For many millions of people, music captures the essential spirit of life. Modern living so often leaves us residing in a thin surface layer, masking a depth and beauty of experience, as we pursue disposable goals the world presses upon us. In music, all of that can fall away in a moment by reaching through the surface to all the incredible things beyond - culture, creativity, celebration, connection to places and people - all the things that bring us closer to who we really are and the happiness that brings.
Play music from a time or place which means something to you. In some parts of the world they believe when you play music it is your ancestors speaking through you. Connect to your roots and culture - in today's modern world our sense of identity is more valuable than ever.

"It's a beautiful instrument and plays like a dream. Good strong clear tone, handles well with all the ornaments, and plays beautifully on slow airs and yet handles the sharp curves of a smoking fast reel
