I guess we could say that when bluegrass first started it was just five instruments: guitar, banjo, fiddle, mandolin and base fiddle, later on it seems that a dobro has been accepted as a bluegrass instrument and in some circles a harmonica.....My question is can anyone think of other acoustic instruments that could be added and still "fit in"?..I also know that some people have different ideas of what bluegrass is and can it be altered to incorporate many different kinds of instruments....I know some have tried electric instruments with wa-wa pedals and fuzz boxes.....My self I love a hammered dulcimer sound but can it be accepted as a bluegrass instrument?
Your opinions please....Hope this hasn`t been beat to death before,
No Mike, I never posted this before....
