Jolly good - thanks 👍
We have spent most of January in Trinidad & Tobago. Today we have to get back to Germany (seeing lots of snow in the news).
Not as active contributor in the forum as in the past, but I do read what's going on.
 
Finally!!! NRD! New Rick-O-Day!

Nice, that looks very handy (and something I could have used at my last gig). Which model/variant is this?

Hey buddy,

Just tried the “dwarf” with the 2x10” cab of my Ashdown 2x10 combo… What a loud and clean little monster, it sounded as loud as the combo itself, maybe a little different character in sound, the word that comes to my mind is “cleaner” (The Ashdown head has some “grit” on the sound, even though it’s a solid state head with no overdrive or anything like that).

It is the smallest and simplest of the Gnome line, no USB port connection. Gnome 200, I think.
 
Ooh I've been missing out! Nice little amp @Nachobassman ! Yes clean and polite sounding, not gritty. It has a place though!
I own the Trace Elliot Elf for this purpose, which has some warmth going on but not a lot.

Thank you for sharing - I never heard of one. Would you mind elaborating a bit on the cultural history- just a little bit-

The tagelharpa is an old instrument from Northern Europe, the exact origins are a bit unclear, but it has been used at least in Scandinavia, Estonia and Finland. The name most likely stems from an old word for horse hair, from which the strings are traditionally made. It has been used since medieval times, although from which point one started playing it with the bow is a bit uncertain.

Today the instrument is seemingly becoming a bit more popular again, and is used heavily by bands such as Wardruna, Heilung and Nytt Land.

Here's a demonstration from the guy that made my instrument:

Thank you for sharing- I just added a little bit of Nordic referencing myself in my Latitude Infinity thread although it probably isn't as historically as yours- but I believe you'll enjoy it nonetheless- there are a few phrases in Norse you can check me on!
