Hi. I have a very nice Oakwood short scale tenor tuned e a d g. I 've been playing for about six months. Have changed the strings a couple of times in that period for the same gauge as the originals but I have never been entirely happy with the G. Although the tuner shows it is in tune it always sou...

I have for sale my Harper tuneable whistle. It has the engraved head and a D and C feet. All in good condition with only slight marks. I will be offering this up on Ebay in the near future but thought to offer here to see if there is any interest. Please PM me. I bought this directly from Steve a fe...

I would also like to let everyone know that due to the pressure of work, having just started a new job I may be forced into ...

Hello everyone. I have a question to throw into the ring. Banjo's to be more exact tenor banjo's. I would be interested to hear opinion on the best value and favourites for Irish/celtic music. I ask as being a left handed player I do not have a great deal to try in the average music shop. The other ...
