LimberJack, folk instrument. A wooden doll with jointed limbs. Handcrafted in Mt Airy, North Carolina USA. You place a flat wooden board under your leg - while sitting on a solid hard chair. Bounce your knee to get a rhythm going with the board. The wooden doll has a stick/dowel in his back. Hold the stick/man over your bouncing board, and he will dance. His wooden feet tapping the flat board plays a percussion rhythm. I took him with me to our drum circle this afternoon. Everyone was fascinated with his dancing skills. I think I'll bring him again sometime.

Our local drum circle gets together on the first and third Sunday of every month, at the public library. We also enjoy playing other percussion instruments
Today, I brought LimberJack along. He had a great time.
Everyone was fascinated with him. I might bring him more often. #folkinstrument

My personal Christmas card to all of you; of Liarosa playing langeleik (a traditional string instrument) at the holidays. Merry Christmas!

Drawn by Abraham Douenel from my idea and character.

This is a german Waldzither from my grandpa. I am currently learning how to play it.

…you’re actually beginning on *D* Dorian (D E F G A B C D), and you can now play a minor melody on the instrument and still use the lower two strings as a drone. (3/3)

Meet the #MountainDulcimer —a folk instrument I’m using on one of my scores. It has frets that only allow playing in a major key. Can you think how I could play a minor melody on the tonic pitch? Let me know in the comments — I’ll post the solution tomorrow!
