the clay drums by traditional Nigerian pottery techniques and engineering them to acoustic perfection. He created a versatile musical instrument that appealed to percussionists and was so beautifully designed it was added to the permanent collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. As the demand for his handmade drums grew, the designer was moved to devise a system for producing them in greater quantities, more quickly. Through a slipcasting process, he produced his Claytone Series - Udu's with the same quality tone of the hand-sculpted originals, but more easily made. Now, LP Music Group continues that process, producing Udu drums that have ”the voice of the ancestors.”

Bongos Bongo is the Cuban term for a variety of small

Afro-Cuban drums, one of which is the bongo we are familiar with. Bongos are an integral part of Latin Percussion, particularly as a solo instrument. They are mainly played sitting down, held between the knees. The modern bongo is tuned much higher as befitting its role as the soloist in the Latin Rhythm Section. The modern playing technique is based on a stroking pattern called the “Martillo.” The bongo player also doubles on cowbell, which is used during the Montuno Section, when the rhythmic intensity and volume grows greater.

Native American Drums

These are the traditional drums of the American Pueblo and Plains Indians made in the time-honored manner. Each drum has its own character and sound. The drums are made from the native woods of New Mexico. The wood is peeled, slowly dried and hollowed. The skins are cleaned and carefully scraped in the traditional manner and the rawhide lacing is hand cut and stretched. These drums often have different pitch and tone. Generally more humid environments than the Southwest can cause a lower pitch. You may tighten drum heads by warming them by the fire, sunlight, or heater. Drums are measured by diameter x height. Diameter is calculated by the greatest shell width across the top. Drums may vary in size. The wider the diameter of the drum the deeper the pitch and resonance. Also, for drums over 12” in diameter, the deeper the drum the greater the resonance. Weight may be an important consideration for drums over 15”x16” in size if they are to be used as musical instruments. Other types and sizes available. If you don’t see what you’re looking for, give us a call. Beaters sold separately.

Sioux Drums

Sioux Drums are from 3-1/2” to 9” in height (depth), and are always wider than they are tall. They are made from 12 sections of wood (one for each month of the year), carefully pieced together and sanded, with rawhide skin on both sides and rawhide lacing. Because they are lighter in weight than the taller Pueblo drums, they are recommended for dance, healing and trance work. 9” NAD004 $61.95 13” NAD005 $98.50 16” NAD006 $137.95 20” NAD007 $227.95 28” NAD037 $391.95

Because of its delicacy and intimate sonority, the setar is the preferred instrument of Sufi mystics SPS505 $900.00

SAZ001

Persian Setar The ancestry of the setar can be traced to the

Saz Turkish Long Neck Lute The saz is the most important Turkish folk

instrument and is widely popular. A descendant of the ancient tambur-e-Khorsan, the saz has the additional frets needed to play the correct intervals used in Turkish folk music, sometimes called “1/4 tones”. These frets are tied on and can be moved for different modes if needed. Played with a small pick, the saz is a melodic instrument and comes in several sizes. The smallest is the cura, and the most common size is the baglama, which is much larger than the tiny Greek baglama. Indeed, the saz is one of the ancestors of the modern Greek bouzouki. Saz bodies are either carved from one piece of wood, or are built of staves like a mandolin or oud. Sazes are usually tuned in 5ths, and the music is written as if the tuning is GDA; many other tunings are used, but EDA, F#DA and a few others are most common. The actual pitch may be somewhat higher depending on the neck, so that the actual tuning may be AEB, BbFC, etc. If the neck is short enough, CGD is common. There are also options of stringing, the most common having the G and A strings set up with octave courses. Any saz with 7 pegs can be set up for this tuning. Some sazes are set up with single strings; the set-up is the choice of the player. In recent years electric sazes have become popular with many live performers.

The ancestor of the lute, mandolin and guitar is the oud, the original lute of the Middle East. Based on a Persian instrument with a one piece body called barbat, which also is the ancestor of the Chinese pipa, the oud was developed further by making the body out of thin strips of wood. Also, the soundboard was wooden, unlike the skin soundboards of the earlier Arab lutes. With the Arab conquest of Spain and Sicily, the oud was first introduced to Europe. Played with a plectrum originally made from a quill, the oud is considered “the prince of the instruments” and is preferred by both theorists and singers. Indeed the European lute of the Middle Ages was nothing more than an oud, played with a pick; later the instrument was redesigned and transformed into the Renaissance lute. Today the oud is played from Morocco to Turkey, with two main styles of manufacture. Arabic ouds have a longer scale length and larger bodies and are tuned either DGADGC, CFADGC, etc., and tend to have more geometric inlays; Turkish ouds are shorter scale, tuned usually to C#F#BEAD or EABEAD, and are less ornamented but somewhat finer made in general. Both styles are fretless.

Sakis Greek Bouzoukis

Sakis has been making fine Greek musical instruments for over 20 years, producing a wide variety of bouzoukis, jouras and baglamas. Excellent workmanship combined with quality materials make Sakis bouzoukis the choice of professional players. The bouzouki, although a distinctly Greek instrument, is a relatively modern offshoot of the Turkish baglama saz. The early bouzoukis at the turn of the century looked like sazes, with one piece bodies, no soundhole on the face, wooden tuning pegs, but with metal chromatic frets. By the early 20’s, the influence of Italian mandolin making had altered the bouzouki into the basic form it is today. 8 string Bouzouki 15 Stave Natural Walnut Back, rosewood fingerboard, white pickguard with decorative pattern BOU006 $474.95 19 Stave Black Walnut Back, ebony fingerboard, black pickguard with decorative pattern BOU007 $774.95 30-40 Stave Black Walnut Back, ebony fingerboard, black pickguard with decorative pattern.

The harmonium is an Indian musical instrument, somewhat akin to the early American pump organ. The piano-like keyboard is played with the right hand, while pumping the bellows with the left. Harmoniums give an amazing amount of good sound and music, even for the beginner with little skill or experience. Their mellow, warm-sounding tone blends well with the human voice; thus they are especially well-suited for individual or group singing. The handcrafted harmonium makes an attractive addition to any home. The convenient size about (1 ft. x 1 ft. x 2 ft.) makes it easy to move about or store, and still have at your fingertips when you want it there. Harmoniums require little maintenance and servicing, and are reasonably priced. Each is its own individual instrument with a unique sound and style, differing in volume, tonation and performance characteristics.

The gopichand is used by religious mendicants for accompanying pastoral songs and is a favorite instrument of the Bauls of Bengal. Used mainly as a rhythm instrument.

