31ST July : Importance

Today we are celebrating unusual musical instruments! Why? Well, because we can! Ever heard of a Thumb Piano, Lute, Mandolin, African Talking Drum, or a Harpsichord? You can pretty much make music on anything.

This day is set aside to look at musical instruments that stray a bit from the norm. So, I went to the vast handmade shopping site at Etsy to see what Etsy artists are currently offering in unusual musical instruments. Come see what I found!

Did you know? Music is used in waiting rooms and when you get put on hold because it gives the illusion that less time has passed by.

Celtic Harp by Ron Cook

Did you know? Elvis Presley's house Graceland was named after original owner's daughter, Grace. It is the second most visited private residence in the United States, beat only by the White House.
