instrument tour / review [the string ones & Saxophone]

hi Welcome to Joey's String & Saxophone Guys . these are not all my instruments since i own 2 keyboards [only have One with me] but i'll do a Keyboard post later . also i do not play so much keyboard [write online] so . cannot review so well as these . Okay

[if want more information / review / sound / image / etc example on any instrument do let know & I will make another post with the stuff you want . love instruments so not a bother At all !]

THE OUD :

this is The Oud. i got it for $100 locally at a pawn shop Out of pure luck. i Do not know how much an oud like this is worth considering the maker card inside is in [what i Presume to be, since the oud i REALLY VERY THINK is arabic style] arabic & i Cannot read it nor get a picture to translate through the strings . google says similar ouds are Around $1300 . HOWEVER if you want to get / learn an oud & you are Far Away from a place they are made or common beginner ones online go for about $400-600. etsy has cheaper options also which I cannot attest for , but etsy are Less regulated on instruments in general so it may not be. the same . Again do not know

the oud Sounds very very good . am very biased because the Oud produces my favourite sounds out of any instrument but you know. using nylon strings on it currently Though it was bought with steel [rusted, unusable] & has capability to be strung with steel. Still sounds very good with nylon, can make ringing notes & very smooth sound. Cannot electric, though they do make electric ouds .

is very hard to hold & play when You have played typical american instruments all your life , but is not too bad to get Used to. fretless [for microtonal purposes] which Can be hard to learn but overall very enjoyable to play.

would recommend this oud very highly !

UKULELES & CBG :

too many for individual pictures.

in order of top-bottom, going Across :

ortega bass ukulele, silvertone concert ukulele, cbg, crossroads tenor ukulele, amahi concert ukulele, fender soprano ukulele.

BASS UKE :

My bass ukulele ! ! ortega Ukebass Purchased for $300 [locally], but is cracked [previous owner dropped it & sold it to store, minor damage & no fixing done] . supposed to be ~$500, but Cannot buy online from what i can tell . however assuming Not Glossed versions would be cheaper, ortega doesn't put prices on their website so cannot tell. Comes with electric capabilities & built in tuner . kala ubass [which is Effectively only other widely produced uke bass , at least where i am] about same price with similar sounds, but takes more expensive strings if need replace.

sounds good ! is electric as in Can be connected to amp but still has acoustic soundhole too . bass uke played like bass so sound similar to acoustic bass but Much higher octave . deep warm tone, similar to ubass which more videos of online if looking for reference.

easy easy to hold/play if have played [especially Tenor & Baritone] ukulele, mine is same size as baritone [but is shortscale , make longer version] so is not a big difference. not bad to play. much easier than regular bass lol.

would recommend this Uke [WITH RESEARCH ON VS UBASS] highly.

CONCERT UKE :

concert ukulele is one have played the Most of all instruments owned !! silvertone concert purchased for $75 [for music store Going out of business] locally . online is Slightly more expensive, ~$85 & up.

would consider this cheap for the Sound or produces , good sound. very bright, very loud [no electric option] . chords sound good good & accurate if tuned, even if little slightly off . very "Typical ukulele" sound, good for performing [have played many times with & without mic by ukulele, does best in Big space with mic but in coffee shop sized setting does not need.] Is overall very good.

most easy ukulele to play if 'average' hand size. most extremely easy to learn, or learn on in My opinion . generally most comfortable size if want Ukulele Ukulele sound . very fun, again great for performing.

would recommend this uke VERY HIGHLY.

