Description:

combine wood & string, close your eyes and enjoy the emerging sounds of the instruments

global tag "wood and string": PLAY

Being able to play the below instruments individually only became uncomfortable, so the new tag "wood and string" is used. About 80% of the below instruments are already tagged :-) You can help too, see here.

Currently there are following ways to start listening:
1. user wood_and_string's library
2. global tag: wood and string
3. below tags
4. group radio (note: this will play also other tracks users have)
5. Spotify-playlists:
- from user: wood_and_string
-- top artists
-- recommendations
- "Wood and String" (so far only their own albums and not the also-appears-on-albums since I'm not always sure they fall under the tag)
6. play (available) tracks on Youtube
from user wood_and_string:
- top artists

Nice group, a lot of good stuff to explore different cultures! Maybe Zither instruments also should be added to the list not only santoor but also kanklės or kantele.

Hello! Today I've set this group in relationship to Kurdish folk group!

wood and string is not a banal tag, it identifies the acoustic sound of instruments chordophones, classical and modern music, Western or Eastern, ethnic, "academic". Different ages and cultures are summarized in two words, the rest is music ... simple and genial

Hi to all the"wood and strings group members! I have a wish:Could someone(s) start a list with the named instruments above,with a short description,history,origin,geographical dispersion,and their role in their national/regional culture.I know,it's a piece of a hard work, but it would be a valuable acquisition for worldmusic lovers/listeners/musicians and also composers.i'll try to help!

Well, it may appear superficial when I say: it is all done by [b]US[/b], it is true, I added all helpers so far at fellow taggers.

I'll continue: The main purpose of wood is to make fire (so one can listen to the sound of it at the campfire).

The main purpose of wood is to make bass clarinets! ;o)
