After resisting (just) the temptation of a 1923 Martin 3M soprano that’s being sold through the Ukulele Underground forum, someone is now waving a 1920s Martin 2K soprano under my nose (next model down, but made from Hawaiian koa). “Luckily” I’m still skint and can’t afford this one either. But what a beauty… #Ukulele #1920s #MusicalInstruments

🎼 A touch of musical history to start the day. This is a lirone and here's what it sounds like. Emilia Benjamin introduces this rare instrument, also known as Heaven’s Hoover. #Music #musicalinstruments #musichistory #history #globalmuseum

While we are on a music kick, lets listen to what ancient Persia sounded like around 1400 BC? Sarah Parsaei performs on the Arjan harp — a historic instrument with roots going back nearly 3,400 years — in Tehran, Iran. #globalmuseum #music #Persian #musicalinstruments #history

Sighted out back of the Grey St Salami in HamilTron, Aotearoa, an electric organ. Presumably left for the op shop staff to deal with. No idea if it works, but .... #HamilTron #Aotearoa #NZ #MusicalInstruments

Just peeking into the rabbit hole that is accordion straps. I'm still just a novice player, using the very heavy 120 bass accordion I inherited from my grandad. It's probably at least WWII vintage, and the leather straps are showing their age. I've adjusted the straps one hole just to take the strain off the weakest part, but definitely need to replace them sooner rather than later. So tonight I learnt that it is a 120 bass (never counted them until today, just noted there were lots of them), the left strap should be longer than the right (✅), and some people use something called a bass strap (none here!) #accordions #MusicalInstruments
