In Brian Boru, the sound of the ancient Pictish war horn, the Carnyx, was emulated on the didjuridu.

The War Drum used in Brian Boru saw service in the American Revolutionary War.

Cynthia plays harps by Ardival Harps of Strathpeffer, Scotland. Three Ardival Harps are represented on this recording: The Kilcoy (19 brass strings), The Kinnellan (30 brass and gold strings), and The Rose (25 brass and 1 silver string).
