Non bass but still interesting gear porn.

[7string]

This is probably the best musical instrument bargain I've ever had. Hence this thread

This is something that I really wanted to try and get hold of by they're just way too expensive to buy. I've never actually played one or seen someone playing one live, so shelling out a load of cash would just be plain silly.

So here's the case with said instrument inside. It's 90cm x 33cm x 14cm and weighs 19kg (42lbs) ([b]Merello[/b] you know what it is already so don't jump in).



Any guesses. I'll reveal more pics as we go...

Lap steel guitar? Some sort of glockenspiel?

Pedal Steel (twin-neck? or possibly a single?)

Celtic harp.

That has to be the biggest and heaviest flügelhorn ever.

My guess: ondes martenot. Or maybe a Fender Rhodes or similar, although I'm pretty sure the last Rhodes I played was a bit bigger than that.

It's one of those fold out guitar stands, isn't it?

[paul h]

Is it a comb?

Looks like a cat to me

The worlds biggest harmonica? You'll need a set of bellows up your jacksie to play it!

If that's Schrödinger's cat, it should be [i]inside[/i] the box.

The box is too small:
