Looks like my djembe will be delivered today. Super stoked! I wasn't expecting to get the thing until Monday at least. #Yay #NewGearDay

Oooooo! My #Pearl #TopTuned #Djembe is being processed at the #UPS facility and will apparently be delivered today, not on Monday as I had originally thought. *Does another happy dance* #NewGearDay #Happy #Drums #Percussion

Was gifted some new #guitar gear! An #MXR 305 Tremolo pedal, a #Saturnworks dual footswitch (for the #Boss RC-5), and the BAS-1 amp stand.

The MXR tremolo is super fun. I haven't quite worked out the envelope filter mode (I don't have a compressor, but I don't hear the speed changing) but will keep at it. The Saturnworks needs a TRS patch cable, which I don't have yet, so haven't been able to try that out yet. The RC-5 is great, but I feel like I need to take a class on it!

#NGD! I bought this new "Kmise" brand tenor guitar from ebay for an absurdly low price.

at 30" long with a 21.25" scale length it's a little closer to an over-sized baritone ukulele, but it is indeed slightly larger than Kmise's bari uke model, and it's got a pin bridge with steel strings vs the usual ukulele nylon.

I'm pretty sure the body is all mahogany laminate.

It's a really well-made little instrument, absurdly well-made for about $70 shipped with a very nice gig bag. I haven't checked with a tuner but the intonation is spot-on and the action is nice and low all the way up the neck.

It sounds like you would expect a small-bodied laminate guitar to sound; not very loud and not a lot of low-end, but that's fine. I'll record something with a good mic once I've gotten to know it a little better.

I tuned it to #plectrumbanjo CGBD and it will be a lot of fun to noodle around with. Since the scale is something like 5" shorter than a typical plectrum, the strings feel very taut; plus they're steel, which my fingers are not used to. I'll have to research lighter strings.
