String Instruments
April 7, 2008 12:14 pm ArtsI am so used to seeing only a few string instruments, like the violin, viola, bass, banjo and guitar, that it is always nice to hear about other instruments being used. I like it when artists use more unusual instruments like the mountain dulcimer, lute, Celtic harp, or sitar to get a little different sound in their music. It is becoming more common to find these types of instruments used in popular music, so they are becomming a little more well known, but most people still only think of the more common strings, mainly because they are more common, at least here in the US.
