I got new Zills.
Mar. 7th, 2008 04:29 pmI got new zills. Okay so they aren't double slots
but I love the sound so much more than my others. And because they are tiny I find them much easier to control. BEST OF ALL - the dogs don't hate them. and $15. Less than half what I paid for my Saroyans. If I like them a lot ... I may order some of their tinker zills later on.

for more images and a complete breakdown of my 4 sets of zills... see my Flickr page.
Note the Velcro & baby booties.

The Ottoman Empire controlled Spain for a long time - transition to flamenco?
