I have 4 acoustic guitars, two electrical guitars, a mandola, a mandolin or two, a fiddle, two or three banjos, a banjo-mandolin and diverse and sundry other stuff. I can retrieve the makes on some of them, some don't have a brand name on them, and I haven't the faintest idea what model numbers any of them are. The music that comes out of them is only as good every bit the music that comes out of me. They fit me well and play what I hear in my head. For someone who is primarily a singer, who rarely plays with other musicians, the sound of the instrument is most important to me, and the model number isn't necessarily the all-time measure out of that. I bought an Alvarez Signature guitar (1 of the few instruments I can remember the proper name AND model, a few years ago and was fortunate plenty to exist able to play four or five of them and selection the one that sounded all-time. They were all the same model and the same cost, simply there was a fair range of sound to them (to my ears.)
Vi years ago, I bought an electrical guitar... a Hamer. I never heard of the name before. I played a one-half a dozen different brands and models of guitars in the shop, some with makes yous'd recognize. But, the Hamer sounded amend than whatsoever other guitar I played in the store, and so I bought it. I also liked the look of information technology and its Cherry Scarlet color. For electrical guitars, I've seen models for a thousand dollars that I wouldn't be defenseless dead playing considering in my eyes they look ridiculously stupid.
The most gifted musician I always knew, or heard was Luke Faust. He could play the cheapest, warped neck mexican guitar and go far sing sweeter than any $3,000.00 brand name. Plywood topped mandolins sounded like Gibsons in his hands. I've heard people play Gibson mandolins, and all that came out of them were a lot of notes. For a long time, his only guitar was a cheap nylon cord mexican guitar someone left backside when they crashed in his apartment. The neck was pulling away from the trunk, so the action was a mite high, so he asked me to ready it. I ended up accidently breaking the neck from the body, trying to fix it, but got it re-attached with the activeness lowered to a reasonable level, and he played that guitar for a long time. I had to have better instruments than Luke did, because the music inside of me wasn't as good as his, so I had to recoup..

My daytime passion is educational activity early babyhood music to children ages 3 months to three years, with their grownups.
I am in the middle of recording a CD of early on childhood music for Merriweather Records at Ken Whiteley's studio. The musicians who have joined me and then far include Ben Grossman (percussion), Kirk Elliot (fiddle and Irish whistle), Arnie Naiman (banjo), Kathy Reid-Naiman (dulcimer and voice), and Ken himself, playing everything from soup to nuts (piano, accordian, bass, teacup.....). I'm having the time of my life!
I am very proud of the Canadian folk music community. We take great talent in this country. I have had Eileen McGann and David Francey, with Dave Clarke, do firm concerts in my living room. Other folk heros of mine include Bruce Cockburn, Don Ross, Katherine Wheatley and Rick Fines.
I attend many folk festivals every summer, and one of my favourites was the Vancouver Folk Music Festival 2001.

My oldest and favorite guitar is an old Martin 00018. I use that for most song circles, jams, and gigs where I really want the guitar to sound proficient and don't need to dilate it.
For my everyday work (playing and singing at retirement and nursing homes and senior centers, etc.) and whenever I need to dilate the guitar and don't think a mic will piece of work well, I play a cutaway acoustic-electric Sigma (roughly the same size and shape as the Martin).
I like direct-ins for amplifying my guitar, since I move around a lot when I play and sing, and it'southward really hard to go along a guitar mic positioned properly.
I likewise have about eight more guitars (a Martin Backpacker, a three/iv size Ibanez, two dreadnought style flattops, an electric, an Takamine Jasmine cutaway acoustic-electric nylon-cord, an Alvarez that's the same size and shape as my Martin but needs a peg replaced, and an old Gibson LGO which is nice to play but doesn't stay in tune very well, and some other Sigma which I play when I'm in San Diego).
The Backpacker has turned out to be quite user-friendly for keeping by the estimator when I'1000 working on sail music or lyric/chord sheets. The Ibanez is great for travelling when a full size guitar would be besides unwieldy. I haven't really learned to play the electrical yet, but I want to. Several of the others I'd like to sell, merely I haven't got effectually to it yet. It'southward nice to go on 1 or ii of the cheaper guitars on stands in the firm, though, so I tin can grab one when I want to plunk out a tune. (I like to keep the better guitars in their cases so the cats can't knock them over.)
For fun, I play at jams and song circles in Seattle, Portland, and (a few times a year) in San Diego, as well as at the various folk singer gatherings in the Pacific NW (RainyCamp, SunnyCamp, Military camp Runamuck, Singtime Frolics, etc.) and at NW Folklife Festival in Seattle on Memorial Solar day weekend.

