Page 2 Folk Music Center Field Trip

Larry plays the mouthbow while his protegé plays the "clogging man" from Appalachia.

The "frog"

Larry holds a "Noah Bell," used for sheep, and above the mountain dulcimer, you can see a larger black bell with a saddlebag looking pouch above it. This is an elephant bell! Can you imagine losing an elephant?

The mountain dulcimer from Appalachia sounded so beautiful in Larry's hands.

The mandolin from Italy

The bouzouki from Greece and Turkey.

One of the many banjos in the store gets a workout.

A resonator guitar from the United States. A traditional guitar was adapted to produce a louder sound. Larry demonstrated the different ways to play this instrument.

Shopping after the field trip
