And now for something completely different - MIDI controller for mizmar/zurna.
Andy is a family friend, a few years older than Miriam, who goes a long time back into the deep mists of time. An accomplished musician and performer, he also builds his own instruments as a hobby. Take a look and listen for yourself as Andy presents his latest creation.
