No, I didn't think this one up myself. It's courtesy of Peter T. from the "Worshiping Pam Swan" thread.

It's got a ring of truth to it though. Since we last went through that embarrasing period of "counting the number of strings" certain Mudcatters had in their houses (I beat out Michael Miland by remembering an almost forgotten spare autoharp) I've added a few instruments. A Hammer Dulcimer (courtesy of Catter "Shug"), a Hohner Cajun accordion (no strings but much frustration) and a 1912 Gibson A-2 Mandola. Since that thread I've sold: A 1914 Gibson Mando-Cello (to Catter Davey) a Takamine Acoustic/electric Bass Guitar, and a small keyboard Hohner accordion (to buddy Tony Quarrington).

The last thing we need is for us Mudcat veteran "Instrument Nurds" to start listing all are shit again, but there've been quite a few new folks come on board since then...any of you want to share info on your "treasures" with us? Oh and of course, veterans who've been wheeling and dealing.

Next time you come over Peter, I want you to try my Pre-war 13 string Yak hide Pfarflebutz.
