A George Washburn guitar in great condition from 1885-1887. While most models made during this period featured slotted headstocks, this model was one of the few to have a solid "peghead" headstock and it has survived with its original Champion friction tuners. These tuners debuted in 1885 and went on to become industry standard for banjos and ukuleles.
A true collector's item.

- Upper bout: 8"
- Lower bout: 12"
- Upper bout depth: 3 3/8"
- Lower bout depth: 3 1/2"
- Scale length: 24 1/4"

I bought this bodhran after I broke my more decorative one while protesting. I’m one of four women who are Drumming for Democracy every week at our local Saturday protest.
The DG-255 I received from Lark in the Morning was easily as beautiful as presented. The padded gig bag is a huge plus as well.
The guitar is a solid and has a bigger, more forward sound than I'd anticipated which suits me just fine. It plays easily, surely even more so after I have a guitar tech get it set up for me.
Nice people, excellent service, quick shipping. Nothing not to like here.
This whistle has a beautiful, warm tone and is very responsive. I have used a variety of whistles (including other Kerry whistles), and this one is my favorite to play. While recording my latest album, I needed a whistle in this key pretty quickly, and Lark in the Morning had this delivered to me within a few days. I highly recommend this instrument, and Lark in the Morning is a fantastic place to purchase from with excellent customer service.
I already play a mountain lap dulcimer, but this one gives the instrument a whole different dimension to playing. Really beautiful craftsmanship. Thus isn’t a toy, but a lovely wooden instrument. Very easy to play!
Multifacsited approach to something fun to do!
