Your next dream instrument

[Key_of_D]

Well I've just recently started ful-filling a dream of mine to learn a bagpipe. It used to be for many years I wanted to learn the highland pipes, untill about 3 years ago or so, I started getting into Irish trad music, and first heard the amazing sound of the uilleann pipes... Since I had been playing Irish trad tunes on the tin whistle for 3 years, I figured it would make most sense to learn the uilleann pipes, and honestly, I've no regrets. Maybe down the road I'll still take up the highland pipes, although recently I'm starting to fall for the mellow sound of the smallpipes as well. I guess my answer would be to master the uilleann pipes... I've got roughly 20 years and 7 months

But first...This:

Where's the shower ??

[Key_of_D]

Real campers don't take showers... Or have those nice trailers either!

[jsluder]

If time was no object, I might be competent at playing the instruments I already own (whistle, fiddle, guitar, harmonica). The only thing I'd consider adding to the list is my dad's custom mandolin, but there's not enough money in the universe to get him to part with it.

I'm not proposing that I'll be a real camper. (have been though!)
Oh, and the showers are a)at the campground, or b)in the hotel on splurge nights.

c)when its raining

Almost exactly the same, except I have a mountain dulcimer as well. It's my Mum's old fiddle I'd love to learn to play. It's there, in the corner of the room. It's not time that prevents me - it's the rest of the family.


Actually, I wouldn't mind one of those saxophone things of Redwolf's.

I am content as a Flute, Whistle, Mando/Bouzouki player, but I would really love to get a Martin Doyle 4 key with Eb, Long F, Right Hand Bb, and G# keys. As for Whistle a Swayne or an Abell. For Mandos a Long scale Sobell or Spira 5 course Cittern with Low C/D string and a Pheonix Jazz Mandolin.

More importantly...where's the toilet?

right!

A full set in B! Maybe a Gallagher, as I know I like them, but pretty much any decent B set would be my dream instrument.

Well, if it's a dream instrument....

Ooooh. I wanted to build those in my mother's garage when I was a teenager. First, there was no room for the 16 footers, and Second, she said NO.

A fellow euph player here on the chiffboard? Who'd have thought it?

Sorry: having to belt out 'Dona Nobis Pacem' , 'Alouette' + a couple Rubank etudes for a brass methods class in the early 90's really dosent qualify me to fit that description...thanks for the though!

My GHP player friend offered to trade me pipe lessons for theory lessons, but thus far neither of us have found the time, and I already play too many instruments to keep up with properly anyway...

Oh Thank God! Finally, someone else I can talk theory with!
(modulating to the flat submediant minor's dominant... )

Friend of mine built a pipe organ in his rowhouse in Kensington ( not the London one) once upon a time, but then he moved onto a boat + couldnt take it with him... tough sell that house anyway;

Actually, my drean instruments are 3 different kinds of bagpipes, would be kind of tough (but completely interesting ) to try to hook them all up into ONE super-quasi sei palmi bohemian zampbock de court...nah.

Right now, I'd like a nice wooden whistle like a Busman. Maybe a D+.
