Historically, Morris dancing music was probably played on loud and rhythmical instruments of the time such as the pipe and tabor. Today, the music is often played on accordion, melodeon and concertina, the so-called "Free-Reed Instruments," but violin and flute can often be heard. Percussion instruments like the tambourine and drum are welcome but must be careful to match the timing and feel of the music. In summary, unless someone lets me know to the contrary, any instrument can be employed as long as it can provide the "lift" to the dancers.
