Hi Thomas,
I'm making practice Tabors so as to play one handed while driving or doing something else. So far it's just PVC, but once I get the idea it's going to be my goal to make a wooden one.
I also like the idea of two tabor type pipes for chords. And the string drum is always cool, but for me a simple drum would be enough.
Morris Dancing is kinda cool, I am reminded of Chinese sword Kata and some Middle Eastern dances. I have a slight fantasy of creating a morris type dance that incorporates more martial skills.
