violin/fiddle, mandolin, jew's harp, even a dulcimer, or lute (doubt it).

if so, and you're interested in recording a few parts for this project in 2009, let me know.

I have a very cheap and terrible mandolin somewhere. But I haven't played it in like 5 years.

i took violin lessons for a while but am not good enough to record anything.

hmm. damn. I was thinking about borrowing/purchasing a cheap one and playing it. there's some company selling fiddles on ebay for 50 bucks right now, too.

I've been meaning to buy a mandolin. Shit's cool.

...I have a melodica though, haha.

i have been learning traditional highland bagpipe band snare drumming. It's kind of folky.

Not mentioning that I'm a passable banjo player and just barely proficient with the mandolin, here.

listen to the mandolin rain.

i have a friend who has a lute... i dont think he knows how to play it though.

well, then DYA, if you do indeed have experience with the mandolin, then I may ask you to participate.
wait, we know each other, right?

Violin and Bagpipes.

Call if you need me.

Sweet. Are you able to do simple folkish melodies over acoustic guitar and do you own them? and yet another stupid question: electric or real violin?

I heard aaron plays a mean skinflute.

Real violin. All wood...not electronics. I'm no Andy Happel...but I can play. Been doing it for about 10 years. And yes...I own my instruments.

andy happel is excellent

from devil in the kitchen? i'm not looking for that style. I'm looking for something along the lines of neun welten - a fairly new german folkish band. you guys have the intelligence to download or buy their album. i'm at work and can't post a link but it's really awesome. just simple background melodies to an acoustic backbone. it's going to be a unique project and i'm putting a lot of planning/focus into it, outside of herugrim that is.

MY LUTE!!

andy happel is a violinist from nh. the kid from devil in the kitchen is andy reiner.

i love neun welten. it will be nice to hear another project like that, especially something local. do you plan to play shows with it ever?

"Pfft - Grandpa's guitars."

yeah right. i'd love to pull a band like that off live. there's not enough musicians with the same influences and that play those instruments around here. that would be very awesome though...

I can borrow a banjo pretty easily - getting hold of a mandolin on short notice might be harder.

I don't think this project will involve a banjo. Not going for bluegrass. Going for Ulver-esque type riffs with some neo-folk and ambient elements.

Althought being in a bluegrass band would be fucking sick. Bluegrass Black metal ftw.

Andy Reiner is in utah for a year anyway :P

polygamist?

you should talk to our guitarist stash... he is good at mandolin.

lol no worse a skiing jew

hahaha

bennyhillifier
stash is on guitar here

Listened to any of the acoustic Ensiferum stuff? Banjo all over that. It's more of a versatile instrument than people give it credit for.

Of course I heard that stuff. If you're primarily talking about the intro on Iron, then that's a little too cheesey/psuedo-1960s-GallapingWestern sounding.

I play a fiddle of gold.

CAN YOU REALLY PLAY VIOLIN AND IF SO, TO WHAT REGARD. WE NEED ONE

I'm trying to get back to playing mandolin. Give me a year and then I'll join you!

If I still had my clarinet I bet I could pick it up pretty easy.. played for 8 years, I was one siq-azz clarinet player bro

This is for something else although I'd still love to do a neofolk project.

Are you really good at clarinet? For real?

hammered dulcimer....I wish

I can play some different instruments
I have an autoharp which can sound really cool, and I have some wooden flutes, one which has 2 chambers one being a drone. If you want to hear what I did with some of them check out www.myspace.com/vysok
