Not quite playing the megaliths but given the prehistoric cumbrians eye for a nice piece of stone...who knows?...perhaps the group VI axes found throughout our islands are actually lithophones (-:

As for music at the stones, I'm old school and prefer the soundtrack that's already there.

The Musical Stones of Skiddaw are fascinating; I first heard of them on a Radio 4 feature a while back.

If by "I'm old school and prefer the soundtrack that's already there" you mean the sound of birds (down south it skylarks, swallows, goldfinches to name but a few) or the high pitched screek of buzzards or a kestral overhead - then I'm totally with you.
Then there is always the wind.

Great thread though, lots insights into the personalities that post here - all good.
