What Musical Instrument Am I?

Answer to last Wordless/ful Wednesday: Steel pan/drum
Today, steel pans are made from flat sheet metal and molded into the shape of a bowl using hammers. Steel pans today are tuned with electronic tuners and need to be tuned 1-2 times a year. Steel pans are made into soprano, alto, tenor, and bass pans. They can be played solo or in a steel pan band. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steelpan
Below is an example of a steel pan:

HAPPY NEW YEAR TO YOU! My Wordful is posted. Hope you can drop by for a visit. Stay safe and sober, and enjoy tonight's celebration and seeing 2009 come to us with the hopes of a good year.

Thats intersesting. . .I have always liked the sound of these

accordion?
Have a Happy New Year!!!
Polka time! Of course I'm sure it's not JUST an accordian right? There's probably a fancy name that only accordian enthusiasts would know?
Let me see... could this be a flying pandemonium? No, no. A gracious warbling spinollia?
Wait! An accordion?
HAPPY NEW YEAR

I love the sound those make! So cool!
Being from the land of Frankie Yankovic and later, "Wierd Al" Yankovic, I know an accordian when I see one or hear one.
happy new year!
I'm pretty sure it's an accordian.
Happy New Year~
Ooooh I like those
I should really share your wordless wednesday post with my husband. He would just love them! I really need to start reading your post more carefully. And then the next time I am out with my husband watching an unusual band (which isn't often due to lack of babysitters) I will be able to name some instruments that he wouldn't think I know about! Interesting stuff!!!!
Love your blog! You've got an award over here http://nennisworld.blogspot.com/2009/01/second-slice-of-pie.html
I hope the weekend was fabulous!
An accordion - just like my Grandpa played...
I love that sound.
Just checking in! I hope all is well!
Umm... are you still doing this blog?
