John Turnbull has Parkinson's disease but that does not stop him making and playing instruments. He also has a great sense of humour as can be seen when he explains why the steel is strapped to his hand. John is accompanied by his brother in law, Brian Reid.
Olya and I recorded John and Brian for The National Library of Australia at Stanley Tasmania in 2013.
