So, as you will see with some letters of this challenge, it was a little difficult to find instruments that started with a few letters. The "L" was one of these letters. Of course I could've used Lyre but that seemed so broad so I thought I would go outside the box and choose Lambeg drum.
A Lambeg drum is a large drum used in Northern Ireland by Unionists. It is beaten with malacca canes. They are usually carried in parades using a neck harness.
The shell is usually made from oak and the skins are primarily made of goat skin.
I've never heard of that one. I wouldn't have thought the letter L would be a hard one but of course I haven't thought about it as far as instruments are concerned! Have a great weekend :)
WOW those drums look huge and heavy don't they? Cannot imagine carrying that thru an entire parade.
