What a beautiful melody, Frank, and so appropriate for a new grandchild. I can just imagine it being played above her bed on one of those little mobiles to help her to sleep. When she is older she...

Another fine set which suits the tenor guitar, Ondrej.

What a fine performance, Bren. Great to see a band playing live pre-Covid!

For what it's worth I suggest you experiment with hammer-on and pull-off techniques on those tunes - works well on pipe tunes too, especially on 2/4 marches! It is not a direct substitute for the...

Lovely tunes, fine playing and a great tone from your tenor, Ondrej.

A lovely piece, and very well played by both of you.

Beautiful instrument, Graham. Very tastefully selected parts and woods, and I love those position markers.

A fine departure from your usual offerings, Toomas, and a lovely sound with that picking technique.
For those who have not heard Toomas's playing before, he has an excellent YT channel where he...

What a great ragtime vibe you have there, Frank! Great mix of melody and backing too.

Yet another little gem, Jo. You certainly have a real flair for producing those amazing instruments, and this one sounds great too. Will the customer also play it with the quill-like pick you are...

The link works, but I cannot get the other one to open either. Lovely tune and playing by the two lads.

I like your use of single note and chordal phrases in the two videos, Ondrej.

And you also managed to sit on the same chair and have that same accordion positioned just behind. What a well-desciplined set of musicians you have assembled there - are they all Welsh, and if so...

Thanks, pops1. I was in fact referring to the columns, as Jo has informed us in her reply.

Another fine piece of creative craftsmanship, Jo. You really have a wonderful skill in recreating those old instruments.
Are the two thin posts which are on either side of the neck block structural...

Two fine performances, Ondrej. Interesting hearing both instruments individually.

Another fascinating instrument and very unusual melody, Jo. You come up with some very lovely instruments that seem almost unique.

A friend of mine who is also a mandolin player went along to the local fiddle workshop ayear or two back as he fancied taking up the fiddle. One of the long-time fiddle players said that my friend...

A very enjoyable performance and arrangement, Mark. Willie had such an individual way with his phrasing in his songs, and you capture the flavour well here.

Look also under the same label that Eric mentions and in the Social Groups submenu you will find loads of material, especially in the Song-A-Week Social Group, but lots of categories under this menu...

And I always thought that Mr Sanders was the founder of Kentucky Fried Chicken! :))

Frank, a lovely tune and a great story. Your pictures add a lot to the overall experience. Thanks too for your e-mail.

A lovely instrument. The bookmatched walnut back is really lovely and it sounds great too.

The zoom will give you very good quality, Sherry, as will Audacity! With Audacity it depends on the microphone you use to record through. I often use a Tascam DR-05 (similar to the Zoom family) and...

Sherry, for what it's worth, here is a simple technique I use. You will see the results on many of my postings over in the SAW group or on my YT channel (link in signature).
I record the music...
