Wow! This is amazing! I've been contemplating how to make one myself, but I was thinking more from the poles, not bamboo wood (similar to the PVC harps)....
... Well, Peter, us knitters now have bamboo yarn to knit with; it's very soft and pleasant. I have seen floors and furniture made from bamboo, so why not...
Yes, I love my jersey knit bamboo underwear, and a friend of mine has bamboo sheets. It reminds me of rayon, or maybe a cross between rayon and linen, and it...

Here's a wonderful version of "Dindirindin" with arpa doppia, guitar and viola da gamba, goat toenails and voice, (I've got some of those goat toenails!). ...
Super - thanks, Peter. So where's the source of goat-nails, then? ... or lamas as they reckon here. With one "l" .... Is it ethical trade to take Bhuddist...
Actually I've never been sure if ours are goat hooves or llama toenails. You can get them in Bolivia, or northern Argentina if you want to go to the source,...
Serious Respect, Man!!!!!! ... that is, for the extra source. Thank you most hugely. Wondrous. Enjoy the washing up, meanwhile ;-) .. can you get special...

Yes, lots of chat last week about it at the clairseach list and at GLIISS.com. My take on it is that the II symbol is a divider and maybe a direction to...

For what it's worth, 1101 works very well at the beginning of three out of 4 lines of "Edi Beo Thou Heven Quene": 1101 0101 1101 0101 0101 0101 1101 0101 Dunno...
Here's another clue. The Green Man, popular symbol of fertility in medieval times, is clearly shown on the chest area of this figure, looking down with many...
That's an interesting idea about the green man. I was wondering if the woman was Margaret Erskine, James V's favourite mistress. Maybe the tune was important...
Not bad. I would have cleared up the confusion between the Victorian "Celtic" harp and the "classical" wire-strung harp; i.e.; how the Celtic harp is a modern...
