That's really nice Peter. I've never heard of the Onion Flute before until you posted information about it. I'm wondering if you could rig a holder for it like a harmonica holder so that you could use both hands to play your dulcimer. I came across this when I did a search, http://www.instructables.com/id/Clothes-Hanger-Harmonica-Holder/ . I'm not sure how comfortable a coat hanger would be on the back of the neck but I suppose padding could be added. Just some thoughts I had. I love your kazoos too. Thanks for postingSmile.gif

Thank you, Marc, Benjamin, John! Smile.gif

@Marc - Ah, that's interesting. I'm sorry that French was not among the languages I learnt in school (even though thanks to Latin I could intuitionally guess most of the content). I see now that the word "cuir" is leather - so I fancy something like very thin parchment? Thanks for pointing that out.

The maker of my onion flute actually didn't use "leather" or parchment, but actually "Bamboo skin".
