Instruments

I just got some more lovely new instruments from Choroi, a dutch firm, who hand make their instruments. The thing about handmade instruments is that they have so much life about the sound...it's really alive with harmonics and is rich and warm. The lovely hand-held harps and bourden lyres simple rock! Its true that you get what you pay for. I did some work for the Vale of Glamorgan County Council and after some initial anxiety about the instruments the participants were amazed at the music that they created, using these harps among others.

Have a look at the pictures...
