Hello Folk
my name is Thomas, I am 35 years old and live near Bern, Switzerland.
I have been playing instruments for 30 years, mainly brass instruments like trumpet and euphonium. So I was playing in different formations for more than half of my life. About 10 years ago I fell in love with the Scottish bagpipe, which has accompanied me ever since. The alphorn, also a not so common instrument, crosses my life again and again.
Apparently I have an affinity for special instruments... that's how it was a few weeks ago when I came across a youtube video in which "the stick" was being played. This until then completely unknown instrument has since eaten its way into my head and my heart. Another love of mine that wants to be loved and lived
So I am not yet a stick player, but I am a wannabe.
Unfortunately, I have no experience with string instruments so far, but I am willing to learn the instrument. I am fascinated by the diversity. Even though I know that I will often cut my teeth, I would like to start this adventure and become one of you.
I hope that with your input and information, I will soon find an instrument and know what is right for me. I hope to start my journey soon. I am enormously grateful for any help
Happy Tapping and see you soon
Thoemsi
