The Evolution of Finger Cymbals & Book Giveaway

Hello Gang!

This weekend I’ve teamed up with Phoenix area belly dancer Mahin for a fun give away.  throughout the month of February, Mahin has been celebrating “Zill Month”  To help her finish the month off in style, we’ve teamed up to do a book giveaway.

The Evolution of Finger Cymbals – Guest post on Mahin’s She’s Got Hips Website

If you haven’t gotten a copy of my latest book Zills: Music on Your Fingertips, or love it and would like to try winning a copy for a friend or family member, visit my guest blog post on Mahin’s site.  The link to enter the contest is at the end.  Three winners will be selected via random number generator.

The winners will be selected on Monday, Feb. 26 and will be notified by Mahin via email.

The Evolution of Finger Cymbals traces the 3000+ year history of our favorite musical instruments.  I take the reader on a historic journey starting with the game-changing technological advance of metallurgy and the discovery of copper smelting.  Through each moment of human advancement in metal sciences, people have made finger cymbals.  If you are interested in finding out what the numbers next to these six zills mean, check out the article here.

Of course, if you just want to pick up a copy of my Zills book, you can grab a copy over on Amazon or on my Etsy store.

I hope you enjoy this article – and I wish you all best of luck in this virtual drawing!
