Day 230 - Folk Music Instruments

8/18/2010
These are the latest additions to my folk music collection:
the stringed instrument on the top is from Albania;
Becca brought the top flute from Romania;
the long center flute is made of birch bark and is from my recent trip to Norway;
and the bottom flute came from Greece.

The Romanian flute is played sort of like a Kazoo but with fingering
and the Norwegian one doesn't have any finger holes, you change the sound by overblowing and using your finger on the end.
