a pitiful Vito II clarinet
some yamaha piano
a little keyboard that can make rap sounds :o)
a bigger keyboard from the 80's that allows you to have arpeggios, chords, cute little disco noises, 16 beat, latin swing, rock, waltz, and other fun stuff... oh, and it canrecord too, once i find the directions
a sad, sad Peavey bass Amp
Ibanez TR bass [quite sad]
Ibanez acoustic guitar [sunburst]
