Talk:Spirits of Rhythm

Correction
''Brief correction..........The Spirits employed 3 tiples, with Leo Watson being the band's primary soloist. The tiple is NOT a mandolin type instrument, save for the fact that it's four strings are all courses--a course commonly being a double string (as in a lute, 12-string guitar, mandolin, etc.). The tuning of a tiple is the same as a ukelele--not mandolin/violin tuning. The really interesting part is this: the highest and lower courses are double strings, but the 2 middle courses are triple strings. The "fundamental" note is the middle string which has has 2 octave strings on either side. Hence, the tiple has 10 strings in all (2X2, 2X3). Percussion was indeed featured as well--Virgil Scroggins' "kit" consisted of a suitcase covered with brown wrapping paper, played with 2 whisk brooms.''

The Spirits were a delightful, quirky bunch--their music is swinging and imbued with infectious FUN!

The above comments were made on the article page and are more approriate for the talk page, I'll leave it to a more qualified person to make the necessary corrections. --Jpeeling (talk • contribs) 20:28, 10 October 2009 (UTC)