Shakuhachi The shakuhachi is a traditional Japanese end-blown flute that is finding ever-increasing favor with

SHK030

all types of musicians. We’ve even heard it used with a Celtic harp for a unique Far East-Irish blend. This deceptively simple looking bamboo tube is capable of a beautiful variety of tone colors and has a wonderfully haunting and meditative sound. The name ”shakuhachi” literally means 1.8 feet which is the length of the classical flute. The origin of the shakuhachi has been traced back as far as ancient Egypt, and is presumed to have migrated through India and China before entering Japan in the 6th C. It's popularity was short-lived and it wasn't until the 13th C. that it was revived by the Fuke sect of zen Buddhism which sought to replace sutra chanting with the shakuhachi. In the Edo period (1603-1867) the shakuhachi was favored by the swelling number of uprooted and disenfranchised samurai warriors (ronin) who joined the ranks of itinerant beggars and preachers known as komuso (”Priests of Emptiness and Nothingness”). The violent clan struggles which marked the late 16th C. forced some of the komuso to form a society for self-protection. Legend has it that members of the Fukeshu sought to deceive the shogun with forged documents giving them exclusive rights to play the shakuhachi and to solicit alms with it. In return for this privilege they agreed to spy on the activities of other ronin. Forbidden to carry their revered samurai swords, these komuso redesigned the shakuhachi from the root of the bamboo making their instruments longer and stouter for use as club. Thus it is that the shakuhachi received its present form. Basic Model SHK023 $125.00, Good Student Model with binding SHK001 $185.00

Drehorgel Monkey Grinder Organ, Hurdy Gurdy Barrel Organ A great old-time instrument is this 17th

Century Drehorgel (Barrel Organ). A quality instrument made in Germany. This is a pipe organ operated mechanically admitting air to the appropriate pipes. Essentially it consists of 2 or more ranks of organ pipes in an enclosed cabinet above a bellows. These instruments are mounted on small carts and were wheeled about by mendicant street musicians - the familiar “organ ginders,” usually accompanied by a monkey as a partner. A roll is attached to the barrel; the operator turns a handle, which works the bellows. We offer this Drehorgel in three different styles. We also offer a wide variety of song cards.

The Gravikord

The Gravikord is an electric double harp, with 24 nylon strings, inspired by the West African kora and love of polyrhythms in music. First built as an acoustic model out of bamboo, the Gravikord evolved over a decade into a contemporary electric harp of stainless steel and wood. Because the scale alternates from side to side, each hand is able to play both bass and treble notes simultaneously and independently, making the structure and its rhythmic possibilities dramatically different from western instruments. Its syncopated nature makes it a “harp for bongo players.” It’s also a harp that you can dance with! Enriched by the sympathetic vibrations of the unplayed strings, the Gravikord has a unique captivating rich harp-like sound, making its music appeal to audiences everywhere. Works with any amplifier (strictly electric). Comes with a soft carrying case and instruction manual. Weighing approx. 5 lbs., welded stainless steel frame, wood tuning block with metal tuning machines; carved bridge with piezoelectric pickup and cord, set of 24 colored nylon monofilament strings.

Digital Music Study Recorders Slow down those licks without changing the Superscope Vary Speed CD Player Fantastic Learning Tool A portable, professional-quality CD player that lets you change the key and tempo of any CD. Never before has a CD player provided these capabilities. Simple button controls let you quickly increase or decrease tempo up to 50%. Slow down a music track as a valuable practice aid. The PSD230 also lets you change the musical key in 1/16th tone increments up to one octave, without changing tempo. This makes transposing an accompaniment a snap. A segment of a track can be selected and continually replayed until mastered. Step through an entire track or CD by making the endpoint of one loop the beginning point of the next one. In addition, a voice reduction system within the unit effectively reduces the lead vocals on many CDs, allowing a practicing musician to better hear the instrumentals or a vocalist to sing along as the new lead. A mic/ line input on the PSD230 that accepts either a 1/4” or XLR connection allows a microphone or an instrument to be plugged in and mixed with the CD, enhancing the practice performance. An optional foot pedal allows easier control when hands are occupied with an instrument. Includes many other professional features, such as analog and digital stereo outputs for connection to powered speakers or a recording device, 3-band EQ for tone balancing, CDTEXT display, 3-way power, as well as built-in speaker and headphone jack with volume control. Play compilations recorded on CD-R or CD-RW discs. Take it with you anywhere. ELE610 $550.00 Foot Pedal (with player only) ELE611 $22.00

Pignose Battery Powered Amplifiers Since 1972 Pignose has been the leader in

portable battery-powered amplification. Many electric guitarists have used the original Pignose as a travel amp, a preamp, a studio amp, etc. Recently many acoustic musicians have been using them to amplify traditional acoustic instruments, from guitars and mandolins to ouds and sazes; in fact I’ve used the Hog 30 in many belly dance situations where there is no AC power and the string instruments needed to be brought to the volume of several dumbek players whacking away on modern plastic-headed LOUD dumbeks! It even worked well with a microphone to amplify the ney flute. The newer Hog 20 and 30 models have enough power to provide a clean sound adding a new dimension to the Pignose tone. Plus these models have rechargeable batteries making them efficient and economical. They run for hours and hours on one charging, a real plus for the outdoor performer. Legendary Pignose This is the original portable guitar amp, with that funky sound we’ve loved for over 25 years. 5 watts, 5” speaker. ELE048 $119.95 Hog 20 Recharging Portable Amp A larger version of the Pignose, with volume, tone and “squeal” (overdrive!) controls; headphone out and speaker on/off switch, which allows for use as a headphone amp, as a preamp or direct input signal. 20 watts, 6.5” speaker. ELE049 $189.95 Hog 30 Recharging Portable Amp The largest portable Pignose amp, this will work for acoustic guitar, keyboard, bass, and other amplified acoustic instruments. Volume, master volume, treble, mid and bass EQ, “Funk Bass” switch, headphone and line out jacks. 30 watts, 8” speaker. ELE050 $249.95

Sabine Metrotune MT-8000 Combines a Chromatic Autotuner with a

Metronome. The MetroTune uses three rows of bright, multipurpose and bi-color LEDs to give musicians easy access to pitch and tempo information. In metronome mode, the 20-LED display mimics a pendulum’s sweep. The MetroTune is adjustable from 40 to 206 beats per minute, and has an accented downbeat, a tone generator and a 3-stage volume control. Tuning with the MetroTune is fast, accurate and completely hands free. The MetroTune automatically senses and clearly displays the note on one LED row, and then precisely indicates the degree of sharpness or flatness on another. Green LEDs in the center make it easy to understand when the correct pitch has been achieved, and the bar graph-like sharp/flat indicator gives the perfect visual cue. The MetroTune has a transpose function. In addition, the 12-note, full range chromatic MetroTune can be calibrated to other pitches - useful for tuning to alternate scales or for instruments that tune to pitches other than A=440 Hz. SABINE METROTUNE MT-8000 KEEPS YOU IN-TEMPO AND IN-TUNE. TUN015 $39.95

Shanti Chimes

Jingle Bands

Unique chimes hand made in the Pyrenees mountains. Each chime is the result of meticulous craftsmanship. Eight metal rods of different lengths are welded with silver into the metal plate at the base of the resonance tube. Extremely precise tuning creates a harmonic play of clear tones and overtones. The overtones of the shorter chords gradually dominate and become fundamentals, thus forming a circular tone range with no beginning or end. Shanti Chimes come in several tunings, each with its specific timbre, and in assorted colors and designs. They are protected with a varnish coating. Hold the chime by the upper cord and move it gently. The crystalline, relaxing sound may leave you in quiet wonder. Outside, sheltered from rain, as it plays with the wind it will carry you away on an unexpected melody. BEL210 $66.95

