What musical instruments do you have in the house?

[TMart]

Not much of a collection, but here's what I got:
- 2013 Ibanez AC300EDVS (nice little grand concert)
- 2014 Epiphone Les Paul Custom Pro - black with gold hardware and a Bigsby
- Eberhardt-Hays full size upright piano circa 1920's?

I'm actually trying to figure out how old the piano is. Just recently read that it was built by Foster Armstrong, so I'm hoping I can date it via serial number. Anyone here happen to be an expert in early 20th century American upright pianos?

Let's see...

Selmer Mark VI tenor sax
Yamaha student flute
Two acoustic guitars (Martin 000-15 and Collings OM-1)
Five electric guitars (Hamer Artist Studio, PRS Mira, Fender Japan '62RI Telecaster, Fender Highway 1 Strat, G&L ASAT Jr. II)
Four amps (hand built--not by me--5F1 tweed Champ based amp, Fender Pro Jr, Vox Pathfinder 15R, Tech 21 Trademark 10)
Casio PX-160 digital piano (decided to get back to playing piano late last year; I'll probably upgrade soon).
Had a clarinet--my first instrument--but stupidly loaned it to someone and never got it back. Also had an alto sax but gave it to my sister (who later sold it). Also once had a Selmer Omega tenor, but it was stolen after a gig.

Just added a new Ukelele. My wife wanted one for Christmas

 

[Freds.Bands]

I'm not going to be specific unless someone questions about details.
2 Bb trumpets
1 C trumpet
4 cornets
1 fluegelhorn
1 double horn
1 Bb single horn
2 baritone horns, 1 trombone (high pitch)
3 Eb alto horns
1 Wagner tuba
1 soprano recorder
1 fife
1 snare drum and stand
1 bird whistle (water type)

NO guitars or such

If I had an acoustic guitar, it would be a lute instead, which IMO sound much better. But I won't have once since I'd much rather listen to someone who plays one well, than try to learn how to play one using all those fingers.

I posted in the thread about a decade ago... not a lot of big changes other than I'm using a 40 watt tube head instead of 400 watts!!! (I've mostly given up on the local pool of musicians, so I don't need stage volume)... and I've gone back to Bag End cabinets like I used for most of my career. Here are some shots from my mancave/home studio

who needs a band when you have a seven string bass?
sorry Jack White but I've got the real seven nation army right here

 

[jimfet]

My asshole. Plus it's not just in the house, but I carry it with me everywhere I go. I play it a lot too. My girlfriend won't let me play it around her, but when my brother and I get together...........Boy Howdy. Nothing but the classics. Anybody for a little elevator music.

OK, I'm sorry. I just got off a 12 hour night shift and I'm a little goofy right now. The title of the thread got to me.

Does that qualify as a wind instrument?

Does that qualify as a wind instrument?

with all the puckering it might fall under the brass family

 

[John James]

Guys, I repair musical instruments, including the brass family.
This conversation is making me uneasy.
What really happened at band camp?

 

[jimfet]

It's mostly fan air for the common man.

 

[Northwinds]

A lot...

 

[Eric Lloyd]

Two Fender basses (a J and a P)
One Squier Jazz bass
Steamer trunk full of electric bass accessories
Rhodes piano (88 key stage model)
various shakers, clackers, tambourines, etc.
Stupid array of bass amplifiers

What really happened at band camp?

I never attended, but heard the stories: beer, pranks, a little dope, and our band teacher being a drill instructor. And beer.
