I never knew what it was called, but I've seen it here: (at 1:24, 3:22, & 3:57) She's one of my favorite artists & always has one in her band

probably a bugger to put together.

I can't imagine, and even the overall design... so complicated in every way.

Yes, I was taken aback when I heard the sound, not at all what I expected.

The Highwayman is so dreamy and soothing.
