Those of us who have experienced The New Abnormal and have not run screaming from the room do feel a sense of loss when we can't tune in 🥹

thank you Dave, "morsing" is a new word for me... lots of mouth harps in the musical world.
Sangeet Team (host)
11:12:45 AM
yes, due to it's small size, robust metallic construction, and low cost, it is probably the most widely traveled instrument
