Ok

So I have an addiction. I collect guitars and basses. I also give them girls' names. This is strange, I know, but these beauties are very near and dear to me...so a friend on here was asking about my latest acquisition. So I though it might be best just to make a thread so others could show off their stuff.

Mods* I thought this was best place for this thread but feel free to move to deaf musicians or wherever is best.

So here is my newest guitar, from 2 days ago! I call her the Kathleen Turner Overdrive...KTO, or "Katie" for short

The one on the right is my #1 because of the neck size, it's a tad slimmer than the one on the left, plays like butter, and it sounds great. :)

Son, can I have them, Alex? :fingersx: They, sure look sm-oo-k-i-nnnnnnnn'!
 
I have a pictures of my Board (aka my viberaphone from marching band season) from my camera. And my picture looks cool. Because My picture from my camera lines up all the way down with the mirambas to the end of the line which is another viberaphone.

Our pit setup is 4 Mirambas in the middle, next to the first and last miramba are the viberaphones, then in the back is the viberaphones behind the first 2 viberaphones in the front, the the glockenspiel (part miramba and xylophone) next to the right side viberaphone, Then next to the glockenspiel is the drumset, then the gituar players (3 gituar players: Bass, Electric, and accoustic) and then next to it is the vibraphone, then in the wayyyy back is a HUGE sythesizers. 3 per person. the synthizers are awesome!!!
 
Awesome guitars, guys. I'm at work now but when i get back home I'll take a snap a pic of my Stratocaster, "Cloverleaf". :)

Traded in my Vic Firth sticks for congas and a sound box - drumming was really becoming difficult for me as time progressed. I do love feeling the beat while playing the box - kinda can't help it coz im SITTING on it when I play! It's a real hit around these parts! Lol

Also love mandolin (learning) and harp.

Quite obviously, there are many more deaf pianists than you would assume. I’m certain that anyone of them could play in the “ragtime” genre if they so chose, especially since several are classically trained, and accomplished enough to be professionals, rather than someone simply pursuing a hobby.
 
It's more than a hobby. I see this as a learning discipline. It's not something I simply "dabble" in. I continue to learn and evolve about the ragtime history and the ragtime pianists of the past into the present, including competitions which has lately been a great source of ragtime revivals. This adds an additional depth to my knowledge on ragtime. I've been doing this for quite some time. This isn't something that I just started. It started a few decades back working forward with books, people and performances. The internet just makes it even more fun and enjoyable, obviously. And to network as well which has proven valuable already. Even if they are "classically trained" their interest is clearly not specifically into ragtime though they have worked and played ragtime era music, no doubt but an altogether a different story if one seriously gets into the ragtime playing business.

Unless you know specifically of another deaf/hh ragtime pianist, let me know. Meanwhile, I'll continue to blog as a source of inspiration to those who are deaf/hh and plays the piano (or wants to).

I've already linked those deaf/hh pianists in my blog you mentioned. There are deaf and hard of hearing pianists. If I find them, I put the links in my blog regardless of which genre, style or period piece they prefer to play. It's an ongoing process.

As I've stated prior, ragtime is nothing more than a genre. Any accomplished pianist, and I consider those deaf/hoh pianists who have been classically trained and work professionally, quite capable of producing a tune in style of ragtime.

Knowing ragtime history does not a player make. Your post was made under the assumption that a deaf pianist was virtually unheard of, and that being able to imitate a style is a rare accomplishment. Obviously, there are many deaf/hoh pianists, and moreover, many who are accomplished enough musicians to actually make a living at their craft. Let me ask you...do you play by ear, or do you have to rely on printed scores?
