OT: World's smallest guitar (size of blood cell)

Post by TonyHiggins »

http://tinwhistletunes.com/clipssnip/newspage.htm Officially, the government uses the term “flap,” describing it as “a condition, a situation or a state of being, of a group of persons, characterized by an advanced degree of confusion that has not quite reached panic proportions.”

Tell us something.: Been a fluter, citternist, and uilleann piper; committed now to the way of the harp.

Oh, yeah: also a mod here, not a spammer. A matter of opinion, perhaps.

Holy Moley!! That'd be perfect for me. :lol:

Hmmm...should I go DADGAD, standard, or drop-D?

Tony Higgins, if you don't do something about those eyes I'm going to wet my pants and, trust me, you can ask lots of people, you don't want to see that.

Nice article about the guitar. I wonder if it comes with a gig bag or a hardshell case. It says the strings would resonate at inaudible frequencies. There's a few guitarists I know that I wish they'd play inaudibly. :lol:

Wouldn't it have been a drag if they finished the thing and then somebody sneezed?

Haha. That's the kind of sophisticated comic image I like.

"If plucked -- by an atomic force microscope, for example -- the strings would resonate, but at inaudible frequencies."

Inaudible? Hey! It's the perfect guitar for an IrTrad session!

Is that a red blood cell, or a white blood cell? Where's the amp? Details! Details!
If that's the size of a nano-guitar, imagine the size of a nano-whistle...

Tony, would you ask them to make a full set of nano-uilleann pipes for me? In C, of course. I have no desire to play them at a session; it'll be just to charm the occasional pathogen.

BTW, Dale, if anyone's avatar would prompt me to void fluids it would be yours.
