Things I'm going to be looking for and Adding to my shop are: new mig welder, drill press, belt sander and maybe a forging press, dang so much stuff I need! Any way, thanks.

Frosty Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 In case you haven't noticed threads on Iforge sometimes go off on wild tangents that have no bearing on the OP, topic or . . . heck anything commonly found in nature.

Hey who are you accusing of having standards? Yes actually, this is a delightfully Brownian trajectory sort of thread. Frosty The Lucky.

AnBello Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 I actually can't play the Cello (yet), but it is the instrument I find the most enjoyable to listen to. I really like Apocalyptica, I have been listening to them for many years. Another instrument I really like (with a completely different sound) is the japanese Shamisen, although I can't recommend a good example of it. I have been very interested in learning to play that instrument for many years, but to be honest, there are way too many things that I'm interested in doing. They will eventually have their turn, in time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really like Apocalyptica, I have been listening to them for many years. One of my personal triumphs in my professional life was arranging a gift (to our Conservatory of Music) of the cello (a 1725-ish Tononi) that may have been the instrument on which Anatoly Brandukov played the world premieres of the Tchaikovsky Cello Concerto and the Rachmaninoff Cello Sonata. We know that he owned it, but we can't prove he used it for those performances. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
