So far Jbarter's response is my favourite - it's nice and musical and has TEN concertinas

But it's still wrong.

I guess no one has the patience to count the whistles or the guesses would be closer to the mark.

I think jbarter should at least get honorable mention for the best answer so far - even if he's not accurate.

Well...?

I'm dying to know the answer.

I gave up as soon as I saw the mug-o'-whistles. (And I don't care what the original post said; I suspect there's an ocarina or something hiding in the bottom of that mug.)

Emmline is the winner, for the closest guess, but still miles out.

There are actually 75 instruments in there:
1 viola
1 electronic fiddle
3 fiddles
1 electronic guitar
2 acoustic guitars
1 travel guitar
3 mandolins
2 banjos
2 bodhrans (and 2 tippers, not counted as seperate instruments in this summary)
3 anglo concertinas
1 english concertina
1 set of pipes (practice set)
1 melodeon
2 harmonicas
5 flutes
1 fife
3 melody pops (candy)
1 piccolo
2 low whistles
39 whistles:
11 whistles on sofa
23 whistles & 1 tabor pipe in the jar
4 whistles on the floor

Grand total: 75 instruments

There are a couple of ocarinas in the house, but they didn't make it into the photo.

Emm, if you pm or email either myself or Avanutria with your snailmail address, we will send off your prize

Congrats Emm. You deserve it!

BTW Martin, I didn't notice that wonderful brass whistle I stuck you...I mean....gave you. I think that's why my post was 26 off.

I won a prize? No way.
(I hope it's an all expense paid trip to London...yes, that's gotta be it!)

Granulations Emm. The prize is probably a lifetime supply of Marmite. (Av's been trying to get rid of her jar)

And that would be a lifetime supply, wouldn't it? For several people.

The prize is what I said it would be - a tasty little musical instrument.
