err... Neutral

Oh no, I can't help it!!!!

How come a silver-plated brass saxaphone is a woodwind instrument?

I've played Metal on wooden guitars!?!?

I just double-checked what my Lap-Dawg's made of & it ain't steel... Oh Well

Seems I'm a ganner g'woop North & join me a Brass Band on account of what my diddly-bow is made of, if they'll accept a Southern chrome/nickel/steel/bronze/lap/slide/wood/British/Hawaiian brass-guitar player that is! Winking

Hang on, that Brass Band has a fibreglass drum in it!?!?!
Whoa!

Shortly before I got my first pedal steel (a ShoBud Maverick) in the late 70's I mentioned to my girlfriend that I'd really like to learn to play steel guitar.
She went out and got me a beautiful round-neck metal bodied dobro. Sigh.

I like that term "Diddly Bow"(wasn't that the name of the original incarnation/concept? ), of course the obvious confusion would be Bo Diddly. Smile
