Nothing beats fond love sir

Nothing beats fond love sir

My dad loved his HiFi but he loved my mum more: he gave (yes gave) me his KEF Celeste-IIIs on their round stands because "your mother doesn't like the big black boxes" and replaced them with a much smaller pair of speakers to please her (although I thought the SQ of the KEFs was better especially in the bass dept). His Linn Axis was his pride & joy. I still have what's left of his HiFi and in memory of him will try to put it to good use. My mum and my sister are not interested in HiFi.

Listening sofa. Though sometimes I drag an armchair in front. Puts me closer to the speakers and gives a slightly different presentation.

Are those at the back up against the white wall in the middle some kind of stringed musical instruments?

Indeed youg Phil. Indeed. Proper Telecaster, Alhambra acoustic, Stagg fretted bass, Squire copy Strat and an ESP LTD.

Less visible, Technics piano, trumpet, saxophone, three accordians and a small variety of oddments.

Even less visible: playing ability

Forgot. And a Uke and a Banjolin. Actually, both rather decent ones.

Nice of you to call me "young". Many others wouldn't.

Nowt wrong with being a multi-instrumentalist, even if you do have a preference, or something you think you're best at. I claim to be an out-of-practice guitarist, who (used to) be able to find his way around a keyboard, or an electric bass.

This sofa. It's a bit of a long room, this is one third of it, at one end.

I'm a multi-instrumentalist alright. Equally crap at all of them

same here. I had the Ikea Poang chair many years ago. Decided to re-purchase because I loved it the first time around. One person assembling this by themselves is difficult and I was frustrated, but eventually, I read the tips from this article and I got the job done.

You are able to get a slight "rocking" motion out of this chair when using it; I do it all the time and it soothes me. Silly, yes - but it's comforting. Wish the cushion was thicker..

I did manage to get one. No problem putting it together but I don't it find comfortable after a few hours.

Been a bit of a change in my music room today I took delivery of a Stress-Less extra wide 2 seater recliner. Decided my pooch Lucy needs to share my space as she is still pining for her sister Bella.

Yes I know it's a bit daft but it's not just for Lucy I think a two seater will work better when I have visitors.

Just trying to get everything in place atm I think the last 2 pics might be best for now then see how it goes like that
