The Welsh Triple is just about unique, as historically it was always played 'left handed'. Robin isn't a rarity in that sense - it's just normal for the instrument!
Telynores Maldwyn, Nansy Rechards Jones came from PenY Bont Fawr (Montgomeryshire ) I loved going to her farm and sit and listen to her music and her fingers dance
Geraint at St Fagan's museum in Cardiff makes Welsh style clogs. There is Walkleys clog factory in Myholmroyd, nr Halifax, who sell clogs off the shelf or make bespoke and there are a few other excellent clog makers in England who make bespoke clogs for dancing, such as Simon Brock, Phil Howard, Jeremy Atkinson (who isn't the last clogmaker in Britain as he claims) - all have websites. Tap shoes have metal taps on the toe to make the beat - clogs, having wooden soles with a turn up at the front to aid walking, tend to use the ball of the foot for beats, so underneath the foot rather than at the front.
How much should I expect to pay for one? I am looking and drooling over Thurau’s collection of triples but I don’t know if I should expect to pay $5,000, $50,000 or $5,000,000.