Hand Bells

Earlier handlebells were frequently loud, untuned, attention-getting instruments. The tuned handbell was developed in Britain during the 18th century. As the craft was refined, and permanent molds were designed and the optimum combination of copper and tin developed, bell ringers could order custom made and custom tuned sets of diatonic and chromatic bells. Bells are still made from molds. They are made with slightly thicker walls, which are then thinned to perfect the tuning of each bell. The tuning is accomplished by a skilled craftsperson, using experience, tuning forks and electronic equipment. The art of musical handbell ringing came about when 18th century Britons wanted to practice change ringing in nonchurch settings. Pub owners frequently had bell sets available and bell ringing societies sprung up. Public bell ringing competitions were organized, brought to its most prestigious level by the Handbell Ringing Contest, Belle Vue Gardens, Manchester, England, between 1855 and 1926. Some bell orchestras had as many as 250 bells. By 1876 the Royal Portland Street Handbell Ringers had given 6 command performances for royalty. We are pleased to offer tuned hand bells. A great group or solo musical experience. 27 Note Silver Plated Handbell Set with case 27 notes/bells from F5 to G7, Silver plated steel & brass, Diameter: 75mm; Length: 180mm, Comes complete with hardshell carrying case which can be used as a playing stand.

Shofar Ceremonial Ram's Horn Trumpet The Shofar is the ritual instrument of the

ancient and modern Hebrews, the only Hebrew cultural instrument to have survived until now. Of martial origin, the shofar was a priestly instrument in Biblical times. According to the Mishna, two different forms of shofar were used in the Temple: one made of ibex horn, its bell ornamented with gold, was sounded at New Year and during the Yovel Days; one made of ram’s horn, with silver ornamentation, was sounded on fast days. We learn from the Mishna and the Talmud that in the Hellenistic period no improvements or modifications that might affect the tone were permitted: no gold-plating of its interior, no plugging of holes, no alteration of its length (the minimum permissible length of a ritually approved horn was 3 handbreadths); the shofar tone was to be preserved unaltered. Nor was the process of steaming or boiling permitted. Apart from its liturgical uses the shofar was closely connected with magical symbolism. Its blast destroyed the walls of Jericho, and in the Dead Sea scrolls we read that during battles, shofar blowers sounded a powerful war cry to instill fear into the hearts of the enemy while priests blew the six “trumpets of killing.” Historically, the shofar has also served in a number of popular usages: it was sounded during rites to bring rain, in the event of local disasters, and so on. In our times its liturgical use is restricted to New Year (Rosh Hashanah) and the Day of Atonement (Yom Kippur). Our shofars are made by the Bar-Sheshet and Ribak families. The Bar-Sheshet family started manufacturing shofarot in 16th Century Spain. With the expulsion from Spain, the family moved to Morocco, where they resumed production of their shofarot until 1947. That same year, Meir Bar-Sheshet immigrated to Israel on the Exodus vessel, and continued to make shofarot there. A friend of ours has seen the large Yemenite shofar played on the Western Wall of Jerusalem on Sabbath morning, and describes the sound as remarkably like trumpet jazz - an amazing number of notes out of a wonderful serpentine, almost translucent instrument! Synthetic Shofar Made from fiberglass, this synthetic version of the Shofar horn has no animal smell or taste and plays even better than the natural horn.

Historic Woodwinds

Otto Steinkopf instruments are considered the most authentic copies of historic woodwind originals. Only in the crummhorn and kortholt has he deviated slightly from the originals, giving them an enlarged range. After many years in Berlin, building instruments and training apprentices on an ever-increasing scale, he accepted Dr. Hermann Moeck’s invitation to join him in Celle, where a section of the workshops is set aside for the production of these historic woodwind copies. Production of these instruments is relatively small, since each must be very carefully hand-produced and tuned, and the demand for them grows faster than the production of them is able to grow. Delivery times, thus, range from immediate to a year, though the latter is unusual, from the time of placing your order. It is an unhurried process the end result being well worth the wait. Special order only. Y

Pipe & Tabor One Handed Flute and Drum The pipe and tabor are a one-handed flute

and shallow drum played at the same time. It first appeared in S. France and N. Spain in the 12th C. and is still played there today. During the late Middle Ages and the Renaissance it was known in most of Western Europe. It is used mainly to accompany dances. In England it was called the ”whittle and dub” and is still used to accompany Morris dances. In France the tabor is now usually replaced by a tambourin à cordes (string drum), while the Basque people still use a snare drum. You can play a full scale of an octave or more using just the 3 holes of this flageolette while playing an accompaniment on the tabor drum. Fine tabor pipes by Ralph Sweet.

Ocarina

From the time of its earliest use by ancient Indian tribes to the present day, the ocarina has maintained a unique mystique all its own. Its mellow, haunting sound has found its way into folk traditions around the world. The ocarina has appeared in many forms throughout history. The earliest “globular flutes” were made of clay fashioned in the shape of small animals. The name ocarina was given to the instrument during the 1800’s in Italy, where they were extremely popular. They became a craze in the U.S. around the turn of the century in their “sweet potato” form, and during World War ll the U.S. government even issued mass-produced plastic ocarinas to its soldiers as a morale booster.

Ocarina Pendants

Wear It! ¶ Play It!

These musical miniatures are made by the Ocarina Workshop. This type of ocarina is descended from the ritual clay whistles of PreColumbian South America.

Didgeridoos

The Aboriginal Didgeridoo has been rediscovered and is used in contemporary settings for consciousness alteration by practitioners of shamanism, music therapists, and adventurers in consciousness. The Didgeridoo or Yidaki, as it is called in the Yolno language, is the traditional instrument played by the indigenous tribal people of Australia. The “People”, as they call themselves, are one of the oldest intact cultures surviving on this planet, tracing their known origins back 40,000 years. The Didgeridoo is actually created by termites who eat away the inner-cores of the “Stringybark” trees, leaving behind the hollowed-out trunks. By tapping on the fallen trees, the aborigines selectively determine their suitability and hollowness, cut off both ends of the chosen stick, and clean it out, thereby producing a Didgeridoo. Add a little bees-wax for a mouthpiece, and there you have the oldest wind instrument in the world, used for thousands of years to accompany singing, dancing and to alter the state of consciousness of both player and audience. Traditionally aboriginal children are given the Didgeridoo and encouraged to take it out into the Bush to let nature be the teacher. After a few hours the Didgeridoo will teach you how to play it.

An original American wind instrument inspired by the Australian didjeridoo. Made from a native Southwest agave cactus which sends up a flowering stalk at the end of its 35-65 year life span. These stalks shoot straight up, or grow in gentle spirals and curves, with large flared bases. Drying in place over several seasons, the fibrous stalks become hard and woody. Only specific agaves are harvested that produce the thick and dense wood. Hollowed to follow the natural exterior shape, while removing all the interior soft fiber, to produce an instrument with interesting and unique tones. Finished with a clear, non-toxic, environmentally-friendly product suitable for food containers. These pipes will not split or crack. Suitable for beginners to advanced players.

