Been doing a bit of recording tonight as planned, made a pretty good start on demoing the organ song (currently called 'Time Alone'). Got the harmonium and vocal down on it, but I think I can get the organ to sound better...just need a better mic, and maybe position it slightly differently (I'm still learning this stuff!). But for a demo for myself to work with it'll do, the lyrics aren't even definite yet...

I'm writing something new today and aim to record some harmonium and vocals this evening...

but I have taken a little break to attend to this interesting instrument...a guitar-zither dated 1894.
Giving repairing it another go. May end up selling it on soon though: if anyone knows anything about these instruments let us know, I'd be interested in finding out more as the interent's been a pretty useless resource so far.

Chris.
