1 Clarke Celtic Sweetone
2 kazoos

I just heard of Rondellus last week. This cd is a hoot, to me, as I cut my teeth to sabbath

The Acorn is painted green and the Oak is plated. I may use them to learn tweaking. They flip pretty easy compared to the Clarkes I have.

Taffeta, darling!
Taffeta, sweetheart...

The Hey Ya Charlie Brown has been in my house for over a year, now I delight in viraling it everywhere I go. It's a pretty sweet hack.

The last two, I really don't like that much yet. The Clarke Trad and the Celtic are the ones I've played the most since acquiring them.
