Oooh COOL thread!!
I’ll take MORE pictures of “The Music Room” at our next practice..
But here’s some instruments that are hanging out at my place in between.
The string pile! There’s a 7-string Washburn, The kid’s acoustics, MY fender acoustic and a BADASS mandolin.
The bongos, for “home/portable percussion”
A couple Chord Organs I mess around with.
Annnnnd the Ocarina. (I can’t locate Riley’s Harmonica collection, ((C, D and A
)))

When the world was in black and white, my parents spent a lot of money to buy a TV set because my father was a football fan, and actually a very good semi-pro football player. He played with Raymond Kopa and Just Fontaine, but that's another story.
I was 7 then, in 1962, they bought a TV set to watch the football world cup. I mean football, what some call soccer, not american "football" which is closer to a form of mongrel rugby.
But first, I could see real sport: rugby where I was, in Aurillac, and watch a couple of hours of TV in a week.
One of my favourite programmes was "histoires sans paroles", showing excerpts from silent movies made in the US, and it started like that, "chicken reel" played on the piano, drumsticks, and, I think, ocarina :

Cool stuff.
I have decided to learn to play bass.
But first, I gotta grow it.
musical instruments are like bonsai right.
seeds, time, some cutting, a little wire and there you have it.
the pruning has begun

Nice! NICE!
Looks like you could fit a Five-String Neck on there...
Radical!
Next one, look into full-hollow body Acoustic bass.. serious.
I like playing bass... it’s ALL about your rhythm-hand texhnique.

I had a Peavey Five string Bass that got taken from me, and essentially, cooked into spoon water and delivered intravenously....
f*ckin tweakers.
f*ckin tweakers.
I’m doing a 4 on this. It will be fully hollow once all the carving is done.
If I can learn to play it, I’ve already started doodling out plans for an acoustic 5 of a radical design and a scroll head like an upright.
once I’m done maybe you could give me a couple of lessons!

That’s COMPLETELY do-able!
Nice.
I will have to figure how to do some kind of live on line thing like a Teams or Webex or something.
I’ll look you up once I can play Mary Had a Little Lamb, and I’m ready to bust out some blues and start walking.

Sounds like a plan.. I’ve been informed by both my sons that they would like guitar lessons.. so I will be getting my “teaching structure” in order anyways... I haven’t GIVEN guitar lessons I was 16
I found a copy of the first sketch planning this out.
it is funny, I was digging through the garage looking for a piece of wood for the bonsai stand thread, and found that quarter sawn sycamore board, and just thought it would be a pretty top for a guitar, then the first chalk sketch on wood, the neck layout and …
The rest is wood chips and sawdust.