Irish Bronze Age Horns

One of the most exciting musical discoveries of the 20th Century was the re-awakening of the Bronze Age Horns of Ireland. An ancient mystery had been solved. For hundreds of years attempts were made to play each of the 104 horns that survive from the Irish Bronze Age. All were met with failure due to the large “single cavity” mouthpiece which is a feature of the bronze horn family. The breakthrough came in the 1970’s when Professor Peter Holmes of London compared them to existing ethnic instruments including the triton conch, African animal horns and the Australian didgeridoo. His conclusions were taken up by Simon O’Dwyer in Ireland who began to make replicas and learn how to play them. Due to the rediscovery of the musical properties of the horns and the subsequent exploration and research, it is now thought highly unlikely that these instruments were ever used in battle. There are several reasons for this conclusion. First, it is quite clear that each horn required an enormous amount of skill, labor and wealth in its manufacture. If war trumpets were needed then long cow horns would make a louder noise and be far cheaper to produce. Such war horns were used in Scotland until quite recently. Second, a player will not achieve the sweetest sound from any of the Bronze Age horns by blowing too hard just for the sake of volume. The best results are attained by finding the natural internal pressure of the instrument and playing around it. Only then does the horn begin to produce the beautiful rich harmonics and overtones which make it unique. Played in this way, the sound is not in any way loud or angry. It is mellow, haunting and deeply evocative. By no means could it be considered rousing, frightening or intimidating. The most likely uses for Irish horns in the Bronze Age were either as very fine musical instruments, which they undoubtedly are; or as sacred ceremonial horns played with the bells for religious and other gatherings. Casting is the creation of a required shape by filling a mold with a liquid which hardens and acquires the shape. In the case of bronze, the most common modern means of casting is called Cira Perdu or “Lost Wax”. This means that the shape is formed with wax. The wax is then surrounded with liquid clay or ceramic shell to make a mold. A pouring hole is left open at the top. The mold is heated to harden the clay and burn out the wax. Bronze is fired to a temperature of about 170C, when it becomes liquid and is then poured into the mold. If everything has gone to plan the shape should be in bronze inside when the mold is broken open. In the case of the horns this system requires a large amount of preparation, good luck and a lot of welding and clean up afterwards. In the Bronze Age, a two part clay mold with a central core was used to make horns. Professor Peter Holmes’ study on original instruments concludes that the mold was formed around a solid shape in two halves and a core of clay was then positioned between and held in place with bronze pins or chapletts. The clay had to be fired before casting and this meant that the mold would shrink by 10%. Thus the shape of the horn had to be artificially altered to take this into account.

Very suitable for intermittent playing and overtone harmonics. Notes can be altered by moving the hand in and out of the bell. Y HOR053 $3,220.00 Medium End Blow Horn 26” long. Mouthpiece at the end. Decorated with inlaid rings and spiral at bell. Carrying ring attached two thirds of the way along the instrument. Very suitable for circular breathing, playing punchy rhythms.

The MEG Tinwhistle

In 1843 Robert Clarke invented the tinwhistle. The first ones that he manufactured were called Megs. Meg is the Victorian word for a halfpenny and that is precisely what Robert’s tinwhistle cost to buy. In making such an inexpensive real musical instrument, Robert brought affordable music to the masses and, in no time, his instruments were becoming available world-wide. Now, once again the Clarke Company is manufacturing a tinwhistle that is extremely affordable, yet still a real musical instrument. The Meg whistle has plastic mouthpiece and a conical tin body. Tonal characteristics, although slightly different from those of the Sweetone, still achieve the feel and quality of that famous Clarke sound.

Bamboo Saxophones

Finely crafted bamboo saxes with a warm rich sound. The open holes give the player options not available on the traditional sax, such as finger vibrato and half-holeing. These bamboo saxophones are also ideal for beginners, because the recorder-like fingering system makes them easy to play. Professional musicians value the unique sound characteristics, and quite often a professional musician orders the whole range. These unique instruments are made from up to 17 bamboo rings, with diameters from 20mm to 80mm. The use of angular-cut bamboo sections to achieve the unique curve of these instruments is an original idea. Production capacity is limited each instrument is perfectly hand-crafted from specially selected native bamboo varieties. When the bamboo is chosen, priority is given to characteristics which favor good sound quality and inherent strength. The harvested bamboo is left to dry at its original habitat before it gets treated to ensure resistance to climate change and beetle damage. Due to the nature of bamboo, each instrument is built and tuned individually (pitch A 440 Hz - digital tuner) to play chromatic scales of 1+ to 2 octaves. Each sax is not considered finished until it has that touch of brilliance and the typical sound that make for beautiful pitch and tone. Comes ready to play with a standard saxophone reed, ligature, bamboo mouthpiece protector, woven carrying bag and instruction booklet.

Clarke Pennywhistles Handmade in England of rolled tinplate

with a wooden fipple plug, Clarke’s famous pennywhistles have been around since 1843. The Clarke tinwhistle of today retains all the essential features of those played by Whistling Billy 150 years ago. The instrument is still made of the same basic materials. Delicate operations continue to be done by hand. Most importantly, the traditional conical bore has been retained to give the instrument its unique timbre and rounded tone. The sheets of tin plate are handrolled and soldered. After polishing, the wooden plug, or fipple, is inserted. Then each instrument is “voiced” to ensure a good clear sound.

Howard “Handmade” Brass D Whistle Brian Howard has designed a whistle pitched

in standard high D. A high quality handmade instrument that has the old-fashioned tone of the brass whistles with the (rather dangerous) lead blocks of the 1800’s and early 1900’s (these have a non toxic Acetal block). It fulfills the need of players who want an instrument that is in tune, does not take a lot of air, is tuneable, does not sound like a 6 hole recorder and is beautiful to the look and touch. These are some of the best D whistles we have ever played! Each instrument is individually numbered and voiced to give a smooth transition over the two octaves and allow for some dynamics without losing pitch. You can play loud or soft on this whistle with the note staying stable. The materials used are seamless heavy brass tube redrawn in the Howard workshop and an Acetal block. WHS290 $250.00

Colonial Fife Maple C

Irish Flutes Casey Burns has been making

Irish style flutes for over 20 years. Based on historical examples including Pratten and Rudall, his flutes have been ergonomically redesigned to suit the needs of regular and smaller handed players. Ergonomic fingerhole placement improves dexterity and reduces long term discomfort for all players. The voicing of these flutes is optimized for rich, quick and responsive tone production. African Blackwood is now the standard by which all other flute tonewoods are judged. Mopane, a reddish African timber, resembles Blackwood in density and has been found to be an ideal flute timber. The tone of flutes made from Mopane rivals Blackwood - its just as strong and firm, but has a nice bit of warmth to it.

Highland Bagpipes

Good Quality Instruments - Bargain Prices On an amazing trip to Pakistan, I saw bagpipes being made for some of the oldest and most respected Scottish pipe companies (believe it or not these pipes were destined to have “Made In Scotland” and famous brand names stamped on them). We can offer the same pipes telling you where they really were made at a greatly reduced price. These are the traditional Scottish bagpipe just made in a different place. For many years Scottish regiments were stationed in Pakistan. Today you will find dark skinned, turbaned, kilted bagpipers marching in the streets of Sialkot City. These bagpipes are made in Pakistan and are of very good quality. The pipes we offer should not be confused with the cheaper export grade sets available. Each of the full sets are well tuned. Each set comes with extra reeds and set-up instructions.

