The Waites play a wide variety of instruments. These are mainly wind instruments, but strings and percussion also feature regularly.
Particular families are shown in the panel opposite. Many have interesting stories and histories, which often form an amusing and informative part of a Waites concert.
Hopefully in the future when time permits, this section will include descriptions and pictures!
Meanwhile, a good introduction to them can be found on the website of Paul Baker’s Diabolus in Musica.
