Instruments, toys
Lots of toys. This category is ever-changing as things are aquired,
re-wired, broken, fixed, borrowed, returned, etc. We have drum sets from the
70's and 80's, but not real high-end kits (but by using certain recordings
techniques they can have a good "vintage" sound on tape), there are lots of
amps , electric organs, a piano-organ (spinet piano with an off key organ
built right into it), casios, percussion, some effect pedals, a few violins,
cello, alto sax, lap steel, trombone, trumpet, some weird electric guitars
that sound cool, toy piano, toy acoustic guitars, etcetera.
