Very sad to say my old friend Ms Kitty passed away over the weekend. Her health had been in decline for a while but it was still fairly sudden. I will miss her immensely but am glad to have had her with me through all the twists and turns of the last 13 years.

I got this tanbur on eBay several years ago from an Iranian living in Spain. I hardly do it justice, but playing for the trees and the creek, Lebanese, Palestinian, Iranian people, Israelis and Americans fighting against the oppressive darkness in our societies.
“When I was a child, they brought me a partridge one day. That partridge loved the sound of the tanbur. As soon as I picked up my instrument, the bird would sit right next to me. And once I started playing she would become intoxicated by the music and begin to sing, gripping my hand and pecking at it with her beak; that state of drunkenness made her completely wild.”

Hadn’t played my harp guitar in a while. This is the Holloway Stephen Bennett model I got in 2016 and used for The True Light and a few other things. It’s in need of some crack repairs and new strings but isn’t in terrible shape 🌱✨
Main playing strings are DADEAC# and the extended basses are ddaaaD.