CIGAR BOX GUITAR :

my Little Baby. small Sized cbg. bought for $75 locally at art festival ! did Not plan to buy, saw it got SO excited played little & fell in love. person was with at time ALSO not plan to buy anything played Another one & fell in love. VERY GOOD ! anyhow . cbgs can go from anywhere from ~$100-300+ online depending on seller, quality of material, if included resonator/electric, etc. general pricing about $150-250. can ALSO be handmade with Whatever you got so . whatever you feel works best.

as said Did not plan to buy but played & fell in love. such such pretty sound Steel string & bright notes . tuned GDg so little higher sound than Big guitar . every cbg sounds a little different but One i have very very pretty bright / loud . also had electric capabilities , makes very unique sound on amp which is different than regular guitar in way cannot explain. Currently not have amp [will bring it next week if want amp video] but . lovely lovely sound absolutely obsessed with this .

easy to play, medium to learn if not used to uncommon tuning. since is tuned like that chords can be mirrored for variants so makes better for hand placement if needed. personally Hard for me to 'get down' chords on there but also Brain Disability so expected . other person was with who bought one picked up very quickly , like within a few days . Hurts to play if not used to thin little steel strings but not for too long.

would recommend similar [nobody else can have/buy This specific one] cbg VERY HIGHLY.

TENOR UKE :

my tenor ukulele is named Cindy & this is very important fact about her . Anyhow . crossroads tenor was bought for $100 locally same place as oud, goes for around the same price online . have most basic of crossroads' tenor selection, with More options or Gloss are higher.

good sound .! much like concert , most similar to concert but little smoother. HOWEVER. buzzing on strings is problem . would Not play for performing until is fixed, but is very pretty for small gathering. can be loud bright but is also capable of lower warm tones . very pleasing .

easy to play like Concert , would not recommend to learn on since isn't very popular size & therefore not as easy translated to what Very High Quality / Not Beginner ukuleles made for when have learned . however Do What You Want, Forever because is still not bad .

would recommend this uke.

BARITONE UKE :

oguguggu Such a good instrument. got amahi baritone for $280 locally. Little more expensive written online, $330. can only be purchased local. Are cheaper baritones in the world, but this one Very Very worth price . has Built in tuner / eclectrics etc.

OHHH best sound on ukulele i have heard . like guitar but softer & like ukulele but louder & deeper & smoother . can retain brightness but sounds overall less so, more resonating . SO good SO SO good very calm & deep but still ukulele . had been mistaken for guitar BUT other baritones i've heard Can always tell are ukulele, so do not know which is more common to think / hear . such a beautiful sound so very good .

same finger positions as guitar , transposed for GCEA normal uke tuning so either Already Known or Just Leaning Which Position Means Which. is not bad at all & have gotten most down within a month, but a person without Bad Cognition probably have easier time . really very good . Very very good.

would recommend this uke VERY HIGHLY !

SOPRANO UKULELE :

fender ukulele. oh fender ukulele. bought fender sopranofor around $80-90 locally, don't remember exact since was 12 at the time. about the same price online. for god's sake Never pay full price for a fender soprano. especially one with No modifications/fixes.

when MODIFIED sounds great! bright so bright so high so very ukulele. is a very stereotypical ukulele sound, not as smooth as concert or bigger . BUT WITHOUT MODIFYING, WITHOUT FIXING ALL TUNING PEGS, CHANGING STINGS. buzz buzz buzz. buzz. rattle. rattle buzz. & that's about it. can get sound but is OVERWHELMING buzz & rattle. tuning pegs are loose ALWAYS. brought to shop to repair & got told All fenders sound like this . lol. yeah their ukuleles suck.

easy to learn. very easy to learn got it All Down within a few months. great size for small hands or Children. Is not as easy to play now that older with bigger hands but isn't Huge problem really not that bad.

would NOT recommend this ukulele DO NOT BUY FENDER UKULELE.

ACOUSTIC GUITAR :

the Most unfortunate brand name of instrument i own. SORRY! not associated with the guy. Not typing here so no faulty search results, name in image & id. was purchased again locally at the pawn shop for $50. was in Terrible Awful shape then, crusty dusty gross & worst strings ever. goes for like $100-150 online but is Not made anymore so it's all resell, varied wildly.

despite its Horrible past & Horrible name, it plays BEAUTIFULLY ! genuinely one of my favourite guitar sounds i've heard . low, mellow , not really so bright as typical acoustic . very melancholy guitar in my opinion. chill. love it .

it's like any other guitar, so is not bad to learn on. If you already know guitar you can play. really not a problem at all . i did not have trouble switching from my Good Quality Electric to playing this . :}

i would recommend this guitar highly.

