Though this is perhaps not common knowledge, even among Swedes, bagpiping has a long history in Sweden. There are several images of bagpipes and bagpipers in Swedish churches from the 14th century and onwards. So, at least the instrument has been known for a long time. There is hardly any evidence that the bagpipes were also played in Sweden in the middle ages, but there is little reason to doubt it - Sweden was under heavy cultural influence from central and western Europe at the time and later reports, from the 17th-19th century, describe situations including bagpipes in an off-hand way - with no apparent surprise, as if the instrument was a natural, not exotic, object in the given context ...

full and partial schematics (circuit diagrams); overdirve, wah pedal, pickup wiring and switching ideas ...
Many different elements combine to make up the sound of an electric guitar:
Guitar woods and construction,
Strings types and ages,
Pickup types, placement and combinations,
Quality and length of cables (or radio system),
Stompboxes, pedal and special effects,
Amplifier designs, tones and overdrive,
Speaker types and speaker box construction,
Your playing environment and volume level,
Most of these are covered in my guitar pages, which I have split broadly into:
Guitar Amplifiers
An explanation of guitar amplifier design, and why they are so different to 'standard' amplifiers. There's information on valve and transistor designs, history on overdrive (or distortion) trends, and some overdrive circuit diagrams for experimenters ...

Re-creating the jorvik panpipes.
There are several instruments or partial instruments that have been found in a Viking context. At this time, however, there is only one panpipe identified as being a Viking instrument. This was found at York (Jorvik) and is decribed in the book The Viking Dig by Richard Hall. This is the only place I have been able to find a good drawing of the lengths of the bores in this instrument. The book describes the notes sounded by this panpipe as being the the five notes from "top A" to "top E," or the first five notes of the A-major scale ...

Manufacturer of two-handed fretboard tapping instruments.
Welcome to the Stick Enterprises homepage. Our designs are based on the revolutionary two-handed tapping method of parallel hands discovered by Emmett Chapman on guitar in 1969 and taught since then to players around the world.
With Emmett's method, both of your hands are equal partners. As they approach the fretboard from opposite sides, your fingers line up parallel to the frets and a powerful new musical language emerges - bass lines, lead melodies, chords, and rhythm, simultaneously, and in any combination you desire.
Today thousands of musicians are making their own music with our Stick, Grand Stick, Stick Bass and NS/Stick fretboard tapping instruments. Emmett continues to expand on his original concepts by adding to the variety of Stick models, features and tunings - defining the state of the art in tapping instruments ...
