Thread Name: What instruments do you have?
Subject: RE: What instruments do you have?
I'm afraid to count but here goes:
the real instruments: 2 Guitars (Alvarez starter, Martin 000-15s) 3 Appalacian dulcimers (no-name, McSpadden, Folkroots baritone) 2 Mandolins (bowl-back, 1919 Gibson A) 3 Flutes (Gemeindhart student, Tipple PVC, Sweetheart rosewood) 6 Recorders (Sopranino, 2 Sopranos, 3 Altos - one nice, nice Tenor) 6 Whistles (4 irish type, one bamboo and 1 slide - that should go in the silly category)) 1 Yamaha Digital Piano 1 Clavichord (built by my husband's dad nearly 40 yrs ago) 25 Harmonicas (including a chromatic set of Golden Melodies)
and the silly stuff:
3 Ocarinas 4 Jew's Harps 1 Bodhran 1 Washboard w. thimbles 1 Tambourine 1 Hammered dulcimer, hand made w. no bass strings 1 Bugle (one is enough!) 3 Kazoos 3 Shakey eggs (they seem to multiply) 1 pr Wooden Catspaw spoons 1 deer claw rattle
and the comment about too many books also holds true -- except that we do have a large bookcase in the kitchen, for cookbooks of course.