ELECTRIC GUITAR :

first guitar i got . birthday gift ! fender stratocaster. as such, do Not know exact price, they go online for about $700 though . Does not have Whammy or other Etc stuff but is Not low quality . have seen strats in person ranging from like. $200-1000+ depending on quality / has it been used before etc. do Not think you need a whole fresh guitar to start but love anyway .

sounds good , sounds like Every Stratocaster. can make very diverse sounds of own accord [knobs] when plugged in amp, but is still loud if just strumming without . very Typical Radio electric guitar sound . enjoyable !

guitar very hard for Me to learn not out of chords but Hands . hands smaller when got so learning later than expected. would Not recommend electric for first guitar . is still Typical Guitar Experience as all fender are .

would recommend this guitar.

BASS :

MY only online instrument purchase ! the ibanez bass. bought for $200 online, have not seen exact model locally so do not know in store price. do know Is very cheap for bass. $200 about as low as it gets for Fresh bass, have seen used ones cheaper.

love the sound ! plays just like any bass , currently does not sound As good since need to replace strings but don't wanna spend Money on bass strings so Waiting until have to record but . when Fresh sounds awesome . ibanez is Good Good brand . low resonating notes. in Very small small gatherings still sounds good without amp, still can write on it without amp.

hard to learn if you fingers Small / weak / you mostly play Ukulele . still am able to do Lot of simplish basslines & getting better everyday. once play for a while build up strength etc. really really not bad.

would recommend this bass highly !

THE SAXOPHONE :

i am So So sorry i know so little about saxophone. intended to go into band freshman year Tried it Liked it But couldn't get it down OR read music enough to join band so largely don't play. Never knew brand since Mother purchased . Also do not know price but do know was over $1000, purchased locally. is beginner/student saxophone, so is not Top Quality but still good. still good.

sounds So nice when played right. lord knows i do not often achieve this. not the Highest Quality sound, not the smoothest deepest most Saxophone sound but . not Really noticable with other instruments. would not be clocked as 'bad' at least by Most people . you can tell it's a saxophone or at least a saxophone like instrument. enjoyable !

saxophone surprisingly easy to learn. very on track with that one for Me , not for student band, but for Me & could Easy learn short simple songs in like. hour & then see & play them again next day . really very easy, takes a lot of practice, energy to hold , but is Not bad ! if wanting learn a horn or Hornlike instrument [saxophone IS woodwind needs reed but sounds Like horn] would recommend. love saxophone & makes many sounds compared to other similar instruments.

this is all instruments :} PLEASE feel free to ask for more about any of them [technical or images or sound or just How Joey Sees Them. their names etc.] because i love them so So much . instruments[/music/writing music] special interest :} so very happy to talk about them always . hope You have enjoyed ! !

[margareturtle]

I love that Kit gets to live with Jem, Tessa, and Mina, don’t get me wrong,,

But it really funny to imagine if he had just moved into the New York Institute with Jace and Clary

Bc Kit is a great mix of Jace’s charm and sarcasm along with Simon’s humor, pop culture references, and nerdiness.

They would be a hilarious trio

Simon would get Kit to make fun of Jace with him

Jace would cry go Clary

Jace getting a taste of what his angsty pining was like from witnessing Kit pining for Ty (was I really that bad?? Alec: yup!)

Kit would babysit Max and Rafe,,

Kit, Magnus, and Simon would talk music together (Kit and Magnus go to 1989 tour together)

Magic lessons with Magnus

Being already established at the NY Institute when “Clary’s Nephew arrives”

"Carbon footprint" was invented by BP in the early 00s to blame you, personally, for climate change while they dumped millions of gallons of oil into the Gulf of Mexico, and yet we're still better at reducing ours than they are theirs

I went to the Chain of Thorns tour tonight!

As promised, I saw Cassie today and wrote down her answers (paraphrased) to the questions asked to share here with you all -- and I asked her a question of my own, too!

It was a spoiler-free event, so those of you who have not finished or read any part of Chain of Thorns can read on safely :D

Question: Was it intentional that a Lightwood dies in every series? [referring to Max (TMI), Benedict (TID), Robert (TDA), Barbara (TLH)] Answer: No, it was not intentional and not planned to be that way. But there are so many Lightwoods. In retrospect, it sure looks like it, doesn't it?

