[Harp-L] Re: What other instruments do you play?

[Bob Loomis <miltloomis@xxxxxxxxx>]

I sing, play guitar, ukulele, guitar-tuned plectrum banjo, autoharp, flute, percussion, and harmonica, though the last mentioned is in danger of joining electric bass and mandolin as one I used to play. Just isn't enough time for all. Actually, lately I've been playing more flute. It's actually the instrument I am best at.

I play mostly autoharp and uke when singing. I've also tried playing fiddle and woodenflute, but again just don't have time to do them justice. Our band Old Dog has a gig coming up Nov. 8 for an organization called Save Mount Diablo. I leave harmonica to John Barclay in that group. In Awed Ducks, my other band, Peter Sproul is the harpist. These days when I do play harp, I prefer the Hohner Celestes. Oh, and I got headed toward flute by playing recorder back in the dear Dead days of the '60s.

Howard Levy and Charlie McCoy are known for doubling on other

guitar player, others on the list double on sax. There are many fine 
singers amongst us as well.

I've got an unusual one - I double on baroque recorder. For those 
interested, one of my recent concerts is at

Anyone else double on unusual instruments?
