The beggar

This multi-instrumentalist was at first a one-man-band playing eleven instruments at the same time. Nowadays he playes three instruments simultaneously and adds two imaginary bandmembers to Rapalje.

After 'Ruk en Pluk' a group was formed with the name 'De Eikeltjes aldus Ronald'. First this group performed in a songwriting contest and then scared the people on the streets of Europe. The first attempt to have a decent name was with 'Klootjesfolk'. That didn't work out.

Also known as 'Inspector Gadget' he invented a new instrument, the gitouki and complete new tunings for the mouth-organ and the squeeze box. Known inventions for amplification are 'The Duckbill' and 'The Dog'. He always knows a way to find good ideas for designing and photographing.

Maceál does all the bookings and administration for the band.

You could wonder why he never looses his kilt the way he wears it. Still waiting for Dieb to do something about it.
