I've been buying instruments from charity and second hand shops for some time now. So far I've added an autoharp [which isn't 'in tune' but I reckon sounds good anyway] a flamenco guitar, lots of different percussion, a keyboard an erhu [a Chinese sort of violin] and some bagpipes. I'm planning to record some music using only instruments I've bought from charity shops. I've got some fancy instruments too, however, I feel I don't have to always use those instruments to make the sort of music I like [and hope other people do too!]
This way, I can feel good about supporting charities and up cycling!
Some of you will know how much I like to use found sounds in my music - I'll definitely be sampling the sound of tapping my charity bought, hand blown, Spanish vase, I've already sampled the sound of screwing up an empty crisp packet and managed to keep it out of the ocean a bit longer!
