Went to an antiques fair today and found this, which was clearly
irresistible. Made in 1880, it is a lauten - a cross between a lute
and a guitar, and it sounds brilliant.


That looks lovely and it must be fun to play. I'm very envious of those
who can play an instrument. I've tried keyboard and guitars many times
but just can't relate the sound produced to the physical action
required if you see what I mean, bloody frustrating.


Ken. My own teacher maintains that anyone and
everyone has the potential to play an instrument,
it's just a matter of finding the right one. If neither
piano nor guitar suit you, try a brass or woodwind
instument (both are easier in the respect that you
only have to produce one note at a time)

It's never too late to start.
