Couple of lyre tunes

 Had a little play with my 16 string lyre harp. First I played a Vangelis tune (Missing)

Then I picked a piece from the recorder book . I was finding it tricky on recorder and not enjoying the high notes. So I began learning it on lyre harp. The piece uses dotted notes (staccato) and trills.

Baritone re-string

 I got some Living Water GCEA baritone strings, in low G, unwound, and strung her up today. Took some turns for that high A, its very tight. And there was a spare A string in the set.

 Piano + strings. I need to reduce the Strings voice's volume 

Re-string x 2

 The strings on my Fender acoustic were too light, it was affecting tuning, so I decided to get some medium weight strings for it (Martin Monels, 13-56). My partner ordered them for me and as a surprise she got a second set, for my Tanglewood, which has had the same strings since it was bought, back in 2011!

So today I finished stringing them up. Unfortunately I lost one of the Tanglewood's original bridge pins, so I alternated with some black pins I got from Wish.

A guitar for David

My 12 year old step-son expressed an interest in learning guitar, so we found this full-size classical in a second hand shop, price £20 (about $40)

It seemed to have a decent tone and the sticker inside said Taygus - handmade. However it badly needed a restring, the bottom E was actually from a steel-string guitar and had a totally different tone to the other 5! Here it is before the restring: And here it is after a re-string, (something I've never done before!) with rather cool looking black and silver nylons
