Actually, I'm not sure. I have to check. Will confirm answer on Monday (unless you have a copy of the Hobbit, Theodred, in which case you should go).

It was definately Dori's, remember he shouted, &quot;my poor legs, my poor legs!&quot;. I have the book in front of me.

Yes it was Dori, I just looked it up now, + Beregond agrees so I'll ask. What instruments did Balin and Dwalin play?

Dwalin and Balin both played violas; but in my copy of &quot;The Hobbit&quot; it was spelled 'viols'