Welcome to the Mudcat Jazzyjack.
I play a beautiful 120 bass, 41 central "Super Midget", Italian pianoforte accordion. The dealer who sold it to me thinks it was built at the Crucianelli manufactory. It's about 1/2 the size of most other 120 bass, twoscore+ key piano accordions, and it has equally sweet a sound as whatsoever accordion I've ever heard.
My favorite music to play is traditional Finnish music, but I likewise play some pieces from England, Scotland, France, Canada, and the Usa. I recently married a native Newfoundlander, and he's been instruction me some of the traditional music of that amazing place.
I sometimes play at jam sessions and open mics, but mostly I play at home here in Georgia (USA).

Martin DM, most of fourth dimension and like Mudlark I sing a bit, and like many singers, my playing power stopped when I could back-trail myself on most of the songs I wanted to sing (sad but true). Again like Mudlark an one-time 60's folkie I sing pretty well whatever, from threescore's folk to a lilliputian rock (I belive much of the best rock will be folk music some day) a footling blues some state and western. But in my opinion yous should play whatsoever sounds best to you. Be it a 200 dollar fender a 3000 dollar martin or taylor or a fifty dollar no name you lot pick up in a yard sale.

A Gurian, Jumbo, from the pre-burn era (most 1972) whihc I've had since well-nigh 1981. My son & I also just got an Alvarez AJ60SC, which is a mighty sugariness, ballsy guitar for the money.

But no brass!
Oh, we also have a Casio keyboard and there'southward an onetime pedal organ out in the rumpus room.

I started with a Martin Bb Tenor saxophone (co-ordinate to the mill, made 5 years before I was born), added a King Eb Alto Sax and a Selmer Bb clarinet sometime along the way in loftier school.
Unfortunately, my kids take played all of the higher up - without adept maintenance - so the pads have all fallen out and they are all currently unplayable. The above is somewhat irrelevant since my teeth all roughshod out and I couldn't play them now anyway.
I acquired a "total rack" of p'whistles (C, G, D, A, F, Bb, ...) somewhere during my early on festival days, when I was noted for never missing a note while sipping my beer and non dropping my cig.
Somewhere else forth the line I picked upward a fairly full gear up of harmonicas - currently missing only a good C to be able to not play very well in any fundamental.
During the early years of festival going I got my showtime mando - a Washburn A style, and on one occasion got drunk enough to remember I was playing it. Several in the campsite were also drunk plenty to think the same, just when I sobered upwards the next day I plant that it was a totally recalcitrant instrument from which ordinary humans could not coax music - and then I entered semi retirement in the mando performance area for a few years. (And enjoyed a picayune more music and a lot less "drunkard" at the festivals.)
While on a work transfer from Kansas to Seattle, I met a sweetness young thing who had an urge to visit her female parent in Texas, so on the way to taking her at that place we stopped at my favorite festival in Winfield Kansas, where she became enamored of "music stuff" and bought a kit for a mountain dulcimer - which of form I was delegated to assemble. Nosotros tripped dorsum from Seattle for the next 3 yr's festivals, and then moved back to Kansas but to cut the travel time.
Her interest in "music stuff" led to a revival of my mando career, and ultimately to a much more than expensive Vega F-style - currently unplayable because the knobs all crumbled and savage off the tuners.
Three mountain dulcimers, hand congenital. One new purchased "pretty" laptop dulcimer for the loved i. One (and perchance the merely in existence) double bass washtub bass (two tubs). Ane no-name Chinese standup bass. One Washburn acoustic-electric bass guitar. A Stagi English Concertina (her venture into the world of chromaticity). And a couple of keyboards used mostly for notation input.
And my current number one instrument - a no-name all plywood A-style mandolin, currently sporting a bridgecap whittled out of a clothespin when the original cracked on the second twenty-four hours of terminal twelvemonth'due south festival.
Fortunately, I only play for my own enjoyment - and so I accept none of that "conquering syndrome" stuff to debate with.

