Hats With Musical Instruments

[mikespens]

Here's a hat in my record shelf, it's in there somewhere.

Straw and derby on old turntable. Paul Whiteman's "Lady of the Night" ready to play.

Hi Perry¡¡¡ en nuestro México estos aparatos se llamaban CONSOLAS ¡¡¡¡
Cheers ¡¡¡

Gracias amigo. Aqui son muy antiguas, estos consolas. Se usa aparatos mas modernas ahora.

I have to go through the stack of records, and figure out what I want to get rid of (more than likely the whole thing)! My 1930s/40s Stetson Special is making an appearance.

 

[Rogera]

My Campdraft I just finished trimming the binding off of.

Geddy Lee bass?

 

[Rogera]

Geddy Lee bass?

Yes'sir. That bass was a workhorse for me when I was still playing. I can't ever just walk by it and not pick it up.

Martin 2012 D-18 bought about 6 months ago:

Ovation 1974 Balladeer in it's case and a couple of others in the background:

I'm including myself as an instrument since I sing...lol

Some things are needed for the right Vintage Twang: The right boots, hat, drums, and lap steel. Everyone else supplied the rest!





My favorite musical instrument! You can feel it in your bones! Great instruments and hats everyone. I am trying to figure out how to hang a hat on one of my harmonicas! Sure like them straw hats. I will need one real soon!

 

[Historyteach24]

alright here are my humble additions to the thread. first 1 is my camp draft with my mandolin

I think the hat maybe bigger than my poor mandolin lol. Next 1 is my brand new custom Tummy with my favorite musical instrument my Taylor acoustic

next 1 is self explanatory

 

[howardeye]

Looking good teach. How does that Taylor sound? I like A style mandolins. I have one hidden at work to pass the time.

 

[Historyteach24]

I am a devout taylor man. I feel that the sound is head and shoulders above any other guitar close to its price range.

 

[howardeye]

I agree. For finger pickin my wife's small body K22 is the best sounding newer accoustic we have owned. I am still dreaming of a Martin D28 from the 30's but price range is a factor.

 

[Historyteach24]

I would love a martin but dont love the prices

 

[splintercellsz]

Not sure if you can really call it an instrument, but I 'produce' songs on my PC for fun. Here is my Stetson Derby partaking in being a critic on a work in progress.

Here's my VS Stendahl in black cherry on my celtic harp. It's like the kind on the Guiness bottle with metal strings. I was a serious guitarist for many years but carpal tunnel ended my guitar playing days in the 1980s so in 1997 I took up the harp:

Here's the harp itself if anyone is interested.

 

[Grizzly Adams]

Resistol western with 1976 Vintage OME. Paying for the beer!

 

[Joe Rotax]

...carpal tunnel ended my guitar playing days...

Yeah, I'm getting a little concerned about that myself. Been playing more than 45 years but the last 7 months or so I've put in a lot of time sometimes 6-8 hours in one go and now I got a cyst on my left wrist and a little pain in my left elbow. When I was younger I could play for days at a time and up until now never had no problems - I'm wondering if it's the neck profile on this Martin - it's similar to what I've always used but takes more pressure to play even though the action set up is identical to my other dreads and they're all really easy to play. Not sure why that is - fret size on all of them is about the same, action is the same but the Martin takes more effort - not that much more that it's an issue with the guitar when I'm playing it but playing it for a lot of hours seems to add up into some physical effects.

 

[howardeye]

Old age and nerve damage. My fingers and hands are even locking up at times.

 

[Joe Rotax]

My hands are fine and I can play fiddle/bluegrass stuff on guitar faster than they need to be played but I think this is something to do with the guitar - profile too flat maybe. I should probably use the other guitars more might take the load off but this D-18 sounds like rolling thunder and I can't put it down...lol
