AI6YR Ben@tsherrygeo LOL Coax *is* expensive, isn't it. https://www.etsy.com/listing/1634859931/no-coax-left-in-this-vehicle-overnight?ls=r&ref=items-pagination-9&pro=1&content_source=552b46f72603d84f7b5c736ef5fcc9c1%253ALTdb06e2bcedf61041b9945cdc020d17e7dc70e428&logging_key=552b46f72603d84f7b5c736ef5fcc9c1%3ALTdb06e2bcedf61041b9945cdc020d17e7dc70e428
W6KME@tsherrygeo @ai6yr Reminds me of the time I left my clarinet on the seat of my car. When I got back, I found a broken window and two more clarinets.
Eric the half-a-beeSurely you mean the Accordion, Banjo or French Horn (impossible to play- ask me)…
@Ericthebeeover2 @tsherrygeo @ai6yr Would you believe I play accordion AND banjo? And I actually majored in french horn.
You know what else? I really am a hit at parties 😂 👍
Paul_IPv6@W6KME @Ericthebeeover2 @tsherrygeo @ai6yr
add bagpipe and i think you win. :)
@paul_ipv6 @Ericthebeeover2 @tsherrygeo @ai6yr Helll, I BUILT my personal set of Scottish smallpipes. And played in a competition pipe and drum band for years.
@W6KME @Ericthebeeover2 @tsherrygeo @ai6yr
nice!
i can play a chanter but have never gotten a full set of pipes.
having to use your own lungs instead of a bag is a useful self-limiting on how much i play it. :D
@paul_ipv6 @Ericthebeeover2 @tsherrygeo @ai6yr Check out smallpipes...chanter is an octave lower than Highland pipes, and you blow with a bellows under your right arm. Nice decent indoor parlor instrument. And absolutely hysterical to try and coordinate everything for the first few hours.
@W6KME @Ericthebeeover2 @tsherrygeo @ai6yr
there are various "parlor" pipes in many places in EU and every so often i think of getting a set. so far, my partner has managed to pull me back from the brink.
@paul_ipv6 @Ericthebeeover2 @tsherrygeo @ai6yr there's one instrument in my life I have never played, and it's still the one goal in my life that I hope to fulfill is Irish uilleann bagpipes. I did have a very poor quality homemade practice chanter and bag/bellows, so I've got some background with it, but I've never gotten my hands in a real set of pipes. I swear I will not die without mastering that instrument though
@W6KME @Ericthebeeover2 @tsherrygeo @ai6yr
a piper i know did say the learning curve is a bit ugly but it is a really cool instrument.
as an instrument geek, just the build/mechanics of it fascinate me.
