    Lovely photos and interesting room!

    I think its a Yueqin on left and Pipa on right, old Chinese instruments(MrsA watches a lot of Chinese&Korean movies on youtube). Gusle is new to me.

    Our visitors from Seattle who stayed with us last week were really into ukulele playing.
    They had a carbon fibre electronic model. Also a hand-built by Luthier wooden one. Sounded a bit different to our £40 plywood job.

      Love the one with you at the harpsichord. SO midcentury.

        And your feet can't reach the floor. So cute.

            It's rare to find a violin on its side in a bookcase... or a concertina, both of which I've learned.
            But is that a hunting horn on top of the bookcase!

              Yes, I think so. It was held together with tape. 😄 I don’t know what happened to it, I remember Steve getting it to make some noise, so it was around til ‘fairly’ recently. There was also a really cool wooden flute with some silver keys, but that disappeared too.

                Oh and thank you for the instrument names! It does look like a Yueqin. I have the purchase receipt somewhere. The other instrument has animal skin covering the body. I will take some closeups of it. I love the ukulele, though I haven’t been playing much lately. I have a tenor and a baritone, and Steve learned the bass so he could play with me, but he has Dupuytren’s contracture in both hands and has not been able to play for about a year. He’s going to have surgery this fall.

                  I was born in the mid-century and my mother's best friend played the harpsichord. Lol.

                    My unekele story after living in Hawaii for eighteen years-- it's name translates to-- "jumping flea."

                    It's a Portuguese instrument brought to Hawaii by cowboys who migrated there to work on the ranches.
