For Muscians and the Musically Inclined - Dream Instruments

[Hosker]

Just a grand piano, really.

 

[dark-mortality]

To be honest, a nice flute.

 

[Alex Cowan]

Oh God don't make me choose...

I would say a 1930s Selmer MK VI, reckoned to be the best saxophone ever made, but I recently got a new sax, which I'm pretty happy with (and doesn't come with the same maintenance costs owning an original would...)

A '59 Les Paul would be incredibly tempting, but quite a cliché choice for dream instrument.

I'll have to go with

Aww yeah...

Spoiler: Drummer for Frank Zappa's set

Look at it! There's so many that I wouldn't know what to do with my self! I'd just hit whatever and it'd sound awful, but I'd love it.

 

[Zenron]

Steinway Model C. It would be so awesome to have this. I would have absolutely nowhere to put it... but I'd still like it.

 

[Cobelo]

The Buffet BC1193 bass clarinet. So awesome... now if only i wasn't broke. /cry

 

[Chelsizzle]

Just a grand piano. It's always been my dream to own one.

Maybe a nicer bass trombone.

 

[CrashBang]

As soon as I have disposable income, I'm soundproofing a room in my house and getting this bad boy:

 

[Krinku]

A decent guitar, bass, and a drum set. Oh a few decent mics as well.

 

[Sunrider]

What I wouldn't do for these... What's that? You want my firstborn? Take him!

 

[KingCrInuYasha]

Mellotron.

Always loved the sounds that came out of them.

 

[The Apothecarry]

Paul Reed Smith Custom 24. One of three guitars that Pete Loeffler of Chevelle uses.

It's a beauty, eh?

 

[Superior Mind]

Well I'm pretty happy with my Maton EM325c acoustic guitar, it was the guitar I saved for and wanted and it is still my preferable instrument but I would definitely like a Greenfield G3 guitar. They're megabucks though and the luthier only seems to make them for certain musicians.

Electric wise... I haven't played electric for ages but if I went back to it I would like a Fender Jaguar HH - they just look awesome.

 

[The Virgo]

Mellotron.

Always loved the sounds that came out of them.

Me too! Particularly the choir sounds. You hear a lot of Mellotron sounds in Prog-Rock era Genesis music.

At least a company called Manikin have made a more modern, digital version of it called the Memotron, so you don't have to worry about the sound-tapes getting scratched. It costs about $2,700. Not cheap, but a lot cheaper than an actual 1970's Mellotron and a lot easier to use and take care of.

Aww yeah...

Hell yeah!

 

[Bezza27]

A decent guitar, bass, and a drum set. Oh a few decent mics as well.

So basically a rock band minus the musicians?

 

[The Virgo]

There is only two words for this picture: "I WANT!!!!"

*drools*

 

[LittleJP]

Custom Piano, 108 keys, 18 feet long.
