fair enough....
but I build alot of my stuff or buy cheap old stuff and fix it. I dont spend too much $$.
I also have over 250 instruments so I had to go scrounge mode to amass such a collection.
I got brass, strings, woods, a ton of drums....misc analog >twang< devices, many drum contact mics for recording all of the acoustic instruments (heh) a few other mics a DAT 4 track and some reel to reel machines and tape splicing equipment.
its basically a big pile of junk!
