Competition
The competition may take a moment to load, please be patient!

Thanks to everyone who entered the summer competition! The winner was Emily Hall from Walberton who won the talking drum with these excellent lines of verse to explain how she would put it to use.


I'd tear off the postage and wrapping
And hope that my neighbours were napping
They'd leap from their sofas,
the miserable loafers
and curse my continual tapping
For lo! it'd always be playing
And who knows what it'd be saying?
For the power of music
Is so analgesic
To me, but to them it's dismaying


Try the instruments for yourself! We keep a huge and varied stock of new and secondhand instruments.

HAMMERED DULCIMER

   
Definition: Large trapezoidal zither with many strings in pairs, 3s or 4s stretched over long (sometimes individually moveable) bridges. Played with small wooden or cane hammers. Played in British Isles and North America. Closely related to the Hungarian cymbalom, German/Swiss hackbrett, Iraqi and Iranian santir (probably the origin of all of these), Indian santoor, Korean yangum and Chinese yang qin.
