Title: What the heck are these percussion instruments?
Post by: liquid8 on April 08, 2008, 06:56 AM
Help! - I could do with some light being shed on my ignorance here.

I've been asked by a client to auction a batch of ethnic indigenous percussion instruments via ebay but I don't know what most of them are!

Any help identifying them would be greatly appreciated!

Cheers - Andy
