[Talk on free reed instruments]

Good morning all I have never given a talk before but have said I will talk on free reed instruments to my supper club about 30 members.

I shall start with the Jaw harp then move on to harmonica concertina melodeon and melodica I have all these instruments so can display them on a table.

Any advise please the talk will be in the new year so time to get it sorted.

Thanks Ron

Hi Gorwel yes I brought Feather 2 it was a bit of an effort to fit them so I made some stiff leather straps and fitted them to the screw that holds the thumb strap then attached the mic with the clips it worked but not really well I don't use the mic's any more .

good luck with your's Ron
