So, Ibbie, "Ziggy played guitar" from the looks of how your axe is strung.

Wolf, perhaps if we ever jammed, it could be multiple bodhrans (which tend to develop hypnotic rhythms) or my bodhran to your flute (good for dancing).

But bodhran's only what I double on. I play the Highland bagpipe. Different sort of woodwind... a compass of nine notes, A to A plus a G on the bottom, one dynamic -- fff -- and no rests. Scale Of Bagpipe is a pentatonic-with-supplements approximation of B flat, and that is the only scale it plays -- oh, and my A is everyone else's B flat too.
