    @burnspbesq - Awesome can't wait to see some pics! WIll try to post my 7-string and 5-string Ibanez guitar and bass in a bit. Already posted my Ernie Ball MusicMan John Petrucci JP13 BFR (Ball Family Reserve) but the picture was taken on an old 5MP camera and doesn't look so great.

    Next up, I will show you my whole home studio setup -but right now everything is is all packed up as I have put recording aside while working on SBAF site. Once SBAF gets settled in pretty well, I'll continue on my album.

    thanks - it's also nice to take a little break from recording as when you have to do it all yourself (writing, performing, recording, mixing etc) just producing one song takes forever! Luckily I have a friend of mine who said he would do the professional Mastering on them in his studio. But as of right now, it seems completing this album is far away yet.

    Here's my 1863 J.B. Vuillaume, late Strad model.
    I say "my", but it doesn't belong to me yet, per se. But I've been given permission to play on it for the last couple years, and hope to make it mine soon. I do apologize for the blurry back shot.

    Apart from the previous owner, I have no idea. Basically, a violin maker is my father in law, his father was a famous violist/violinist in Bern, Switzerland, his mother also a violinist, and the violin was in that family. No idea who had it before that. I can ask him. I personally am such an unsentimental guy I never really cared too much about that sort of thing. :p

    I've got a fancy $2000 trumpet at school and someday I'll bring it home and get a pic. Maybe I'll get a pic of my $40 Kanstul practice trumpet in the basement instead. :p

    Just got in a new Selmer/Maccaferri-style tenor uke made by Shelley Park. Been waiting for it for months so going to be a good weekend of breaking it in.

    I gotta remember to take a picture of my piano. A 1905 (best estimate based on serial number) Ellington, which was a subset of the Baldwin brand way back then. Got it for $100 from the local classified, but spent $2k to restore the damned thing. A very frivolous use of my money at the time, but there was something in the tone of it that captured me. Something about a century old sound board that just produced a tone that modern pianos can't. And the crazy guy who fixed it (I'm convinced all piano tech are a little bit crazy) even replaced all the missing ivories!

    Bach Stradovarius trumpet and my workhorse Kanstul somethingrather. I'm balancing the Kanstul on my foot because there's no hope for it ever looking nice again. Mouthpiece is jammed in there harder than I'm gonna be this weekend.
    I've also got a $30 yamaha keyboard, and an upright piano being used as a trinket holder. I could also post a pic of my drums, but that'd just be everything my hands touch.
