They remind me a little of dulcimers. There is a group of dulcimer players here in my town that I've heard on several occasions.

Imagine, being married to someone who can write songs and compose music for you.<br /><br />Susie, I also bought the Christmas CD, and am not disappointed at all!<br /><br />Thistle Cove, I need to hear that song, I spin my wool fairly fast, wonder if I could keep time with it. Do you think you will visit France to see the lavender there?<br /><br />Lanny, will the soap be a gift for Christmas? ( hint , hint)I actually thought of Grandma Moses AND Tasha Tudor as I contemplated learning to play one of these beautiful instruments. Won't say no for sure, but most likely not.<br /><br />Noble Pig, I want to know if there is a lavender festival there in your neck of the woods. I will attend if there is.<br /><br />Deanna, yes, we had a lovely time. And how can it not be good if the fragrance of lavender permeates everything? ( if you like lavender )<br /><br />Aydrey, as I look at the instruments the details are so well done and unique, the instruments themselves are a work of art.<br /><br />Jennifer, the water wheel was a-turning with water gently sloshing out as I took the picture. The farm was so beautiful, we have decided we want to visit the lavender farms next year a week or so BEFORE the festival.<br /><br />Karen, music, especially beautiful music really does inspire, and soothe the soul. I have always been drawn to this type of music, and when life is bogging me down, I retreat to my home and listen to such music and read God's Word...soothes my soul and helps put things in perspective.<br /><br />BT, I think one of those instruments would be beautiful just sitting on a table to enjoy the beauty, but that would be such a waste...they are meant to be played, and sung to.<br /><br />Nancy, the street fair smelled WONDERFUL! Lavender mixed in with yummy barbecue and baked goods ....lavender lemonade available everywhere...lavender plants, lavender wands and wreaths, a bounty of beautiful sights and scents!<br /><br />Mary, my own experience with lavender mirrors yours. Apparently some of the lavenders are very good for cooking as they are fragrant, but not over overpoweringly perfumy...we bought 2 of the cooking lavender plants and will be trying them.KathyB.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13076933273610590290noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3099877799576584609.post-58048307799597436092009-07-22T11:42:28.273-07:002009-07-22T11:42:28.273-07:00I have a poor signal today so I am catching up on ...I have a poor signal today so I am catching up on the mobile. I will have to come back and watch and listen! Someone above mentioned the dulcimer. I love the sound of that instrument! And I would imagine these instruments play peaceful beautiful music as well. I really am fond of lavender. At times it smells floral to me, and at other times it smells grassy.Maryhttp://www.anniesgoathill.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3099877799576584609.post-85718880106677065492009-07-22T04:30:49.769-07:002009-07-22T04:30:49.769-07:00I'll bet it smelled wonderful there!
