I'll start. My big weekend project for the last few weeks has been finally getting rid of a bunch of clutter and replacing the furniture I've been simply putting up with, with furniture that actually fits my space and its purpose. I did my bedroom first, then the dining room, and finally finished the studio on Saturday.



I finally have things organized well enough that you wouldn't know I have a couple dozen instruments around (although I invite you to play "Where's Waldo" and count the number that actually are visible in the image - I count 2224 (EDIT: noticed two that I overlooked before) although some of them are only visible in the sense that they contribute pixels but aren't necessarily discernible or recognizable as what they are).

Anyway now I really have no excuse to not work on music.

Wow, that looks really nice. Great work!

Looks great! I like how the fish eye lens (or whatever it's called) gives it that cool amphitheater look. That is the widest F-hole body guitar I've ever seen.

I'd rather play "where's Werner".

It's a panoramic photo stitched together from a bunch of regular photos. The guitar is stretched out because it's so far below the horizon, similar to why Canada and Alaska look so big on the map.

Yeah, Canada and Alaska are F-holes too.

I probably did better than most, because I recognized Fred as an instrument. It's hard to see inside the drawers, etc., but I did find a pink kazoo (#14)... I never remember which cat is which.

Hints for the last six?

The kids are at camp, so this is the studio for July.

I found it!

Guess I missed the part about Waldo. But then one could say that laptop has millions...

More importantly, how does one size images in BBCode that is acceptable here?

With Photoshop. Or http://www.picresize.com/ or http://www.resizeyourimage.com/ or some such.

I have another synth module, and some instruments are in cases in the closet and only a few pixels of said cases are visible. And there's musical toys in some of the clear drawers. There's also a wind instrument near the guitar that fascinates BLT, and a couple of other little noise generators and MIDI controllers (which count just as much as the drum kit).

What you identified as #15 isn't an instrument, though, it's a clip-on guitar tuner. And, sorry, but 14 isn't a kazoo but a broken iPod.

Good work on the cats though. As a hint, Werner is male and Fiona is a female, and certain kinds of cats can only be one of the two.

Yeah, I wasn't sure about #15.

Okay so here's a listing of what you can find in the image, if you know where to look:

9 guitars
1 cello
2 violins (in cases in the closet)
1 mandolin (in a case in the closet)
electric drum kit
wavedrum
glockenspiel
Kaossilator (on the shelf next to the 3D printer)
medium-size keyboard controller (in the closet)
tiny keyboard controller (below the Kaossilator)
Fred (SIDstation)
Yamaha TX-7
2 ukuleles (ukuleli?)
digital piano
recorder (buried in a pile of crap on the bookshelves to the right)

That's 25. Then there's also a few musical toys, miscellaneous shakers, etc.
