Same boat. MrNovember and I can be in the "spillover" "found" tier for singing bowls.

If you're gonna be affecting it with lots of effects, the quality probably doesn't matter as much anyway.

Thanks for the rec but i am not buying any gear for the next 5 years. Well, not without selling stuff...

I would like to talk about this. Can we talk about 'Gear Retirement' or 'Gear Inflection Points'? A talk to a couple ILF Friends offline so I apologize to them for being a broken record.

[Ugly Nora]

There is nothing for me to discuss really. I'm just looking to beef up my stock portlio, so I am reducing my entertainment expenditures...gear, going out to eat etc. I'm sure I'll still buy some stuff, but nothing major. I have a hard time resisting bells, so I'm sure I'll buy some bells

Seems excessive.

Chank, that looks like a Jon Olson instrument.

Nora, I understand. Do you 'find' most of your bells in the wild (as opposed to ordering off line)? I realized this week I don't actually want singing bowls, rater Kenong/Kethuk.

[Ugly Nora]

Most I have gotten on eBay, but i also get a lot from this great flea market by my house. Lots of great junk there, and lots of folks always have random bells. I regret passing up a really cool bass drum used by the salvation army. Had the logo on both heads. I didn't feel like carrying it. Maybe ill go Sunday.

Anyone have a vibraphone? I really want one of those thangs. About as smooth as you can get.
Theres 2 on my craigslist area but the people won't respond to my emails
They are really expensive too for non-crap ones.

We had one in high school music class. It was awesome! My friends and I were really into Zappa at the time so it made its way into every song we made up.

I like weird band instruments.

That's a nice lookin' vibraphone. I don't have one, but I want one.

I like other vibraphonists, but Walt Dickerson is probably the best.

Vibraphones are like blowjobs; everyone wants one, but the good ones are cost-prohibitive.

Someone needs a frog rasper:

My high school guidance counselor/cross country coach (who also had the same last name as me) had one of these. He was a good guy.

Sig'd.

Yes, frog raspers are for the good guys.
