This is pretty cool! I'll post pictures of my Mark VI bari sax and Selmer Serie III alto when i get back from camping this weekend!
Finally took the pics.
Piano:
45 year old (ish) reconditioned Steck, pretty generic looking, and it sounds kinda generic as well, but it's got nice bite to it.
Now out to my playroom (studio):
Accordion:
It's not a full-sized proper accordion, just a little mini one. It's only ever in the key of A or the relative minor C.
Some random acoustic:
Peavey Milestone III bass:
It's actually a pretty damn fine bass, which I wasn't expecting for the price. Very nicely made and sounds wonderful. Not the easiest bass to play at the price though.
You can also see my Moogerfooger and old-skool Yamaha desk there. It's great for getting really warm, beefy sounds and distortion. I use the Moogerfooger as a pre-amp (does this really well), and boy can it make some far out sounds!
Cornet (in need of some tlc
):
Teak Didgeridoo:
Djembe:
Semi Old-skool Technics keyboard:
Great for really naff synth sounds and Basement Jaxx style beats if you beef it up a bit.
Random percussion (and some recorders):
Some random mini acoustic:
An old Maya electric (only one set of humbuckers are working):
If anybody could tell me anything about this guitar, other than how crap it is, I'd be grateful.
An old organ synth, great for cheesy organ sounds:
My favourite MIDI controller:
My mini controller:
I usually use this just to trigger samples or if I really can't bring a full sized controller with me.
Peavey MicroBass + Bongos:
What I record stuff with:
I have loads of other Mics too, but this is by far the best. Great for recording anything from vocals, to a piano or drums. Obviously it's mono, so I've used two in the past to record a choir. Worked very well.
My MoogerFooger Envelope Controlled Filter/sound-**cker-upper:
Love this to bits.
Drums:
Ludwig kit + Meinl cymbals
Other stuff I could show (because I didn't want to post too-longa thread) included the evolution control surface (works wonders with Reason), the monitors and cabs and the other weird stuff I use (like a PC).

I second that. Gorgeous kit. That Broken Glass finish has been a favorite of mine for awhile now...the closest I could get with my Pacific was the Silver Sparkle...which is timeless itself.
Maybe if I let it get a little moldy and yellow it'll look better

That looks like an SSL console in the first image. The biggest desk I've worked with was also an SSL, 88 channels (I think)! Motorised as well

Yup! Here's the consoles from the top left moving clockwise:
1. SSL 4000G
2. Yamaha DM2000 Digital Console
3. SSL 4000G+
4. Neve V Series w/ Flying Faders
the "mini acoustic" is actually a spanish/classical guitar.
And tell your drummer to fix those tom angles.

I know, but I'm 1. ignorant and 2. my own drummer (and that's how I like it).
Yah I won
I hate you
Yeah. I was pretty lucky for awhile there. The current studio I'm working out of doesn't have the need for such a large board, but we're working on a Yamaha 02R96 (basically the DM2000's little brother...other than the DM1000).
But we've got some killer mics and outboard gear which definitely makes up for the lack of a sweet analog board.
Beautiful kit man! I recorded one of those, but with a 26" kick. One of the most fun to play on as well...
I'm prolly gonna get my Yamaha desk serviced (MR1242). A lot of the gain controls are very dodgy (nothing until about 75% and then BOOMF it's all there), two of the potentiometers don't work and only two of them actually light up. It generally needs a bit of work, but I'm sure it'll be worth it. It's very flexible when it comes to BUS routing etc...

Put in another vote for brass!
I have a Yamaha YEP-201 Euphonium (or baritone) with a Schilke 51D mouthpeice. I used a Besson in high school that looked like it had been hit by a truck, but sounded wonderful.
Yamaha's YBH-301S Baritone Horn is a lot of fun to play as well.
