I have arranged my collection by Family, then Sub-family, then maker. American and European Instruments are first, "Ethnic" instruments last. The categories and names are my own. Some of these reflect my deliberate re-organization of some of the more obscure stringed instruments. The hybrids have been placed in the more logical (primary characteristic) family - some are actually closer to being in-between two families (I seem to specialize in the hybrid "lost souls"! |
by Gregg Miner, as part of www.minermusic.com)
Family | Sub-family | Maker | Type Number in ( ) = courses, from (looking at face of instrument) left to right (bass to treble). Number in [ ] = total strings within course(s) |
