It's pretty cool but he and I both kind of hate the plastic kalimba-esque tines on the front right. I'm trying to talk him into removing those and putting something like the moonn Drone a Little Drone in that place. The rest of it is great though, my favorite part being the long antennae when...

Got tickets to see the Bad Plus Farewell Tour at the Mt. Hood Jazz Festival. Equally excited and sad. 1st time seeing them, though I've seen Chris Speed twice with the Claudia Quintet.

I just spent a few hours auditioning pedals on my drummer's "auxiliary noise" set up. He has a kalimba I made with a cheapo transducer pickup and Leaf Audio Soundbox along with a contact mic he's been attaching to his snare with a few effects and a looper all on a little table to the left of...

I used to play in a hip hop group and one song's lyrics were all just food related violence. I only remember the chant during the hook which was "causin' crazy damage... with my sammich!"

I sit in a standard metal folding chair. A busted swivel chair sounds pretty fancy to me.

I'm always confused by this use of tape. I know that low effort is an aesthetic but going tape free isn't that hard. Strap locks aren't expensive and have cheap alternatives. I also prefer the look of a gaping hole over a taped hole. Giggity.

Much appreciated. That took 10 minutes with the brush tip sharpie "creative markers." I can do it again. I do kind of wish I hadn't started my "JHS always gets rainbows" thing because that means I'll never put a rainbow pedal on my board. 😆

First thing, I gotta acknowledge that this is a spite build. Spite aside, I kinda don't hate it. Well... more accurately the things I dislike were fully known to me going in to it. I'm not big on clean blended fuzz so the constant presence of clean signal isn't my jam but it is a good sounding...

My wife was an oboe/voice major. I would never wish the oboe upon anyone I cared about. I have mostly played basses, guitars and trombones and they're all super easy to maintain. The slide and valves required a brief daily lubrication routine and yearly deep cleaning and that's about it. Reed...

Yep, I've been dreaming of a good deal on a used low end marimba for like 20 years. Some day when I no longer have expensive diy habits (lol, riiiight) I'll save up enough to justify buying one. Alternate justification plan is to convince one of my kids to become an aspiring pro percussionist.

The voice my brain chose to read these in:

The good ol' blatweasel. All the potential intonation challenges of a viol with the same social shunning that comes with playing the bassoon.
