I got a Harmony 454 "Hollywood" with the genuwine silkscreened 'Oscar' on the headstock and a swell decal that says 'steel reinforced neck'. It's a F-hole with the DeArmond gold screen pickup. It hasn't decided if it's T-Bone Walker or Fred McDowell. Good mid frequency rhythm guitar too. I just saw a picture of Paul Oscher playing one.

Bob....I've been playing nonstop since I got this capo and haven't had any trouble with it detuning my guitar so far...but I cant get that flashy, trailer trashy red guitar out of my mind!

Oh, temptation, get thee behind me! I'd have to sell my ancient Jose Oribe classical to get the money...and tho I never play it any more it is an old friend. Last I heard Jose had moved from LA to the San Diego area...I remember playing one of his concert guitars...what a voice that instrument had...with sound like that you don't NEED amplification...I think he made a guitar for Chet Atkins...

Dear Ermintrudeclaire...

A new guitar, especially one you've been wanting (and wanting) is a joy forever....or at least until down the road a new lust appears. Very glad you got it.

I got an ocarina, too!!! Hey, Chip, now what do I do? There's a little tag on it that has kind of "Ocarina for Dummies" but I'm ready for the Canon!!

Well, no new instrument, but a majorly cool accessory. Something called Silent Brass. You put the mute part in the bell of the trumpet, and no one can hear you. What a blessing to the neighbors, eh? =0) But then the mute hooks up into this little console, and you put in the headphones, and you can hear yourself clear as day! The best part is the effects you can put on yourself. You can make it sound like you're in a practice room, concert hall, or a church. SO cool!

I've got enough trouble playing the ones I've got. But Elderly were kind enough to send me a replacement biscuit bridge for my Regal resonator (to replace the one which warped in 6 months use!) so I now have a functional instrument which weren't functional previous.

Bought my wife a tin whistle though. To the question "Do you know the muffin man?" I think the answer is currently "no", but it did provoke the classic line "I'm not going to let the muffin man beat me"...

Don't have it yet, but there's a National steel in the not-too-distant future. I put out the word that I would rather have cash toward a guitar than anything else and everybody came through.... Now I've got about two-thirds of what a good used Style O will cost. Can't wait!
