How many instruments do you play? (4 Viewers)

[Unknown Convict]

none but that didn't stop me getting roped in to give a music class to 20+ montessori kids tomorrow. have been collecting bits from the recycling (tissue boxes, plastic bottles, corrugated plastic, etc. + bought coloured rubber bands) for the last few weeks so we're going to make instruments and attempt to learn/sing sebadoh's "i love me". (slight concern that "i love me" is an onanist anthem.) wish me luck...

this was the most crack i've had in a while! leading 19 3 & 4 year olds stomping around the room, pied piper-style, to a chorus of "i love me, can't you see, 1-2-3, i love me" with homemade trumpets, washboards, shakers and drums.

Yamahas are generally really good acoustic guitars for the price, @magicbastarder, also been hearing good things about Freshman, a UK guitar made with top parts for half nothing in China

tanglewood make good guitars, buy ye know, spend as much as you can.

Yeah Tanglewoods are nice but some of their necks can be a bit wide and bulky feeling. Grand if you're into that sort of thing but if you're a Fender or Squier user it takes a bit of getting used to. If I recall correctly they're made of stern stuff and quite weighty.

i wish! probably woulda needed 19 letters of parental consent plus background checks and i've plenty to hide...

Youd hardly need ask permish to pop an auld tape recorder on surely?