Question: What was your process of creating Grace Blackthorn? Answer: Grace is a parallel of Estella from Great Expectations, as The Last Hours is a retelling of that story. I wanted a character to be an embodiment of "explanation not an excuse." I also wanted to give Estella the chance to tell things from her perspective, which is never revealed in Great Expectations. So Grace is that character who is able to display the other side of that situation through her point of view.

Question: How did you come up with the parabatai curse? Answer: It's a greek work and when I learned the meaning, I was immediately interested in exploring the power of non-romantic love. That's where the concept of parabatai came from. The curse then stemmed from expanding on what it means to be parabatai and who could and could not have one. That is where the curse came to be, and of course, how it became a focal point of TDA.

Question: How can I find a man like James Herondale? Answer: I asked myself the same question when I was younger: "Why aren't men like men in books?" I met my husband at a book club and we began sending books to one another that we liked. So my advice is to find a boy, girl, person who enjoys books, too.

Question: Who is your favorite parabatai pair? Answer: Will and Jem.

Question: Who in The Last Hours was the easiest to write? The hardest? Answer: The hardest characters to write were Grace and Matthew, as they both faced very complex problems that don't have an easy or single solution. The easiest characters to write were Cordelia and Lucie. Lucie, because she is also a writer and I very much had a passion for it the way I did when I was younger, too. Cordelia was easy to write because she was fun to write. (Bonus: The most fun to write is Magnus.)

Question: Who is your favorite character from each series? Answer: Didn't want to answer at first, but admitted the following: TID is Tessa. TLH is Lucie. TMI is Simon. No answer for TDA.

Question: Who in TLH was your favorite point of view to write from? Answer: Alastair, Thomas, and Lucie.

Question: Will we ever see Jace and Clary again in a prominent role? Answer: They will be in The Wicked Powers, but the story focuses on Ty, Dru, and Kit, so prominency will remain with them.

Question: How did you develop Ty [Blackthorn] and who was your inspiration for him? Answer: My stepbrother, who always said he looked for characters who exhibited similar characteristics as him, but it was never the same as having a character who was also autistic, and used the word, too.

Question: What made you decide to make Coredlia Iranian? Answer: I was born in Iran and Farsi was my first language. I can't speak it fluently now, but I wanted to make a character that incorporated that part of my life. To make her character and her family's characters, I had a group chat with my mother's friends, who were a bunch of 80-year-old Iranian women. They were very happy to help. Sometimes they argued amongst themselves about a question I had and who had the correct answer, and I would just sit back and watch it unfold while a little scared.

Question: Is there a plot line or detail you look back on and regret doing? Answer: THE FAMILY TREE. [She went on to explain that when she first made it, she had no intention to write any other historical book. But she got the idea for TLH while writing TDA, and suddenly the path and story she wanted to tell did not align with the already-published family tree. So basically, my theory was right and we have confirmation from CC herself that it's just a result of premature development!]

That was the last question of the night, but I saved the question I asked her myself for last! I asked her if Cecily and Gideon had official birthdays, and if so, if we would ever learn them, since we know the rest of the TID cast's birthdays from the 10th anniversary birthstone cards.

Her answer: I never told you guys their birthdays?! I have what I call the Bible and it contains everything about all the characters like their birthdays, star signs, etc. So yes, they do have birthdays. I don't remember them off the top of my head, but I'm sure it'd be no problem getting it out to you guys. There's no reason for not.

So, yes, they do have birthdays, and if she remembers that I asked, we might find them out very soon!

I had a great night and there were some hilarious answers to questions that weren't TSC-specific, but I simply just cannot write that fast.

i have been meaning to post this all day but kept getting distracted by work (and am thus using tumblr as a distraction from school work)

the summoning came on earlier this morning and i had a sudden epiphany

vessel tracks all the instruments besides drums right? so now i’m incredibly curious- what is his studio set up? what instruments does he use? does vessel play an 8-string guitar because that’s what iv plays on stage? how many guitars does he have? i want to know what pedals/effects are used, tunings, everything! is he a fender guy? gibson? takamine? epiphone? gretsch?

and he must have a bass or two! what are those like? what brands?

i genuinely don’t really know anything about instruments beyond how to play them a little bit, but i am a massive nerd about knowing what is used in studio vs on stage.

