| "Suffice it to say the instrument's assets - portability, volume and being relatively easy to learn - ensured such immediate popularity that within a few decades it had become assimilated into (and on occasion had dramatically transformed) most musical traditions - even in some of the remotest areas around the globe. [Cover picture] And 26 fascinating examples of this unlikely phenomenon, taken from commercial recordings made between 1927-48 have been compiled on this splendid CD by Christoph Wagner... Wonderful and varied music, fine sound, stunning illustrations and interesting notes." - Musical Traditions |

Please note!
Most CDs have been
imported from Europe or Asia.
They are not all
shrink-wrapped, and I am not
going to con you by wrapping them
here just to make you think they
have been sterilized in America.
We guarantee that the CDs and the
contents are all brand new and in
perfect condition. Whenever I
can, I use recycled shipping
materials. They may not look as
pretty on the outside, but they save
money and keep the trash dumps a
little bit emptier.
