What (stringed, percussion) instrument would you recommend for someone with three working fingers on their left hand , plus a thumb. My Ring finger was broken at the last joint and never healed 100% so It's difficult, if not impossible, to use for making chords on a guitar (which is why I stopped playing in the first place). I've since picked up the tin whistle and the ocarina on my own, but am looking for something relatively inexpensive I can do a bit more with than those two.

TapTheForwardAssist posted:How do any of these ring for you? Those all sound neat. I'm thinking a dulcimer over a steel guitar - it seems more portable (I tend to do a lot of backpacking and traveling) -- I'm interested in traditional music(s) and was thinking either a dulcimer or a bodhran (bowrain,bodrain,bowran,etc) In the long run -- something along those lines. Something smallish, reasonably easy to set up, acoustic over electric... I've got great dexterity, enough to cover holes on a tinwhistle and ocarina, its just complex positions and lots of pressure make my the last joint on my ring finger bend the wrong way -- Maybe something that doesn't require a lot of pressure on the finger would be great. I'll continue to do research on the dulcimer though, that could be neat. Edit: The saxon Lyre linked within the first half-dozen pages looks like a neat instrument, but is there much documentation/practicality for something like that?

Thanks, TapTheForwardAssist. Picked up a Tin Whistle on suggestion from you a few years back and my odd musical instrument collection has grown. I never was very musical (read: never played an instrument seriously) but I put some time in learning to read music instead of just loving around making noise and now I've been playing the violin for 7 months. I have no intention of stopping! You rock! Your suggestions are like the gateway drugs of the musical world. If anyone is hesitating picking up something fun to play -- just do it!
