Instrument pictures

I'll have to wait till I get back home at the end of next week to post a pic. If this thread is still active then. But I have a bodhran, two low whistles and an assortment of highs. Also a bagpipe practice chanter that may or may not be in NY (I know the cheezy pakistani one is here in WA), a set of andean panpipes, and a handful of different sized recorders.

Erik,

Is that horn in your picture a shofar, or is it a gemshorn? Just curious

Seth,

It is a Shofar - from Israel. I now wish that I would have had money for the really big one, but that's another story

Stan, Greg's right - Train whistle, from the 1880 train in Keystone, SD. You'd be suprised at the whistley things that I get once friends find out that I collect whistles.

Hey, I should have made this a contest!

"IT" is his Overton bass A. I have one too!

Best,
Chris

I'm a member of the Overton Bass A club, too! Got one a couple of weeks ago from Ronaldo Reyburn, and it made its debut in Church last week. Sweet whistle, but what a beast!!!

Erik:
What is that crockodile thing and the multi-colored thing near it? And that pretty wooden thing on the bottom right near the toy with the painted stripes?

Oh, and that black bass is GORGEOUS!


edited so as to help keep this thread going.

Hi Elliot -

Let's see if I can figure it out. That crockodile thing is actually a loon. It is a Lakota Native American Flute from South Dakota. It was a high school graduation present a number of years back; my father knows the man that made it. If I remember correctly, it was made by 'Lakota George' in Pine Ridge (?) but I'm not certain where he's from.

Multi-colored thing is a totem whistle from Peru (it has a real name but I can't remember it). My sister-in-law and family live there so we have a lot of Alpaca, Llama and other Peruvian articles

For the third thing, I'm not certain which one you're talking about, but at the bottom of the picture is a painted Peruvian ocarrina; above that is a train whistle and above that is a Romanian carved whistle (which looks cooler than it sounds!).

Thanks for asking Erik

p.s. Black bass is actually a Clarinet.

[elliott]

No no. The black bass back on page one is gorgeous.
I have too many hideous memories of junior high school to ever think of a clarinet as gorgeous.

[ErikT]

Oh well, yeah, that's a black bass I was also enjoying taking a look at David's fiddle back guitar.

C'mon kids, bring on the pictures!

Happy 2003!
