Post pictures of your musical instruments!

Hey! Good to see saxophone love around here!!

Count me in. Keilsworth ST90 Alto and a decades old school Conn bari.

By the way, French Horns and Tuba'a are NOT woodwinds. Woodwind refers to the wood reed that vibrates to make the sound. That is why a sax is a woodwind despite being made of metal!

Almost, but not quite. Woodwinds also include flutes, which definitely don't have reeds. from Wikipedia:
"A woodwind instrument is a wind instrument in which sound is produced by blowing through a mouthpiece against an edge or by a vibrating reed, and in which the pitch is varied by opening or closing holes in the body of the instrument. "

I know, I'm being kinda nitpicky. Don't take it personally.

You're right! I forgot about that exception.

Check the attached image for KT's instruments.
Violin, viola, a little piano, a little harmonic, a little gee-tar, a little fife. I'm gonna learn tuba and coronet, too. Only because we just happen to have the instruments.
I might learn me some zither and some accordion.
I REALLY want to learn accordion, but I don't have the instrument or the strength to push in the sides.
Also, I want to learn bagpipe.
A deadly combination... a violist with a bagpipe... hahaha


...and does music theory count as an instrument? haha

Taylor 814ce
Jackson Dinky DK1
Gibson Les Paul Custom
Old Charvel from the 80's

I'm really not worthy of such nice guitars, I wish I could play them better!

Also, my Marshall Artist head.

Beautiful Taylor.

I promise I'll get a picture of my guitars on soon.

 

[Plymouthbreezer]

Flute... It's not a great one, I'll get a newer one next year.

 

[jeffzoom]

The guy that said wood winds rule or something, did you play through high school? because i have heard several marching bands from high school to collage and guess what, woodwinds have taken the children rules up (seen but not heard). So just because of that i will post my trumpet, perchased to see if i liked it, found out i love it. Band instrament players, don't be scared, go take a picture.


sorry about the quality, my primary camera kinda won't let go of the polarizer

having taught, on and off, since 1982, i believe anybody deserves the best instruments they can afford

sometimes having a great instrument, through luck/relatives/fate/saving up makes learning the guitar easier and more enjoyable

that being said the two best professional rock players where i live use a squier strat; and no-name '60s guitars on stage (the second guy has a nice american standard strat and a japanese 1960s fender reissue strat but rarely seems to bring them out on stage)...in the end for both these players, it's their fingers that do the work

one jazz player i know (the only working jazz player in the area) had a $2500 dollar george benson signature model (from ibanez) but now prefers to play a guitar that costs less than half of that and basically sounds great either way

as you get better, you will gig and record and maybe even tour, and on some nights or sessions, you may find a great sound in a cheap guitar or cheap amp...during the making of one cd for my friend in '92 (when making a cd was prohibitively expensive), i had to lay down a lead guitar solo and my charvel, '68 telecaster, or '65 melody maker didn't sound right so i used a $200 dollar used yamaha strat copy through a 10 watt practice amp and got this amazing sound i have never been able to replicate

 

[fistful]

Acoustic: Yamaha FG-412S

Electric: Danelectro DanoBlaster. has four built in effects: Distortion, Tremolo, Echo and Auto Wah.

I know what you mean...

Yes it sure does.

Since I'm 37, married, with a kid, and not in a band, I don't think I'll be touring anytime soon.

Ahh the EDGE part is what allows the flute to qualify, good catch.

@quackattack, tenor is great sounding sax, always loved how the high notes sounded. The Soprano killed my lips, severly, so it was left alone. I'm gonna keep my eye out this fall for an auction for an Alto.

@EvilErnie, busout your instrument, your kid I'm sure will love it. Teach him/her to play as well, you'll be surprised how well they'll take to it if they like it.

Is there any new bands with a member that is married and has a kid? Or more renowned bands that when started out had a member with a kid? THat would be strange, yet cool I think. Might add dimension to song writing.

 

[spacefreak4]

Well I would post pics of my brass instruments, but they are all rented from school, so they are all really ugly looking. I don't understand how people before me manage to put so many dents in them...

heres my little collection. Roland E-28 keyboard (xmas present back in 1998), some random, but quite expensive acoustic purchased in Spain 2002, and my beautiful tobacco sunburst Epiphone SG. of course theres my ocarina and panpipes which live on the pin board behind my PB.
also got a Zoom GFX707 but i dont usually play with my amp, which is VERY old and not strictly a guitar amp, but i wouldnt trade it for anything.

http://satansam.co.uk/ftp/zoomandamp.jpg

i play the guitar pretty well, mainly rhythm. good on keyboard but im more keen on the feel of a piano http://satansam.co.uk/ftp/piano.jpg
all coming through the lovely twin Wharfedale speakers http://satansam.co.uk/ftp/speakers.JPG tiny but very powerful. its a strange set up for a guitarist but i dont play band stuff, i just play whatever comes to me. usually with an acoustic/clean sound.

wow, cool collection...i didn't know all these mac users had in home music stores

if i had another room in my house, i swear i would put up a music room with computer (only for music), keyboard, and instruments...but as it is there's the guest room with computer and office, bedroom, and maybe 300 sq ft left for bathroom kithchen and dining/living room

Nice desk, don't you find it a bit dry sounding though?

Some of the stuff people have posted in this thread is great I'd love to see more posts. I'm gonna get pics of all my music stuff for tomorrow.

 

[SkyBell]

Something similar to this:

It's a Kings trombone, just not this new.

I can also play the baritone and percussion, but this is the only one i own and play regularly.

 

[backsidetailsli]

[Mike Teezie]

Don't adjust your monitors, my stuff is left handed. From left to right:

Midi Controller

Fender "Parts-o-caster" - One guitar built from my favorite bits of three different Fender Strats.

Rivera Fandango 55w Head w/ 2x12 cabinet.

Custom shop Gibson Les Paul - basically a standard R6, but with a custom fatter neck carve. That coupled with the fact it's a lefty, and the super rare Brazilain rosewood fretboard, make it the only guitar like it in the world.

I'll drag the pedal board out later and snap a shot.

 

[1337cowsgomoo]

I play a couple instruments...

2001-built carved upright bass (Paesold)

drums..

Pearl Exports w/ Evans G2's, and Sabian B8's (practice kit)

Not shown: Fender Strat (2000), Fender Jazz Bass (2003), Baldwin Piano (19??)