If that wasn’t enough, it has the relatively rare feature of having a tone generator and speaker, so you can tune by ear to a pitch. TUN016 $34.95

Duda Bagpipes This beautiful double-

micro controller technology, that is completely digital totally eliminating frequency drift and drone tuning problems. The notes are played in a very realistic manner, by covering electronic touch sensors, positioned to exactly match the finger spacing of a regular pipe chanter. The unit may be programmed to play in the regular bagpipe key of ”b-flat”, or one of seven different keys, to match the pitch of other instruments - all by simply playing the desired key on the finger holes - i.e.: all holes covered for the key of ”g”. Contact must be made between the common terminal on the back of the chanter tube and the right thumb at all times for proper operation. As the touch switches operate by detecting the very high skin resistance between the finger contacts and the common terminal, it is sometimes necessary to moisten the hands to maintain good conduction. Ross Technologies Programmable Electronic Bagpipes are an affordable, high quality digital instrument, equally suitable for use as a convenient practice chanter or, with an amplifier for live performance.

Northumbrian Smallpipes Many people ask advice on buying a

Northumbrian Smallpipe. The following will help anyone interested in getting a set of pipes. Northumbrian bagpipe music is written in the key of “G” although the instruments in reality are pitched in “F”; in other words you play the written fingering for “G” and you get an “F”. Sets can be special ordered that play in “D”. The chanter is stopped enabling a staccato style of playing that gives them the unique “bubbling” sound for which they have become famous. The drones play a harmonizing chord, are dry reeded and bellows blown. Northumbrian pipes come in different forms. The Primitive set is the original Smallpipes. It has a limited compass of 8 fingerholes (one octave) and only 3 drones which play G (G below middle C), D and G above (remember when we’re talking G we really mean F). Although this is a good training instrument for the first 6 months of practice, its limited range soon imposes a restriction to anyone seriously wishing to play the Northumbrian repertoire. The 7 key set is the basic “real” instrument. The seven keys extend the range of the chanter by 5 notes, in addition to providing 2 accidental notes in the middle of the range C# and D#. There are 4 drones with one tuning bead on the G drone, giving the notes D, G, A, D, G; this gives the player the possibility of playing in G major or D major (remember G is F and D would be C). Drones are available with extra tuning beads. These are called Complex drones. These add the possibility of playing in A major or E minor. Normally these are fitted to a set with 9 or more keys which has 2 G#s necessary for the key of A major.

A zampogna is a bagpipe with 2 drones and 2 chanters. The sound is reminiscent of a mellow organ. The name Zampogna goes back to the 14th century.

A small oboe called ciramella or piffero, as well as drums, are used in consort with the zampogna. The zampogna is the traditional Italian Christmas instrument.

Swedish Bagpipes

Our Swedish bagpipe is modeled on a type played in Sweden from the 15th through the 19th centuries, when the instrument began to die out. The most famous of the last players of this era was Gudmunds Mils Larsson (1892-1949) from the village of Dala-Jarna. Only about 10 instruments from this period of time are known to exist today. The instrument most commonly heard uses a primitive single-reed chanter, and is pitched in the key of E (using interchangeable major and minor chanters) and uses a single drone. Its voice is moderate in volume, particularly sweet and rich, and very easy to play. We import these pipes from Sweden, made by Leif Eriksson. The basic scale is E, F#, G#, A, B, C, D, E. A chanter with a major scale in E also comes with the set. The bag is bark-tanned calf-skin; the stocks, mouthpiece, chanter and drone are birch. These are beautiful sounding instruments!

Mini Two Row Button The Accordion fine Italian maker of

top quality accordions, Castagnari, has produced a special small button accordion that packs the power of a larger model melodeon (the “proper” name for a button box!) into a tiny package. We are pleased to offer the Giordy, a miniature melodeon weighing only 2.2lbs, 6”x33/4” with a tone so rich and powerful that you could use it to drive a dance! It has 12 keys in two rows of 6 buttons, the standard layout of 8 bass buttons with powerful single reeds and has a wooden body of cherry and walnut, and is built to the same high standards of quality as Castagnari’s world famous full size melodeons. Its size and weight make it ideal for the traveling musician or any situation where saving space is desired. Truly an amazing sound for such a little squeezebox. In the key of C/G. ACC181 $795.00

Stoney End Harps Solid Walnut, Maple or Cherry wood is used

for the structural frame and pinblock. The plywood side and back panels are inserted into dado cuts in the solid corners and the base. This makes a durable and strong, yet very lightweight harp body. The soundboards are the heart of the good sound. Finnish aircraft grade 3 millimeter Birch laminate is used. This provides exceptional strength with low weight and allows cutouts on both the bottom and top ends of the string band to be made. This opens up the soundboard and makes it free to vibrate over its entire surface, something that thicker, stiffer, more confined soundboards cannot do. Finished with 3 clear coats of Deft brand Nitrocellulose Laquer. Most of the harps are strung with Nylon, but any of them can be strung with wire for a clear bell-like sound. Zither tuning pins are standard on all except the Braunwen and Marion harp, but Thru pins are available. Loveland sharping levers can be ordered with the harp. Harps are available as a completed instrument, an assembled instrument needing finishing and installation of hardware and strings, or as a kit.

Eve harp

The Eve harp is our most popular model. It is a 22-string gothic style lap or knee harp, tuned from G to G. The lowest C is middle C on a piano. Because of its small size, this harp can be taken almost everywhere, yet it is capable of expressive music. A three octave instrument that is portable with a sweet sound and very light in weight. This harp is 30 inches high, 17 inches deep, and 10 inches wide and weighs 7 pounds.

Irish Low headed Celtic version of the Lorraine. This harp has delighted everyone who has tried it.

Esabelle Harp

Our fully chromatic cross-strung lap harp features a three-octave range. Available in Walnut or Cherry, this harp does not require any levers, yet it can be played in any key. The cross-strung harp is an old idea that is becoming popular again. One set of strings contains the natural notes, the white keys on a piano. The other set of strings passes between these and consists of sharps, the black notes on a piano. At the place where the strings cross, one can play a note from either string band just by adjusting slightly the finger placement. Now you can have a chromatic harp with no sharping levers. With a little practice, the possibilities are endless. Finished HAR146 $879.00 Assembled HAR147 $609.00 Kit HAR148 $479.00 Extra string set for Esabelle HAR149 $50.00

