One of the reasons I truly love the banjo is because it harkens back to much simpler times, when all you needed to make music was a set of picks, a candle or two, 120 volts of electricity & a cathode biased tube amplifier with racing stripes.

@owlice @MarcAndreHam This looks like what we call a “lap harp.” Not traditionally a Russian instrument but yours probably just happens to be made there. A few companies make song cards you can slide under the strings. The ones we sell are tuned to a G major scale.

@ales_frost @Square @SQSupport Update: Square has now released the hold on our deposits, but we still haven’t gotten an explanation of why this happened.

[House of Musical Traditions @hmtrad]

We loved @Square as our cc processor until today - acct suspended with zero notice, @SQSupport would not give reason over phone, said we'd hear in 3-5 biz days, rep hung up on us. Unacceptable!
