want to know how many instruments do you have and which part of your home do you fit them in.
i have an upright piano, a flute, a clarinet, 1 treble and 2 descent recorders, 1 acoustic and 1 electric guitars and 1 harmonica. i need to fix all of them in to my very small bedroom(but i like them to be in my bedroom) and also millions of sheets music and music books(can't stop buying!!!), guitar amp, music stand, lots of accessories and billions of cds(can't stop buying)!!! which make me cannot not find an area left to put some other things in there.

1 digeridoo (bedroom)
1 set of panpipes (bedroom)
1 flute (bedroom)
1 piano (study)
3 recorders (scattered about the house)
1 keyboard (music/dining room)

I think that is it.

1 clavinova (literally in the middle of the living room)
1 violin (down the side of the seatee somewhere)
1 renaissance 6-course lute (cunningly disguised as a cheap Argos guitar with a different tuning and an improvised capo made out of a 2H pencil and half-a-dozen elastic bands )
2 plastic descant recorders (in a drawer)
1 plastic treble recorder, 1 plastic sopranino recorder (in the attic, in another house)
2 clay bongos from Egypt
1 very very strange stringed instrument from Bulgaria that I've never found out how to play

um...
Clavinova (in extended living room)
Various recorders...where ever!
Guitar (my room!)
Er-hu (chinese stringed instrument), my room
Chinese flute (in the kitchen-dont ask why!)
hmmm...i have a feeling i've forgotton something....oh well..

That'll be the viola then

I forgot....and 1 owl hoot in the kitchen drawer

1 piano, 2 violins, 2 violas, 1 cello, 3 recorders, 1 guitar, 2 flutes, 1 sax and 1 clarinet.

1 upright in dining room
2 violas in dining room
1 electronic keyboard in dining room
1 french horn in dining room
2 trombones (brother's) in dining room
2 trumpets in dining room
1 full keyboard electronic piano in brother's room
various recorders in a draw in... the dining room

we also have a teeny tiny dining table in the corner of the dining room!

there's quite a lot of stuff in the dining room

oh, i like er-hu very much(i am from hong kong) and really want to learn. Really can't believe there are british people play er-hu!!!!

Is there any room for diners in the dining room Choddy?

Not really Noodle... we only eat in the dining room on special occasions (the table is actually quite big!) We usually eat in the kitchen!

Probably just as well. You'd need to move the orchestra to get the people in!

Too many and counting.....running out of space rapidly.

At the last count it was.....

3 violins

2 cellos

2 violas

1 oboe

1 clarinet

1 flute

1 digital piano - rarely used because my pianistic skills are almost non-existent, but it's useful for bashing out a few chords or running through an awkward melodic line.

...more sheet music and orchestral scores than possibly Chappell's and Britten's put together,

...a mountain of CD's

...and a multitude of spare violin cases.


Result: overcrowded and chaotic...but then again...a tidy house is the sign of a very boring occupant...or maybe someone who can afford a cleaner to keep things tidy for them.

In descending order of size (approximately!):

1 piano
1 Celtic (level) harp (or clarsach)
1 viola
1 violin
1 glockenspiel
1 clarinet
1 flute (silver)
1 flute (blue, made out of drainpipe!)
4 recorders (2 trebles, 1 descant (currently on loan) 1 tenor)
1 penny whistle
more music/strings/rosin/cases/assorted paraphernalia than you could shake a reasonably sized stick at.

I think that's all. It all lives in the living room. I recently passed on my random collection of African instruments (mostly unwanted things passed on to me by relatives!) to the local primary school along with a little set of coloured tuned bells, but I think I'm doing ok for instruments at the moment...

Right. Let's see:

3 flutes (Powell, Trevor James, Yamaha)
1 piccolo (anon Chinese, absolute rubbish, would buy a better one if I were in an orchestra)
1 sopranino recorder
6 1/2 descant recorders (one missing a body, one chewed by dog)
4 treble recorders
1 tenor recorder
1 bass recorder
1 set of panpipes
2 penny whistles
1 Yamaha fife
1 upright piano
1 set of 16 handbells

Also in music room, but not mine:
1 alto sax
2 guitars (one classical, one acoustic)
1 xylophone
1 set Australian percussion thingies

Elsewhere in house:
2-3 electric guitars
1 bass guitar
1 very nice Ovation acoustic guitar with pick-up (my husband's)
1 half-size violin
1 Yamaha keyboard

And I think that's it!

Wow I thought I had loads.... but I'm being beaten!!

I have
1 Clavinova
5 violins
1 acoustic guitar
1 viola
1 electric guitar
1 penny whistle
1 mandolin
1 drum kit
1 glockenspiel
1 clarinet

.... as well as a kazoo and a swannee whistle!
A round of swannee-kazoo anyone?

I have:

1 Digital keyboard (in bedroom, used to be my Nanna's but I've inherited it while she's in a nursing home)
1 Bassoon (in bedroom, it's a rental, currently lonely as I can't hold it up let alone play it right now )
2 Descant Recorders (in bedroom, actually belong to brothers #1 & #2, but they don't play so I "stole" them)
1 Treble Recorder (in bedroom, borrowed from my boyfriend's dad)

Brother #1 has:

1 Trombone (inhabits his bedroom and he only practices when I'm trying to do composition!)

Brother #2 has:

1 Euphonium (inhabits wherever he puts it down)

We also used to have an electric organ.

I plan to add some more recorders to my list, as well. When I get enough money...

Silly question- can our addresses be obtained from our user names ?

If they can we are nicely listing what we have and what room they are in- this would help thieves immensely !

oh, i see, is eu-hu easy to learn? how much does it cost if you but it in mainland china?(can't find any eu-hu in hong kong!!), can you find a teacher in uk? coz i really want to learn!!!!

i have.....................................

1 digital piano

1 keyboard

1 alto saxophone

1 flute

1 Descant recorder

1 treble recorder

1 melodica

2 electric guitars

by this time next week will also have 1 clarinet! (yay!!!!)

My Dad bought mine, i cant remember how much it was...i bought it in Changchun, i think it was about 200 yuan (correct me if this seems out of proportion, im really not sure!) I don't know about teachers, i bought a load of books and teach myself when i have time...the hardest thing about it is that you have to learn where the notes are (you'll get my drift if you look at a pic of an erhu!) You just place your fingers on any old bit of the strings until you get used to it! I only started playing when i realised i had to do a performance in something for my chinese school the next week and realised they didnt have a piano!

only 200! that is so cheap!! it's like 15 pounds! i am going to get one soon! what is the eu-hu music like? is it like lots of number to show you where your fingers should go?

Do you know Chinese notation for music?
e.g. 1=D and then a load of finger numbers...