Lute: can be tuned at many pitch levels; most common: 6 course: GCFADG 7 course: DGCFADG or FGCFADG, rarer CGCFADG 8 course: DFGCFADG, also CFGCFADG and CDGCFADG Octave Mandolin, Irish Bouzouki and Cittern (modern Celtic) Octave mandolin: GDAE Irish Bouzouki: GDAD Cittern: DGDAD, CGDAE, rarely others Greek Bouzouki: 3 course (6 string): DAD (note low D in octaves) 4 course (8 string): CFAD (note C and F in octaves), also GDAD and ADAD Oud: Arabic #1: DGADGC Arabic #2: CFADGC Arabic #3: CGADGC Also some tune DEADGC (this pattern is the same but transposed tuning as the Cümbüs) or CEADGC for certain maqam; note many older ouds did not have the lowest course, or have it where the 1st course would be. Also some tunings are transposed, i.e. the C string actually sounds some other note. Habib Hassan Touma in “The Music of the Arabs” maintains that GADGC is the standard tuning; the additional course can be tuned several ways, some above the C string, some below the low G, and he always considers it to be where the 1st course would normally be. Old Turkish Bolahenk: EABEAD Old Turkish Mansur : ADEADG (restringing necessary; was used by the oud player with the Necdet Yasar Ensemble when he toured America several years ago) Modern Turkish Bolahenk: C#F#BEAD Modern Turkish Mansur : F#BEADG (restringing necessary- rare!) Most modern Turkish and Armenian oud players use the C#F#BEAD tuning, and can play in many key and tonal centers by skillful transpositions. Iraqi soloist tunings (uses the top 5 strings of a standard set plus one very thin course): FCDGCF, GADGCF Other Arabic Instruments: Moroccan Gimbri: GDA Buzuq: Gg cc (note that the c is a 4th above the higher of the G’s) Keman: (Kemanjah) Arabic violin- GDGD or GDGC; some players trained in Western violin also are using regular GDAE tuning, as do many Moroccans. (In Morocco the violin is held upright in the lap) Moroccan Rebab: GD (also found in other Andalus musics in Tunisia and Algeria.) Turkish Instruments: Saz: note that there are numerous tunings in the folksinger tradition. These are the “standard” tunings. Baglama: GDA, but can also be transposed up depending on the situation, saz neck length, etc. to AEB, BbFC, CGD, DAE, etc. Note also that the 3rd string is always in octaves, and often the 1st course is also in octaves, but a low octave is added making it seem only a step above the 3rd. Some players even double the middle string in octaves! Çura: GDA one octave above baglama; often

all courses are unisons, no low octave doubles. Some longer neck çura sazes can be tuned lower, DAE for instance. Black Sea Kemençe: DGC, also EAD, other, but always in 4ths. Spike Fiddle Kemanche: GDGD, also many others. Cümbüs: written notes in method book and on string set are DEADGC, but the actual playing pitch is transposed permanently a 5th higher: ABEADG Yayli Tambur: written and highest possible tuning- DAD, DGD (lowest course w/ octave double); most players actually tune lower to ADA or AEA Keman: (Turkish violin tuning, played western style under neck)- GDAD Fasil Kemançe: DGD Russian Instruments: Balalaika: Prima (standard small lead) EEA note that the two E’s should be nylon guitar high E’s, and the A a metal string app. .010 gauge; the middle E should be closer to the other E at the bridge than to the A. Played with fingers only, never a pick! Also, “real” balalaikas never have 6 strings in the strict tradition, although village players sometimes used them. Other sizes are tuned either DDA or lower octave EEA, and are played with a leather pick. Domra: EAD Yugoslav Tamburitza: EADG, note the D and G are double; other systems also. Dulcimer (mountain or Appalachian): Many tunings! DAD, DAA, DDD, etc, plus modal variants like DAC, etc. Violin: GDAE Viola: CGDA Cello:CGDA one octave lower Bass: EADG (only size tuned in 4ths) Chinese Instruments: Pipa: ADEA Yuet Chin (Yue Qin): GDG, GCG, DAD, etc: old versions only GD or DA Er Hu: DA like middle two on violin; note bow goes BETWEEN strings and requires both sides of the hair to be rosined. Ruan: GDGD San Xien: GDG, GCG, DAD, DGD depends on neck length Hardanger Fiddle: too many different ones! Strumstick: GDG Grand Strumstick: DAD Chromatic Strumstick: DGBE or others Sitar: many variants; these are the main playing strings. The chikaris are GCC and the sympathetics change to match the raga. Note often all pitches are sharp, sounding C#G#C#F# Some books: CCG, GCCF. Ravi Shankar: CCG, CGCF Nyckleharpa (main playing strings) old: DADA modern: DADB Tricordia: like mandolin, but triple strung Tiple: like Ukulele, but multiple courses w/ octaves Portuguese Guitarra (note lowest 3 course are octave doubles): Guitarra de Coimbra (app.47 cm scale)- CGADGA Guitarra de Lisboa (app. 44 cm scale)- DABEAB Other tunings from “Instrumentos Musicais Populares Portugueses”: CEGCEG, CFGCEG Viola Braguesa- (lowest 3 course octave doubles) DABEA, DGBF#A, EABEG Viola Amarantina (lowest 3 courses in octaves) DADF#A, DABEA some models have a low added 6th course; the book did not mention the tunings for 6 courses.

Since ancient times Finnish folk musicians have used the kantele as accompaniment to rune songs. Legend has it that the first kantele was made by a hero of Kalevala from the skull of a large pike fish, strung with long hairs given to him by young maidens. At the end of the 19th century the kantele was almost extinct, but a revival of the instrument in this century has brought the kantele to renewed popularity. This kantele is wing shaped and features a western red cedar top, mahogany back and walnut sides. It is tuned in D and includes tuning wrench and chart. The kantele is played in the lap, with the right hand plucking and strumming strings while the left hand mutes those strings not sounded. 24”x12”x2” 15 string kantele STR155 $314.95

most ancient of all string instruments, dating to 2800 B.C. in Sumeria where we have found artisitic representations on carvings and other sources. The lyre can be dated to at least 2000 B.C. in Egypt, and was used throughout the ancient world including classical Greece. Even the ancient Hebrews knew and prized the lyre as numerous Biblical refernces indicate. Differeing from the harp in that a lyre has strings that run parallel to the sounding surface, the lyre also had a unique playing style that incorporated damping certain strings with the left hand while strumming all of them with a pick in the right hand, thus sounding chords and such. Often lyres were tuned in the pentatonic mode, like EGABD, with special stopping techniques to get the F or C notes. We offer a modern version of the lyre with metal strings, a wooden body, and zither pin tuning PSA008 $98.95

Lute

The lute came to Europe towards the end of the 13th C. During the Renaissance the lute had an enormous repertoire and occupied a very special place of honor. The very early lutes had backs carved from a solid piece of wood, but by the Renaissance a series of separate ribs were employed to construct the curved back.

Vielle (Fiedel) or Medieval Fiddle

Various playing positions are depicted in carvings of the period, in some the fiedel is held on the shoulder, in others the very large instruments are held between the knees. VIO095 $730.00

Renaissance Cittern

During the 16th C. the Cittern was second in popularity only to the Lute. In its simplest form it had four courses of 2 or 3 strings each. The strings in each course were tuned in unison with an added octave in some courses. The Cittern had many tunings and was often retuned from one piece of music to the next. The music (or tablature) gave the correct tuning to be used at the beginning of each piece. The Cittern was played by plucking the strings with the fingers or with a plectrum. This nicely crafted cittern has 4 courses, one with 3 strings and the rest with 2. The soundboard is Sitka spruce or Swiss pine (your choice), and the rest of the instrument is either maple or sycamore. Can be ordered with modern guitar style tuning machines for easy tuning.

