46

I earn my living with a viola.

The wife is a clarinettist and baroque recorder player.

47

Any day now there’ll be a Theremin. Take note Twistly.

48

Sorry Twisty, misspelled your name. But I’m still getting the Theremin.

49

Must…keep…hand away…from Submit Button…

50

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
…so, you dig ditches with it?

51

Anyone else notice something funny here (or, more accurately, not here)?

52

There does seem to be something missing. What do you have to say for yourself, Ike?

53

Don Ho’s daughter stole it, that’s why it’s not there.

My paltry collection of musical instruments:

– one violin, “Timtone”, unknown age but beautiful tone
– one Gibson mandolin, unknown age but purchased, used, by my grandfather c.1930
– one Fender acoustic guitar (very new)

54

Yeah, yeah…and I’ll bet if I went rummaging around in his clothes closet, I wouldn’t find a rackensack, either.

55

I’m not going to comment, however, on what you might find in my drawers.

56

Gibson SG Special, black
Fender acoustic guitar
Yamaha bass guitar
Roland digital keyboard
Boss DR-770 drum machine
Shure SM-58 mic
various spoons
half-empty milk jugs

57

Not too surprisingly, I have a double bass at home.

I also used to have a small pipe organ in college, but couldn’t take it with me when I graduated and moved…

58

I feel like such a slacker! My list:

Two acoustic guitars (one folk, which I bought and am learning to play, and one classical, which I rescued from a friend who was storing it on his BACK PORCH in Champaign in the middle of winter! No respect, I tell ya!)

A cheapo plastic recorder
A kazoo
And the one I use best, my voice

59

Just because no else has mentioned it yet:

1 Chapman Stick (rosewood 10 string w/GRID #1147)

Also:
2 Steinberger GM4S Guitars
2 Ovation guitars
1 Ibanez bass guitar
3 synths (Yamaha CS1X, Roland GR33, and an older Roland that belongs to my fiance)
1 Violin

60

Yeah, my instruments are pretty boring.

  • Two full size violins
  • One 3/4 size violin
  • One 1/2 size violin
  • One upright piano
  • One acoustic guitar
  • Two recorders…somewhere
  • Two harmonicas
  • My lips…hey, whistling counts too
