A question for the musically inclined

[kept back]

I know there are a fair number of members here that play an instrument. I was curious as to who plays what and what kind of gear you have.

Guitarist don't be shy about your pedal boards. Interested in knowing what's popular.

My gear these days is narrowed down to a Gibson acoustic that is left alone far too often. :(

I play accoustic guitar and am learning the banjo. I'm also repairing a ukulele that I hope to learn eventually. Also, I studied piano for years, but don't have room for one. I'm not crazy about keyboards, but I just got my old one from my aunt's house because I've been jonesing to play. It will have to suffice until we buy a house and I have my piano moved.

I'm a horrible musician, but I love music - so I have a lower-end, cheaper instruments to bang around on with friends once in a while - but nothing worth noting.

I have two accoustic Gibsons. One is a little dreadnaught from '64 (nice for sitting around the campfire) and one is a bigger 6-string from early 70's. I am not a good player, but I enjoy playing simple songs.

I don't play but work for a large music retailer. If you are looking for a specific recommendation and give me the specifics; I can ask our guitar merchandise expert. He knows just about everything there is to know about guitars/accessories and also plays guitar as well.

I used to play Jew's Harp --- seriously

Flying V

[Random Axe]

My band's guitarist was always trying to teach me to play, but I was terrible with no hope of improving. I invested in three guitars, a BC Rich Virgin, a Charvel strat and an Ovation Celebrity acoustic. Stringed intruments in my hands were useless so I sold them.

I can still play a bunch of woodwinds including alto and soprano sax and I still remember a little piano. My microphone of choice is a Shure SM-58.

[Toy Talk]

I was a percussion major in college until I found out music teachers can't afford to eat. However, I do still play from time-to-time. My set is a simple 5 piece Yamaha with some bells and whistles: double bass, cow bell, rotos, etc.
