I agree with Caren, ultimate sharing for engaging with. Thanks for putting this out there, it’s a great track! I could see this instrument being a nice compliment to fiddling, moving from one to the other, offering good balance in body position change and sound variance 🎶 🙂 Loving what your putting down, Debbie

Thanks for sharing folks. @susieq, I tagged you here to ensure you see Mike’s above reply. The hearing aids topic with recording/zoom sessions is a good one. Bluetooth to the apple device to hear the audio coming through our microphones. Be interesting to hear if this works for you, Susieq. Good topic to hear from the wider community as well 🙂
