h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

What musical instruments do you have lying around the house? Most people have something, but some gather dust and some are regularly used.

In my house we have:

SWL - Electric Guitar, Semi-Acoustic Guitar, 12-string Semi-Acoustic Guitar all used daily. I also have a Jews Harp somewhere.

Mrs SWL has - 3 mouth organs, (used occasionally), a didgeridoo, a bhodran and a fiddle which are used as ornaments.

SWL Minor has an acoustic Guitar used noisily & frequently.

BTW, do not include lots of model numbers of synths, samplers, drum machines etc. These are the tools of Satan and have as much in common with music as corned beef has with mountaineering

Four electric guitars (one with dodgy electrics), one acoustic guitar, two classical guitars, one bass guitar, one ukulele (guitar), one mandolin, one drum kit and a keyboard.

Ah, so are you a drummer or a guitarist then

Well... I did play drums in a short-lived band a couple of years ago (our lead guitarist emigrated to Norway and our singer/songwriter went off to University... )

I personally have a flute, an acoustic guitar, and an electrical keyboard. Otherwise in the house there are 2 recorders and possibly a euphonium.

2 x 5-string Bridge Lyra Electric violins
