I collect musical instruments, mainly keyboard based instruments. My wife and I are both classically trained pianists and organists. I've done keyboard instrument repair for well over a decade which has definitely led to the collection growing. We have an interesting collection of classical instruments (some historic) and then a synthesizer/rock room. I think every room in the house has at least one musical instrument.

Here are 2 of the instruments that get the most attention when we have people over. A 10 rank organ made by Rushworth and Dreaper in Liverpool, England in 1914.

A double manual French harpsichord made by Hubbard sometime in the 1970s.

I also collect laserdiscs. I grew up with the format and watching the complete Looney Tunes, Tom and Jerry, and Tex Avery cartoons on laserdisc. I started my own collection several years ago and I've got at least 1,500 titles. The most recent photo of my collection is from 2 years ago. I've probably added about 100 titles since I took this photo.

Whoo Hoo! It's always great to meet another laserdisc collector!

Then there's the LP collection. I think I've got around 5-600 LPs. I don't actively collect those anymore though like I used to.

Haha. Thanks! I had been collecting DTS discs until they shot up to crazy prices. The sound is phenomenal. JP DTS is a really good pressing with really great picture quality. SE7EN is one of my favorites. It's got a fantastic Criterion Collection release on laserdisc.

Wow, that's incredible! My wife and I have joked about installing a larger instrument and running pipes through the floors. The harpsichord is a lot of fun. I have some friends who are part of the local baroque recorder society and we'll occasionally perform recorder and harpsichord duets.

My aunt used to collect prints of his artwork. I always thought they were so cool. That is very cool that you have an original!

Haha. I've also tapped pzm mics to the wall for recordings. They certainly get the job done. They also work well tapped to the inside of a grand piano lid. I haven't used them in a couple years, but I know I've still got them somewhere.
