Robin Clarke, Instrument-making workshop
Glenesk Retreat and Folk Museum 11:00-16:00 Monday 17 September
£5
Originally from the Welsh Marches, Robin Clarke built his first
musical instrument at
the age of ten. This consisted of a length of wood from a biscuit
tin as a sound box,
fishing line for strings and wood screws for tuning pegs. Since then
he has made a
range of instruments from various materials. Among these are
bodhrans, a variety
of woodwind instruments and complex stringed instruments such as
mandolins and
hurdy-gurdies. Robin will show you how to make your own musical
instrument at
this workshop.
