Hi Moondog thanks that's most helpful and really appreciated! I'll give it a go and hopefully will post some stuff later. I'm not really a technophobe - I used a lot of IT programmes at work and can manage to update the Helix without losing my saved settings - but this copy and paste stuff has...

Yes I remember this now - it's a good tune though - and while I would in no way want to criticise the incredible Mr Page - the notes are getting strangled particularly at the end, as he's not holding it properly. As you'll see from the other videos, the gurdy is either held at an angle or with...

PS I see Faun also use a nyckelharpa (that's the odd-looking bowed instrument)!

Hi All, apologies for not replying before now but I've had a lot on. The films are great however one of the reasons I haven't replied is that I've been trying to paste some videos from YouTube: but can I do it?? If someone could show me how to do this I'll then post some! Yours in...

Hi Moondog thanks for starting this thread about what is a unique, distinctive and brilliant instrument! Welcome to the world of hurdy gurdies. Along with pipe organs, they're probably one of the earliest and longest-surviving mechanical instruments , with origins dating back to the middle...

Yes count me in please. We have tawny owls (they look similar to the screech owl I think?) sitting in the trees out the back, and they do screech on those dark foggy nights.......

Yes it's not been great, as apart from the appalling domestic and international situation we lost my father-in-law in June so it's been hard, especially on his 90-year old wife. However things are getting worked out so here's to a better, more hopeful, and positive (as well as twanging/rockin'l...

Hi Marco, I'm sorry to read about the issues you've had with this guitar, and hope you're able to resolve these. To return to the comments about PRS, yes I've seen this as well, and agree that most of it's completely uninformed, and often a cheap dig at people they perceive as having enough...

Looks more like Merlot to me, but fantastic anyway!!

Seasons greetings and compliments of the season to all!

Welcome

Yes I can confirm that having checked the book it's definitely Classic Electric!

I've just acquired an S2 35th Anniversary CU24. I missed out first time round. It's an ex-demo and they're not that easy to find over here in the UK so was pleased to get it (as an ex-demo it's got a few dings but plays beautifully). They're the 'S' pickups though I can't recall or remember...

Yes congrats on getting that one it looks fantastic!Peach are very nice people yo deal with - I've had a couple of PRS's from them and they've always been good and efficient in getting things to you (well packaged too). It sounds like there are deals around, especially if you're buying from...

I agree. His understated yet tasteful playing has persuaded me to part with more cash than I'd like to admit! He's a top drawer player and seems a really nice guy. He's also done a great version of Led Zep's Ramble on (sorry but I'm hopeless with copying links, but it'savailableon YouTube) with...