Kit and Ash’s first meeting is gonna be like

Kit and Ash already in the middle of a fight:

Kit: jeez what did I ever do to you?

Ash: i have to kill you, Janus says you want to steal my throne

Kit: what? You mean evil Jace thinks I want to be the next Seelie Queen ?!

Ash: yes so I have to kill you

Kit: woah woah woah sorry no offense Prince—what’s your name again?

Ash: Ash

Kit: look no offense Ash but the only thing of yours I would want are your wings, they’re sick and I haven’t figured out how to make my own yet

Ash: How can I believe you? You are the first heir. You could have all of faerie.

Kit: yeah yeah so what, my great smth grandmother was from there, I have no investment with the place— you can have at it

Ash: You must be lying. I have to kill you.

(Kit and Ash continue fighting; Kit changes tactics)

Kit: ok ok fine you can kill me

Ash: what?

Kit: you can kill me and have faerie all to yourself, but can I at least facetime my best friend one last time to say goodbye

Ash: …I suppose

Kit: *takes out his phone and calls Dru with Ash watching him*

Dru picks up: Kit what’s up, I had to pause my movie

*Ash stunned*

Kit: well sorry to interrupt🙄,, I’m just calling to say goodbye

Dru: don’t be dramatic, give Ty time, I swear he’s in love with you

Kit: he’s not, he hates me 😩

Dru: by the angel

Kit: ok but that’s actually not why I called

Dru: really 🤨

Kit: yeah I actually am about to get killed

Dru: shit. do they know that only me, Ty, or Thais in my absence are allowed to kill you

Kit: I’ll tell them

Dru: good, fire message me if you acc need help. I’m in the middle of what we do in the shadows tho, so hopefully it’s important

Kit:🙄 k see you tmrw if I’m still alive

Dru: byeeee

*pause*

Kit to Ash: ok so technically only Dru, Ty, or Thais can kill me, but I suppose you can now if you need

Ash: who is she?

Kit: my best friend? Dru

Ash: yes I’ve seen her before, she is beautiful I must meet her

Kit: ha, well I could give you her number

Ash: her number?

Kit: yeah ya know to text her? Oh right you’re from faerie I’d have to show you

Ash: you can show me how to text Dru and then I kill you?

Kit: I mean sure, you could, but then Dru would prob block you if you killed me so it would all be for nothing

Ash: block me? But how would she know?

Kit: Block like cute contact. And she’d figure it out fast she’s smart and she’d know something was wrong as soon as I break our 206 day snapstreak.

Ash: snapstreak— is that your special bond?

Kit: sure, but look, if you don’t kill me perhaps you too could have a snapstreak with Dru one day!

Ash: really ?!

Kit: yup! so what do you say? Still gonna kill me or are you gonna hold off on doing what evil Jace says

Ash: Janus is away for a while, so I suppose I can wait. I want a snapstreak with Dru

Kit: brilliant! You can start by being in my snap to Dru, we’ll see if she recognizes you…

Top Wishlist Songs for the Upcoming Will Wood Concert:

Cicada Days: The high-volume "whisper" + "red flags fade to white" are made to be heard live I think. Although my favorite part is "okay I'll pack my stuff."

Euthanasia: I will cry

I/Me/Myself: is he gonna shriek a variation of the lyrics? I wanna know

White Noise: I want to shout, "yes it cures cancer"

Love, Me Normally: just a banger and would probably be a good show ender

Against the Kitchen Floor: the way it builds towards the end would be awesome live

Memento Mori: Clapping and cheering :)

The "must I need a reason? I just wanna hear them" list:

Becoming the Lastnames Laplace's Angel Marsha, Thankk You... Well, Better than the Alternative When Somebody Needs You Sex, Drugs, Rock 'n' Roll Half-Decade Hangover