Bell Cittern

Sitka spruce face, maple or mahogany body. Can be ordered with modern guitar style tuning machines for easy tuning.Y EAR018 $1,945.00

Early Bowed Strings

German violin maker Walter Mahr comes from a long line of instrument makers; his greatgrandfather made violins, his grandfather specialized in mandolins. From a young age he showed talent as an instrument builder and was formally educated, graduating from violin making school in 1983 with top honors; after some years as a journeyman, he passed the trade exam in 1990 and set up his own shop in Bubenreuth. His instruments are made of fine tone wood, carefully aged and seasoned for 20 and up to 100 years. His family’s connections to old instrument makers is a great help in finding the desired materials. Finely crafted to meticulous standards, his instruments are traditionally hand finished with oil or spirit based varnish. Mahr is also well known for his restoration of precious antique instruments; this has allowed him to examine many original masterpieces from the 17th-19th centuries, which is reflected in the quality of his period reproductions. These new instruments will be the treasured antiques of the future.

Baroque Violin

The original design of the violin is today known as the “baroque” violin; although much the same as a modern violin, there are some significant differences. The neck is set in the same plane as the body, not angled back. The fingerboard has a wedge-shape to accommodate the bridge height and is slightly shorter. The bridge is somewhat different in design, is somewhat flatter, and the strings are of gut and often tuned to A=415; also the angle of the strings over the bridge is shallower and as such the baroque violin has a sweeter tone than a modern violin, but slightly less projection. The demands of larger concert halls of the late 18th and early 19th centuries brought about the changes in the violin to add volume and brilliance. Almost all of the great Italian violins by makers such as Stradivarius, Amati, etc. were originally “baroque” violins but were at some later point modified by changing the neck and fingerboard. In some ways, a baroque violin may well be more suitable for many styles of fiddle music than the modern violin; its flatter bridge facilitates double stops and open string drones, its sweeter tone suits many older fiddle styles, and the actual playing techniques of the baroque period differ from those of the modern classical violinist, but are much the same as many fiddlers still use. In many ways, the way a fiddler holds the instrument and bow are not “bad” classical violin technique but rather is “old” violin technique. The flattened left hand grip, the relative lack of high position playing, the violin held peghead downward, the lack of a shoulder rest, the method of holding the bow much more up the stick than near the frog, all harken back to Italian and French violin technique of the 17th and 18th century. The Mahr baroque violin is made in the traditional style, with a lightly flamed maple back and sides, spruce top, “imitation old” spirit varnish, with ebony fittings VIO044 $2,195.00 Baroque Bow VIO098 $285.00

Viola D’ Amore

The Viola D' Amore (The Fiddle Of Love) is best described as having a viol-like body of somewhat varying shape, fretless, held and bowed like a violin, often with “flame shaped” soundholes, and a large pegbox to accommodate the pegs for the extra sympathetic strings which run under the neck like those of a Hardanger fiddle. It was most popular in the early 18th century. It has six playing strings tuned ADAF#AD, but scordatura was common, that is altering the open tuning for specific musical purposes. Of course period music sounds wonderful on the Viola d’ Amore, but its rich tone and ringing sympathetic strings would be great to play many other styles of music. Obviously it would do well for Hardanger fiddle music; the two instruments are related members of the violin family, including the sympathetic strings, and would favor similar repertoire. Many American old-time fiddle pieces would sound fantastic on the Viola d’ Amore, particularly those with open tunings. Gypsy, Klezmer, and Middle Eastern fiddlers would appreciate the modal capabilities and additional resonance of the sympathetic strings. Fine reproductions of antique Viola d’Amores, based on traditional models, with a lightly flamed maple back and sides, spruce soundboard, “imitation old” spirit varnish, with ebony fittings.

Traditionally there has never been a Nyckelharpa factory and that is still true today. Each instrument is individually made of the traditional pine and has 16 strings and 37 wooden keys.

Stroh Violin

This amazing instrument often referred to as a phono violin or phonofiddle (vioara cu goarnã or highèghe) was designed in 1899 by the Austrian John Matthias Augustus Stroh, and was manufactured by his son Charles in 1901 in London. In the early part of the last century, you could order them in stores in Vienna. The Stroh violin was used in the recording industry from the late 19th century to the start of electronic amplification due to the fact that standard violins were not powerful enough to record on the wax cylinders used in the early days of recording. Vibrations from the strings are passed to the center of an aluminum disc acting as a diaphragm which amplifies the sound, producing an effect similar to that of a conventional fiddle only louder and with a slight phonographic overtone. The Stroh Violin was also widely used in early phonographic recording and is still used in certain folk styles today. Stroh with aluminum trumpet bell Aluminum bell Total Length: 24” Fitted with painted wooden fingerboard and machine tuners instead of wooden pegs; has “guitar strings” on G and D strings which work OK, but real violin strings will improve the tone. Aluminum cone is slightly brighter in tone than the brass. VIO080 $369.95 Stroh with aluminum trumpet bell, better fittings and detail work The best model combines the lightweight aluminum resonator, which is easier to hold for long periods, with more professional fittings consisting of an ebony fingerboard and ebony tuning pegs on a natural wooden matte finish neck and body.

Musical Saws

The musical saw dates back to the 12th century. Around 1917-1918 two workers in the steel mill in Sandviken got together and built a small musical saw. In 1919 at the village of Forsbacka, Martin Larsson borrowed his father’s handsaw and played it with his violin bow. A foreman at the Sandvik Steel Works who was a violinist carried out a series of tests to make the best possible Musical Saw, the Sandvik Stradivarius. Sandvik is now known as Bahco.We offer the best quality musical saw: the Bahco Stradivarius. Each of these saws are made from cold-rolled hardened and tempered strip steel which is cut to shape. The teeth are punched out and sharpened and the blade is tensioned by a rolling and hammering process. The handle is attached and before packing every saw is test-played by a “violinist”. Only about 500 of these saws are made each year. Each saw is labeled Stradivarius. Most of the world’s professional players use this saw.

Handmade Steel String Guitars Looking for that special sound in a

handmade steel string guitar? These guitars are luthier-built in Mexico of quality solid woods and have a great tone, response, and a big voice. They offer a real alternative to the typical Oriental factory-built guitars in their price range, having a distinctive individual character usually found only in guitars costing much more. We offer two somewhat different steel string guitar models. Both are made with solid cedar tops, natural finish solid Palo Cedro Rojo back and sides, rosewood fingerboards, and have abalone ornamentation. One model is based on a dreadnaught body shape, with a standard steel-string type neck feel. The other model is more similar to a typical Mexican classical guitar, but with alterations to accommodate the metal strings and their greater string tension. The neck also has a slight radius curve facilitating fingering with the steel strings, and is somewhat wider than the standard steel string neck.

Renaissance Guitar & Kit Designed with a pear-shaped body

and angular peghead for that early music flair. Please note the optional decorations available for enhancing this instrument. We let you choose how many of the “extras” you want to purchase. We normally offer these guitars with steel strings for the brightest and fullest sound. But this guitar works very well with classical (nylon) strings too. Nylon strings are easier on the fingers if you are a beginning player, and they produce a softer, more mellow sound. These guitar kits require some patience, because you will want to assemble the parts carefully on a very flat table, making sure of perfect alignment, so the instrument will play well. Instructions include lots of illustrations to make each step clear. With careful attention, you’ll build a beautiful instrument. The neck is already shaped for you, and the sides are easy to bend under hot running water. There is even an adjustable truss rod to keep the neck from warping. 6 strings, steel or nylon, laminated spruce front, laminated walnut/cherry sides and back, mahogany neck, walnut fingerboard. 38” long, 15” wide, weighs only 3-1/2 lbs.

