Very nice too. I've always wanted to hear someone play one of those things with a row of keys along the bridge which look like false teeth.

any volunteers?

Well it was worth the effort - I thought it was very attractive and a welcome opportunity to hear an English guittar.

Here's a youtube video of Rob Mackillop. You can actually see him and the (battered but fine-sounding) instrument:

It's interesting that Scottish tunes survive in plucked instrument sources (guittar, lute, mandore) but - and I may be wrong here! - no Irish nor Welsh. (Well Parry of Ruabon did publish some Airs for the guittar/guitar/cittern thing).
