A trip on acoustic instruments in hobgoblin music shop
The hobgoblin music shop is situated just off Oxford Street in London which is easily reached from Tottenham Court Road tube station and is only a little further from Oxford Circus. This busy shop has London’s choice of Folk Instruments, and a big range of Guitars, World Percussion, and Recorders, as well as a repair workshop with well-known and very experienced repairman Michael Cameron in residence. I am a very big fan of acoustic instruments. I love living things. They look better and feel better than any digital virtual instrument.
Paul Gardner, the manager of the music shop stated: “ Music instruments are all living beings. Be respectful to them.”
I went to the hobgoblin music shop with bunches of various microphones like DPA ones, contact mics, condenser mics, and small clippers to get amazing samples.
Instruments like sarinda, didge, concertina, harmonium, glockenspiel, and ocean drums were very rare and fabulous and they were all in different dynamics as well.
I was super interested in concertina and I really wanted to take her home as a wife:)
A concertina is a free-reed musical instrument, like the various accordions and the harmonica. It consists of expanding and contracting bellows, with buttons (or keys) usually on both ends, unlike accordion buttons, which are on the front.
