Mine live in their cases unless I need to play them. I have 3 out at any one time. 2 out on hangers, and the EUB just stands there on its own (!) The rest are in cases and get rotated in and out as I see fit.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
josie Posted December 22, 2018 Share Posted December 22, 2018 (edited) Living in a very small rented flat, I can't fit wall hangers. So they're out on floor stands. - I'll pick one up on impulse just for 5 minutes, which can easily turn into 15. - I do play all of them - some more than others - but I make a point of picking up a different one every day. - They make me smile. None of those would happen if they were in cases. Edited December 22, 2018 by josie Slightly less blurry pic 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodinblack Posted December 22, 2018 Share Posted December 22, 2018 Yep, the whole immediacy of having an instrument there. For years I had a lot of keyboards around, but never played them because of the effort to set stuff up. Now I go into my room, press 1 on the power button and all my keyboards / mixer / amp comes to life. I press a key on something, it makes sound. With the bass, theres some upstairs, theres some downstairs. Some advert comes on the telly, I will grab a bass and play along to the advert, just because, well, it is what I do. There is a guitar there too, just in case. And a flute. And a AKAI wind instrument. All just ready for inspiration. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
