Hoedown

These are the instruments I got to play tonight at a bonfire at the home of a friend in the country:



Well not exactly these instruments, but one's like these. And there wasn't actually a bonfire, on account of the wet weather, but we did rock out and play some dominoes. I even got a blister from stomping out some furious basslines on the sweet upright bass her dad had.

Very fun! Is it very similar/easy to switch between stringed instruments?

It's not as hard as you'd think. All the mechanics are similar; only the notes and shapes of the chords and scales change, due to differences in tuning.

Could it be compared to a pianist playing an organ or harpsichord? Have you ever seen a harpsichord?
