Been meaning to have a count-up for some time ! Me: guitar, keyboard, mandolin (borrowed from Ian B), penny whistle - and getting a bodhran with my birthday money (I hope !!) * My 13 year old daughter Isobel: flute, clarinet,penny whistle, 3 recorders, cornet, set of bongos, rainstick, mini panpipes, violin, glockenspiel, KAZOOS ! (and probably various percussion bits and pieces that, as Anahootz says, seem to appear and disappear from unlikely places from time to time)* Inherited from my dear, late dad: 2 piano accordions, keyboard, heaven knows how many harmonicas and probably even more ocarinas than Chip 2447 admits to !* I have this feeling that I've missed some things out ...

Once I had a total of 37 (when I was in the musical repair business!). But Lady McMoo made me sell most of them! Now it is just:

2 steel string acoustics (Lakewood + "Japanese" Lowden)
1 very old French "palour guitar" (still good for slide work)
1 classical guitar
1 custom built electric (of unknown provenance!)
2 acoustic mandolins (custom Eccleshall + 100 year old DiMeglio neapolitan)
1 octave mandolin (Hathway)
1 short scale tenor banjo (Lyon and Healy c.1925)
1 balalaika
1 little greek mini bouzouki thing (forgot what it's called!)
1 Roland midi keyboard
1 upright piano (Zimmerman)
1 set of Latin Percussion (Meinl tumbadora and conga and Supercussion bongos) + assorted claves and shakeables
1 djembe
1 African shoulder drum (forgot the exact name again!)
1 D whistle (Chieftain)
1 G whistle (Overton)
the odd harmonica
1 set of Thai bamboo pipes

Hell's teeth! That still adds up to the best part of 30. Better not let her Ladyship see this!

Sleeve notes of English Country Music:Reg Hall writing on the subject of Walter Bulwer(English trad fiddler) "in his cottage at the time were seven fiddles of various sizes,a viola,a cello, a double bass, several mandolins, a mandolin-banjo,a 5-string G banjo, a 6-string guitar-banjo, a banjo with 7 strings and a complete drum kit.In addition to that there was a piano and a harmonium which his wife Daisy played".Quite a collection. Especially if you considerthat he also played clarinet, trombone and 1-row melodeon, which don't appear on the list. Surprisingly similar to my list,as I come from a quite different tradition to Walter Bulwer .(the main difference would be my 6 guitars to his none...I was born 60 years after him).

Wow, and I thought my house was getting "over instrumented".

I have a 1900 "parlor" guitar, a Yamaha FG200, a Gibson Songbird (brand new, still has "factory" strings on it) a Saga 5 string, a Alvarez 5 string, an old Oscar Schmidt 12 bar autoharp, a "newer" Oscar Schmidt 15 bar autoharp, a no name mandolin, a Sears and Rowboats electric organ a clutch of pennywhistles one each of all keys made by Generation and a few more like Clarke and some local bought at Fort Des Chartes during an encampment. I will be acquiring a Bart Reiter fretless 5 string soon and would like to sell (or whatever) the Yamaha, the parlor guitar and the older Oscar schmidt autoharp (sell, preferably because I REALLY want that Reiter fretless).

I have a case for the Oscar Schmidt, if anyone is interested in the above I can be emailed thusly:

Actually, I do make my living with my instrument.I teach Choral music in the public schools. I have been a church organist for 30 years. I have an album out on which I play my fiddle (date scratched on back by my 3rd Great Grand. 1823), concertina (anglo), guitar (1999 Martin D 28), and mandolin (Martin 1960). I own a Bauer 5 foot grand piano, and a studio piano (Wurlitzer). The 5 foot Baldwin is in the living room with my string bass. I perform on Naill Bagpipes in our local band. I own 4 tin whistles. My husband is the competition bass drummer, my son is a scottish snare drummer. We have bodhrains and dejembes, shakeres and all manner of shaken and rattled instruments. I have a baritone ukelele -plays just like the guitar. And an old diatonic C squeeze box that was traded to a Ship's Chandler in Baltimore in the 1800's. Each of the instuments are performed on in public. Am I making a living with this?. . . . Just barely. But I am having lots of fun.

Ocarinas are ancient globular flutes found in China and South America. They are suitible for playing anything from A to Z. Mine range in size from about on inch in diameter(producing a light airy sound, much like a tin whistle), to the big bass which is about 6 inches in diameter and has a haunting melocholy tone...
