Finding Instruments

Most music shops can sell you a tin whistle, a guitar, or a fiddle. To find a bodhran, a wooden flute, a cittern or uillean pipes you might need to look a little harder. There are some excellent builders and specialty music shops in Ontario who can help you. If you are a builder, please contact me to get listed here.
