Some native flute

 Playing on my Flutes of the Forest native American style flute, and first I played something from the heart, which is how NAF is usually played. 

Then I found a piece online for 5 hole NAF and learned it. Its called Land of the Silver Birch. My eyes lit up when I saw that because I've played that on my classical guitar a while ago. Its a piece in one of The Guitarist's Way books! Its a bit more difficult on NAF though, especially as its written for a 5 hole flute, so I kept the 3rd hole covered. And to be honest, I prefer playing it as a 5 hole flute anyway. It seems more authentic.

A Kalimba and a little dog

 Another surprise from my other half, a 21 note Kalimba now tuned to the F major scale.

Also I sat at the piano the other day and played a piece based on a riff I played on my Lyre Harp. I had a little dog figure on the keyboard so I named it after him.
