Gday Ken

In Tasmania we do have craftsmen making all kinds of string instruments from
native Tasmanian woods. I don't know which woods. I have a Tasmanian native
olive B flat Irish whistle and a double flageolet made from olive. Have seen
whistles also made from tallow and holly. I have a zurna and kaval made from
gidgee and a tarogotino made from mulga.
