But you made some of the instruments  Larry - 'pon my word - that is a great thing to do
They will no doubt sound more authentic than commercially made stuff

Hi all:
 
The instruments used are the kantele, lyre, citole, drum, and laouta.
 
The kantele has six gut strings; the citole is actually a modified flat-back
mandolin I made from a kit; the lyre (built by me) is a typical 6 stringed
Anglo-Saxon type similar to Ben Bagby's Beowulf lyre; the drum is an Irish
bodhran and the laouta is a long-necked 4 course oud, similar to early medieval
lutes.
 
The mode corresponds to the modern key of a minor.  The pronunciation is based
on my best attempts at research and a high level of risk-taking. Feel free to
point out any major blunders.
