Of my own, I have a Yamaha Stage Custom drumset with Zildjian ZBT cymbals (some think that brand sucks, it was what I got when I first started playing. I think they're alright, not great, but workable. I want some K's, but they're really expensive, and I'd frankly rather leave my drumset as it is now (which is fine) and buy more CDs ), a pair of bongos, and a Yamaha alto saxophone. My brother has a pretty low-end looking coronet, and my sister's got a clarinet rented out til May or June. Neither of them use either of those, I fiddle about with them now and then. Our family has a very, very old, bad-condition Knabe upright piano, which I like despite bad condition (not falling apart or anything, just starting to wear thin on the tone and tuning). My brother has an Ibanez electric acoustic guitar and a Fender Squire Strat, I never bother with guitars so I don't use those. He also has a bass, not sure which model/company, I use that now and then. Not sure which amps he has for those. And then, we have an electric keyboard, I believe it's a Yamaha, which is a really, really bad keyboard. I can't stand playing on it because none of the sounds sound real, and the keys don't feel anything like real piano keys. On top of all that, we've got the various tambourines, whistles, kazoos, etc.

Okay, for me? Where to start. I have a, E.M.Winston Flute, a piccolo, A selmer wood clarinet, a Bundy student clarinet, A Fender jazz bass, a Washburn bass, A guitar (Haha I forgot the brand, how smart of me...), A Selmer triple french horn, Tama drum set, Yamaha keyboard, and I'm pretty sure I have more stuff, but I can't really think of anymore. Those instruments are the basic ones I play the most. I play horn and bass mostly...

Right Now all I own is trombone and a decent keyboard, and they currently aren't even in the same state as me, oh sadness. But I really want to get myself a acoustic guitar. I want something good but I'm definitly living on a budge heh, any suggestions?

Oh yes and of course I'll be getting Reason 2.5 within the week, Can't wait.

Peace out

Hmm, the end of the note for my current track is suppose to say...If you haven't heard him...you need too. That is of course unless your not ready for it. hehehe

Acoustic guitars are tricky. I've played $900 guitars I liked better then $2000 types. You really need to try a lot of them in all types of price ranges. A couple hours at the local Guitar-Mart should do the trick.

Good luck. I have a inexpensive Washburn that I like very much.

Got this for my birthday:





That's not a picture of my actual drum, although mine's exactly the same except for the strap, and I'm assuming they're the same size, since it looks about right.

Oooooooh.

(said with wonder and amazement, and gigantic eyes)

Thanks for the advice Pittman. I've had many people tell me washburn guitars are good and fairly priced as well. Car comes first. But I'll keep everythig in mind.

Peace

jazzfromhell...I have a djembe identical to that one too-or awfully close to that-Leon Mobley Signature Series...they are nice!! The deep tones are awesome and the variety of sounds is remarkable.

I bought some Sabian 13" Fusion Hi-Hats and stand...

Are you feeling okay? Cause that doesn't sound like someone who's feelin' okay.