The Traveler

A true mini 5 string banjo has remarkable tone and playability due to a totally unique design. A custom Remo 10” Pre-Tuned head eliminates the need for the normal 24 tension brackets and other parts.

Short Neck 5 String Banjo Based on the piccolo banjo of

the late 1800’s Banjo Clubs, this instrument has a standard 11 inch head, open back mahogany rim, 18 tuning lugs, and a 17 fret neck that is only 121/2 inches long. With its shorter scale, this banjo will tune to open C, CGCEG, as if it were a G tuned banjo capo’d at the fifth fret. Of course all the other 5 string tunings are available, but will be higher in pitch. Other options include removing the 5th string and setting it up either as an early 20th century tango banjo/tenor banjo, with CGDA tuning; or for ukulele players, GCEA, making this a great banjo uke.

Wood Top Travel Banjo This instrument is the perfect

travelling companion for the 5 string banjo player. It is smaller than a standard 5 string banjo, has a spruce body, nato neck, and rosewood fingerboard.

Its light weight, small size and great sound make this an ideal choice for camping, vacations, music workshops, beach outings, or any other time a compact banjo would be welcome. With the wood top, it also serves as another musical option for the 5 string banjoist looking for additional tone color. BAN023 $227.95

Chikara

Similar to the Jogia Sarangi, the Chikara is smaller (23 x 7.5 x 4.5 inches) with the same amount of playing and sympathetic strings. A very well made instrument that can be used in Afghan, Moroccan, and other styles of music in addition to the folkloric Indian music it is associated with. 3 gut strings, metal sympathetics, skin resonator; with bow. STR177 $170.00

Jogia Sarangi

The Jogia Sarangi has three main playing strings of gut and seven metal sympathetic strings. The instrument has no frets and the strings are stopped by the sides of the fingernails and are not pressed onto a fingerboard. This is an earlier version of the classical sarangi, and is used by folk musicians. The bow is rather broad and tightly held palm upwards, the middle and ring fingers being placed between the hair and the stick. The sarangi is made of a single block of “tun” wood carved out by hand and has a compact and asymmetrical shape. The body or resonator is covered with goat skin on which is placed an ivory or bone bridge. The neck, which is a continuation of the body, becomes slightly narrower at the tops and ends with a peg-box. 27 x 9.5 x 6”. STR176 $250.00

Kercapi

The Kercapi has 2 strings and is 31” tall. Beautifully carved with a wonderful sound like a fretless banjo. Used by the Batak people, an ancient people indigenous to the volcanic area of Sumatra. Considered fierce warriors, their contact with neighboring people and the rest of the world was minimal until the arrival of missionaries in the mid-19th century. As one of the few cannibalistic tribes known to have a written script of their own, the Batak's history, religion, rituals, medicine and even magic potions have survived for generations. Much of the Batak's beliefs remain and have simply been integrated with the world of today. STR150 $280.00

Hohner Extreme Bend Harmonica The new XB-40 Harmonica was designed by

Hohner USA’s own Rick Epping and offers the player complete bending freedom with 10 holes and 40 reeds. Precision engineered and manufactured under the highest quality standards, the Hohner XB-40’s revolutionary design permits a level of expression and note bending capability never before possible on any harmonica. On a regular 10-hole diatonic, or Marine Band type harmonica, the standard blues note bending technique involves an interaction between two reeds, one blow and one draw. On this style harmonica, only the higher pitched of the two notes from any given reed cell can be bent and then only to a point somewhat above that of the lower pitched reed. The XB-40 overcomes this limitation by incorporating an additional set of reeds, tuned so that all twenty of the harmonica’s notes can be bent using the standard blues harp bending technique. Using a system of patented valve chambers, the auxiliary reeds come into play only during note bending. The XB-40 is tuned so that every note can be bent a whole tone, with an additional semitone bend on the 3-draw to complete the chromatic scale in the first octave.

Traditional African Djembe Imported from Ghana,

this Djembe is authentic in design, craftsmanship, and materials. Carved by hand from a large log of indigenous timber, this drum offers the full bodied, resonant “punch” one expects from a “real” Djembe.

Each drum offers a hand designed, (African) nature specific engraving. These engravings are each unique art works designed by the artist engraver. No two designs are alike, and so each drum is a one of a kind instrument. We can’t say enough about these drums!

Nomad Standard Gourd Drum Nomad Gourd Drums,

the culmination of nature, technology, and ingenuity, offer one of the more unique hand drums we have ever seen. The shells are crafted of organically grown gourds; the interior gourd shell lined with a specially formulated fiber resin to ensure durability and fantastic tone. Headed with natural, cured animal hide and tensioned like a Djembe, Nomad’s give the player incredible tonal depth and range, from the lowest “dooms” of the biggest Darabuka to the tightest, sharpest conga slap. The “Standard” Nomad, specifically, sounds in bright, solid middle tones and crisp high tones. Because these drums are organically grown, sizes do vary slightly (8 to 10 inch diameter and 12 to 15 inch length). Best of all, you get to choose the color of your drum (no extra charge)! Nomads are available in a natural, oil based stain, or, if you rather, choose any of the twelve basic colors of the color spectrum! Once you have your color choice, you can also pick your drumhead design (no extra charge)! Nomad’s offer the option of having your drum head tie-dyed to match the color of the drum shell. The unique head dye technique does not color the sound of the drum in any way whatsoever, preserving the instruments tremendous tone while adding great overall visual appeal! If you prefer, the drum is also offered with a standard, white animal hide head. All Nomad drums include a carrying handle and simple shoulder strap. We can’t say enough good things about these drums! If unique is what you are after, the Nomad’s are the perfect choice! If tone is your thing, the Nomad’s deliver! If awe inspiring looks is what you need, Nomad definitely gives you that! Cases and stands are currently not available, but please check back in the future.

Rag-Dung

The most spectacular Tibetan ritual instruments are long copper rag-dung trumpets. These conically bored natural horns vary in length from 3’-20’. They are made in sections that can be telescoped for portability. Each horn has a fairly shallow cup mouthpiece and like the Western bugle is capable of producing different tones. The basic use of these horns is to play a drone for chanting. The drone is sometimes in 3rds or 5ths. There are also smaller hand held trumpets with dragon heads at the bell end. The players tend to concentrate on one note from which they slide up and down.

Comes with case. SPS220 $818.00 B20 Spruce/Cherry The B20 is the foundation of all the Norman guitars. The solid spruce top and lacquer finish alone distinguish this guitar.

The B20’s tone works beautifully for recording and blends nicely when amplified on stage. Comes with case. SPS491 $548.00 ST40 Cedar/Mahogany The unique mahoganycherry-mahogany lamination used in the back and sides of the ST40 combines with a solid cedar top to produce a beautifully mellow sounding instrument.
