Musical Instruments Megathread

This is the Sax my younger son has

Has a nice warmth to it, like all expensive ass saxophones.

It does indeed.  Much better than the cheap second hand one he played for years before earning his way to this one.

I've always wanted to trade up from my brassy Conn noobsax, but it's always been cheaper to just get it repadded.

So after a day of playing with the Alesis, I gotta say that having a USB-powered keyboard is definitely an improvement over snaking AC adapters.  If they can do this for an 88-key weighted keyboard, why can't they do it for smaller ones with internal sound banks?  (I know, I know, the real reason is internal speakers)

Just as an aside, my 11 year old niece got one of those home recording studio kits from Santa this year, complete with microphone and mixing software;  she's already been laying down her tracks.  I think I'll score her some eggcrate foam for her walls come her birthday.
