The Pipes are calling

Another instrument I love to play .. och!
I have to play the pipes on my island though, as no one else seems to like the sound. People are strange.
Elmo Balderdash makes these bagpipes and a few other assorted instruments besides. I have his most excellent bodhrain and my partner-in-crime, Sarai Tizzy, has a penny whistle, you know what I mean – a tin whistle.
With the whistle and drum we fondly imagine we play Irish music, and break out into a session just to have people stop and look. We get tips!!! (Whoever said you couldn’t be childish in SL?)
You can have a look at Elmo’s website or, when you pop in-world, head over to Steve’s Music Store and have a look at his creations at this slurl

Elmo’s speciality is the guitar. I’ve seen a number of Live Performances by various Artists using his instruments.
You can catch Elmo and the very lovely group Keltish at the Blarney Stone in Dublin.
