I play a Suzuki classical guitar that's about 30 years old, I'm not sure what model it is. I also play a Ronisch piano, which is about 80 years old. I get the hand me downs evidently, but it's cool, they sound better in my opinion.

I'm sure some of them have even seen some military duty! Well at least traveled around in the WWII days.

My alto sax is a Selmer AS300 and I use size 3 1/2 or 4 reeds. My tenor sax is a Selmer TS200 and I use a size 2 reed.

I rented an Antigua Winds soprano for a while that played pretty well but was a little stuffy in the high range
My main horn, though, is a Buescher 400 alto from around 1965. I use a Meyer 5 mouthpiece usually with La Voz medium reeds. I play equal parts classical and jazz, and this setup suits me fine for both, except that I'm having trouble finding altissimo fingerings above G# that work with my horn. Someday I'd love to buy a Super Action 80 Series II or III black-lacquered alto or a Mark VI, but I'll probably get a soprano and tenor first.
Got a crappy clarinet from the 70s under my bed, my student model Bundy alto for sentimental reasons, a bamboo flute, an Ibanez something-200 bass, a Tama Rockstar set with Zildjian cymbals, and a yamaha keytar too.

Why do you have a keytar?

My parents bought one in the 80s and I'm not sure why. I used to play it a lot when I was little, and it plays a Wham! song as the demo. mrgreen

let's see here...student of 7 years.. lemme see where to start
YTS-52 Tenor sax with flames written on the bell in sharpie (it came with no engraving -_-') with a vintage otto link hard rubber and 3 van doren java reeds all tied together with a van doren dark lig.
Selmer Series 9 Clarinet, van doren b45 mouthpiece, 3 1/2 van doren V12 reeds van doren optimum ligature
YSC-20...crappy clarinet, I started on it
Bundy II alto sax w/ yamaha neck. Conn 1920's mouthpiece with Vand Doren Java 3's. I also have a guy hawkins metal mouthpiece I play with 2 1/2's. I play it for fun and for giggin', not for anything too special yet.
Bundy II flute. Once again, I play for fun.
Selmer Signet 122F oboe-it ain't jazzy, but it's one of my instruments.
Beuscher C-Melody sax-well, it's all silver and it looks pretty..

I just run with a simple selmer Tenor. It's kinda pricey crying . Any ways I use its standard mouthpeice for classic even though it kinda blows. LOL. My grand piano is a Maximiliaan and its kinda cool. Besides its great intonation when playing more swing type music. Its very easy to tune. I don't have a bass yet but I do play my highschools and it is an expensive Warwick. Now how can they trust me. twisted
