Instrument Hangers have transformed the Living
Room.
From just left of the front door, to the back right hand
corner of the room.
Brutus' leash, keys, hats, and my Christmas Stocking (be
prepared, eh?)
Julie Morse brought me five ukuleles. The one on the left is actually a
Cavaquinho, a Brazilian instrument normally tuned with steel strings,
which provides the high end for Bossa Novas. We restrung it,
tune it like a uke, are are using it as one model for the stringa
-- a new Belizean stringed instrument.
We will start ukulele classes for little ones soon.
Newer:
We did start teaching a class, and you can see it here.
My Squier Jazz Bass, my Jag-Stang, and my trustworthy
"Pan" flat top which served me so well when I was teaching music at
CCC.
Newer:
One of the wood pegs I put in for these heavier instruments actually broke, and
almost plummeted my Jag-Stang to the tile floor! So I replaced all of the
pegs with steel pegs, and covered them with heatshrink tubing to protect the
instruments.
This shows some detail of the back wall. In the center
is my Squier "Mini" -- the replacement for my 1952 Gibson
ES-140. On the left, a peek at the kitchen, and the hanging headphones and
sound cables from the laptop in the next room. To the right of the mini, a
peek into the guest room, where fans pump cool air from the back yard into the
living room.
In the back right-hand corner, the drums, and behind them, a
hanger for a bag of sticks and my washboard, perhaps the only musical one in
Belize. (Most Belizeans are natural drummers, and they love the
washboard!!)
