Today, with images № 7 and № 8, let me show you another two of my more “ordinary” instruments, if you will.

On the left, that’s a Harley Benton HB-35 Vintage semi-hollow electric guitar which resembles the classic Gibson ES-335 in both looks and sound.

On the right, again from manufacturer Harley Benton, that’s a six-string western guitar, equipped with an internal pickup.

Instruments from Harley Benton are incredibly cheap; the acoustic sells for around $70 now, the electric around $180, and yet the sound is surprisingly good. I’m not sure if I would choose more expensive ones even if I had the money. (Except for other reasons, like if child labour was involved or the company would do an other damage. I have no knowledge of any of that.)

Photos № 4 & 5: Those are my two “workhorses”, they are by far the busiest of my collection.

On the left, that’s my classical guitar of the “Ariana” series. Lately I put low-tension steel strings on it which deliver an interesting sound somewhere between Western and Spanish guitar.

On the right, that’s my electric five-string “Squier” Precision bass. Before I got myself an acoustic five-string fretless bass guitar, this was my only source for the lower notes.

It’s a rather lazy Sunday, so here comes a second photo already:

This is a bulbul tarang, a traditional instrument from Punjab¹. The seven strings are tuned in unison, sometimes in fifths, and to change the pitch there are typewriter keys mounted.

You can hear its sound in the opening bars of my song “What Isn’t There” (babumenos.bandcamp.com/track/w) on the right side of the mix (to the left, there’s a Thai sueng, ซึง, photo coming soon).
