Ah...
As regards the second part, there is such a thing as a 16 string acoustic guitar - that would have 16 tuning pegs... Relevant or not?"...the isle is full of noises,

Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."

The Ebène (French for ebony) Quartet are/were R3 New Generation artists.Originally posted by Caliban View Post
The title for Ebony & Ivory was inspired by McCartney hearing Spike Milligan say "black notes, white notes, and you need to play the two to make harmony, folks!"
Well done to all!

Got to be a quick F, the day's conspiring against me...
Please find a French, a Finnish and a magical Spanish F: the last two stand alone, no. 1 is the last of four.
PS: Don't do that, Rubber-Necker - get on with your homework.