Jazzyjack,
Welcome. You're right, this has been discussed before but alot can modify in a short time, so...
I play traditional, roots, folk, blues, vocalizer-songwriter stuff, some classical, hymn tunes, and when the spirit strikes, a bit of loud jam style stone music.
I use: Beneteau 6 string acoustic guitar, Beneteau 12 cord acoustic guitar, Beneteau half-dozen string baritone acoustic guitar, Moon celtic style mandolin, cheap Washburn mandolin, Washburn v string banjo, Telecaster electrical guitar, cheap uke, Harmony Sovereign flat tiptop lap guitar, habitation made steel guitar, dwelling house made bass guitar, headless bass guitar, 5 cord Ernie Ball electrical bass guitar, Harmony archtop guitar, plywood double bass, old German language fiddle, autoharp, diverse harmonicas, pennywhistles, Yamaha keyboard, La Patrie classical guitar, various hand drums, several guitars in various states of decay or repair, lots of shakers, spoons, tambourine, melodica, vocalism.
I will sometimes accept donations of beater instruments which I tin repair and make bachelor for sale or permanent loan to more needy students.
I play in southern Ontario Canada with a casual celtoidish group named Kerrykeel, a fiddle/guitar duo named Guiddle M'Jig, a vocaliser-songwriter duo named The Preachers' Sons, and I hire out as a mercenary musician for hire when I'm not instructing music (nearly 25 hours per week) or working a part-time grunt job for the local public school board (give thanks goodness for its benefit plan!). Have also played in stone encompass bands, reception music bands, dance outfits, and a Neil Young tribute band. I sing bass in the local Anglican church choir.
So much music, so little fourth dimension.

Perhaps the biggest is the Folklore Society of Greater Washington'south annual "Getaway" in October, where you tin sometimes see Max, Dick Greenhaus, Pene Azul, MMario, and upwards to 60-70 more.

I've had a whole variety of guitars over the years, but the current stable of instruments consists of:—
A flamenco guitar, fabricated by Arcangel Fernandes of Madrid in 1961. A friend of mine, one of the founders of the Seattle Classic Guitar Society who fabricated regular yearly trips to Espana, brought an Arcangel flamenco back with him in 1960. Once I played his, I had to have one. He put me in bear on with Fernandez and a year-and-a half afterwards, my new guitar arrived from Madrid past air freight. Fantastic instrument! I've used mine for everything: song accessory, classical, and even a bit of flamenco (had some lessons in 1962 from a genuine flamenco guitarist). Butter-soft action, powerful audio, crisp and articulate and warm, wide dynamic range, and peachy for concerts because it goes all the way to the back wall. I learned that "Arcangels" had become the guitar of choice for almost of the well-known flamenco guitarists. Fernandez is all the same making guitars, but he'due south back-ordered for years to come up. This has made the price of used Arcangels in good condition soar. I found out recently that mine is at present worth well-nigh 100 times what I paid for it! I'm scared to accept information technology out of the house. THIS one was made many years after mine, simply information technology looks only like it.
A Guitarra Artesana, made in Japan, imported by concert guitar maker José Oribé, inspected, labeled by him, and approved for auction under his name. It has a full, rich, concert guitar sound, and it'southward a dead-ringer for a José Ramirez. It non only looks like ane, it sounds similar one. In fact, I played a recital for the Seattle Classic Guitar Society some years ago, and the folks there (some of whom own Ramirezes) causeless that mine was besides a concert Ramirez. It looks like THIS.
Two odd-balls, both "Go-GW" travel guitars. I got stuck in a wheelchair about twelve years ago, and it's not existent easy to play a guitar while sitting in a wheelchair. The lower bout of the guitar and the correct wheel of the chair both endeavor to occupy the aforementioned infinite, which tends to throw the guitar out of position and makes it hard to hold. Most a year and a half ago, I bought my first "Become" travel guitar from Sam Radding of San Diego (he taught Bob Taylor how to brand guitars). The "Get" is small and looks like a cross between a guitar and a canoe paddle, but it sounds amazingly like a real guitar. Radding makes both nylon and steel-cord "Go" guitars, and their sound is surprisingly full and rich for such small instruments (33.25" long, 8" wide, and 3.25" deep). I liked the classic so much that I bought one of the steel-strings. Used with the neck-strap, I can play them while in the wheelchair without their coming into conflict with the wheel. Very handy. I keep i or the other of them inside arm's reach all the time.
Sam Radding also makes ii small-scale parlor guitars (nylon and steel string, differing slightly from each other in size and pattern), simply these have to be special ordered. I've heard great things about the nylon-string one, and since information technology may exist modest enough to piece of work for me, (12" broad at the lower bout) I'm thinking seriously about ordering one.
I used to play a bit of 5-string banjo and at one time I had a long-necked Vega Seeger Model. I didn't actually play information technology that much, though, and I eventually sold it to a guy who coveted it, and who could actually play.
I also take a laud, a Spanish instrument that sounds like a mandolin on steroids (click & scroll downward), but I haven't figured information technology out yet.

"Steamin' Willie" every bit he calls himself is a mate of mine and when I saw his Rainsong in action, had to have ane. To be fair, I rarely if at all play any of the others now. My son has the Martin at present and I'm not missing it.
