@Denise , Glad that you liked the information !! I feel that you are a good musician, am I right ?
Great hub. some of the instruments are similar to the traditional Ethiopian music instruments I wrote about in my hub. This is one of the ways music brings the world together.

I just clicked on your response here and have to chuckle- NO, I am not a good musician. I tinker around with musical instruments and appreciate those who play well. :)

Well then you are half good a musician :) You have a good ear for the music right :D
Yes, actually. That is why I was able to teach my own self the guitar when I was interested in it as a teen. Other instruments-not so much. :)
