Hi all ... Well, I think the beauty ARE the natural harmonics. I once tried a kalimba that had a corpus with skin on it. Beautiful! Still, playing western...
Of corse if the Xaphoon doesn't appeal (but the fingering does) there are some quite small clarinets. They are very popular in Brittany (France), I understand....
Hi, I just wanted to say how much I'm looking forward to this event and I'm hoping that whomever is coming will come up and say hi. It looks like all the days...
... I earn my living working on harmonicas, but I have fixed a few melodicas over the years. ... It's probably not the reeds that are rattling, but loose parts...

Thanks for the 'Puzzle of Light' link... looks like a great CD. I can't figure out how to search the archive? Help anyone? Anyhow, was going to ask about...
... I would be cautious about buying an instrument like that, I'd compare it with a good concertina. Even though it's made in Italy, it won't have the best...
... A THOUSAND dollars?!? Blimey. It looks like a melodica with a different key layout. Can you get cheap accordinas? I'd like to learn the accordion-style...
... If thats' what you want, you could try and find a small childs chromatic accordion. I've seen them made in Russia with 3 rows, thats' all the notes with no...
on a photosharing site that i belong to, i ran across a very homemade looking stroh-cello. behind the old guy busking is another stroh type thingy. ...

i don't know about the technological side, but i'm told if you leave yoghurt to dry on a CD it can have an interesting affect to the sound. something about the...
... yasunao tone ... advanced (i guess?), even though it was pretty old, it wouldnt play the cd Well yeah, cd players won't play a cd if it can't be tracked,...
it's my understanding you can get playable cd's with altered sounds by pouring bear over cd-r's. I also have gotten cd-r's to be screwy accidentally by using...

Angel has already posted, so I will just add a hearty recommendation for his bamboo saxophones - excellent quality and service from the man. I also find his...
The easiest thing you can do to a CD is to make a small scribble on it with a biro or some other sort of pen. Don't make it very big, or else the CD won't play...
I've actually gotten the best results using a cheapo crap off brand stereo system CD player(NOT mini portable ones). It starts to do wierd things with even a...
