    Is there a story behind frogs playing mandolins?

    I hate frogs, I stepped on one a couple years ago in my bare feet, and now I cringe when I see one.

    Looks like a left-handed bouzouki, Django.

    But what is this?

    bratsche, #I belive you are correct, and what you posted looks to me like a Charango armadillo mandolin. #I am sure that some of the other players could confirm this since I have only seen the Florida variety. #

    It seemed that the armadillo shell would make good picks, and was wondering if anyone has tried that animal covering yet?

    Why, that's a charango, a traditional instrument from the Andes. #The good ones still have hair (and are housebroken).

    This one I am not really sure about. Not enough strings for uke, guitar, mandolin, or bauzouki. Any ideas?

    Ahh, well, I saw this posted on Texan Dale's classified ad, and had to wonder...


    Never seen such a critter here in FL. #Lotsa possums, though!

    NOTE FROM SCOTT: sorry to edit this post but the image referred to above was apparently removed from the classifieds (not by me) and was not showing up--which was filling my server error logs up with the address of this page so I removed the link.

    Django, three strings, must be a dulcimer.

    brasche, not to worry, Scott put a link to the page http://www.texasmusicmuseum.org/ where you can find him. And, here he is again.

    Now that's the charango-to-be!

    The three-stringer, could it be a single-strung Cuban tres? It looks to have more tuning apparatus than required for three strings.

    Django Fret,

    My Father's Day gift from my kids was the 4 frog birdbath.

    practicality is not our strong suit.

    FLAWO, to heck with practicality. #I bet you must have thought it was a great gift when you got it. #Can you tell what kind of mandolin it has in it?

    In case you decide to expand your frog band, have the kids keep their eyes open for these...
