The SEMOLINA has the smoothest sound.

I used to use semolina as a filler in my black powder revolver - makes up the volume in the chamber when using a reduced charge of gunpowder.  It wasn't very musical... more like percussion (that's a cap joke)

I've found the Semolina to have a rather grainy sound...

Polly Sopranos are nice, they sort of sing to you.
Castignaggis get on your nerves after a while.
Serenenellys have a calming effect.

Polly Soprano?!

Surely You'd be meaning Paulus O'Brannagh,the legendary Irish Monk who founded the order of the Greys at Castle Faitairgha.

You'll all have heard of Turlough O'Carloan, the patron saint of rented vehicles?  Everyone seems to believe he was also a gifted and unsighted harp player, but this is not so - it actually comes from a misheard conversation in an old Killarney bar:  "Turlough O'Carolan, blind?!  Ha, pissed!"

Is it true clippers are made of the preserved wood from tea ships?

Not quite, I actually use compressed tea bags that have been steeped in the waters of Lake Vyrnwy. That's how I get that unique sound.
