The trouble with water, toilets, etc. Not just Victorian... |
Updating this siteI'm updating - lots of this site was getting very old and clunky.Other bits still work quite well. It takes AGES to do it all, and you'll quickly see that some of the pages on this Resource section have the new look, others don't. I hope that the new ones will gradullay get more and more - but please be patient meanwhile, and if you find any broken links, please let me know. Thanks! |
Teachers & Parents:There are some links to sites outside this one. When I put them here I checked them all, but obviously I can't constantly check them; they're here in good faith but I can't be responsible for any changes they may make.If you do meet anything unsuitable here, please let me know. Thanks. | |
INSTRUMENTSof all the periods I coverThe Bagpipes & Shawm pages
The Strings pages Part 1:including Harps, Psaltery, & Dulcimer The Strings pages Part 2:including Lutes, Cittern & Hurdy Gurdy, AND the altogether rare and strange Key Fiddle The Recorders and Tabor pipes page:Technically they're called fipple flutes.  The Concertina & Squeeze Box page:which is really exactly what is says.  The Very Rare Two Chanter Bagpipes page - a puzzle to music historians.
