Strobe Pick What are some good Halloween decorating ideas using blacklights?
I'm having a Halloween party (adults) and among other decorations, I have two 12" blacklights. I'm trying to figure out what I can do with them that might look cool.
I have a long hallway that leads to the bathroom, and I was planning on putting a blacklight bulb in the hall light as well as using a fogger & strobe. I have one of those spiders that drops down (motion activated) that I'm going to use there as well. So I was thinking of increasing the blacklight by using one of the 12" lights in that area. I guess I'd need something else there that would pick up the effects of the blacklight, which I guess is the point of my question. Also, would a strobe do much when used with a blacklight?
You should kind of angle the bulb diagonally up, so the fog rises into it, and place the strobe Light on the ground, but make it cross the smoke from the fogger, so it kind of puts a mood in there, and the spider will really get them since their focus is on the lights. Maybe, if you didn't want to put in the spider, you can put a hand in front of the balck light or strobe light, and angle the black light to the wall.
I can modifie a record player or fit an elctric drive to a broken wind up gramaphone.
What should the angles between lines on a strobe disc be to establish it is running at 78rpm usind a 50Hz lamp.
What pick up an needle combination is best to play the record?
or should I fit a mic to the mechanical speaker on the old gramaphone? if so what angle should I regrind the used needles to?
Get yourself a 1960s record deck that has 78 speed and a crystal pick-up with a sapphire stylus. There are plenty around - try eBay. The output from the pick-up can go straight to a sound card and you can use some sound editing software to tidy it up.
Double Bass Where can I rent a double bass? What's the best way to teach myself to play?

the absolte BEST way to check out playing a double bass is this one thats under $100 new. the sound is amazing, its easy to play, but its kinda crazy lookin http://www.BogdonMusic.com
How much does a double bass teacher make? What would be a good location? I don't think they'll make as much compared to a violin or piano teacher.
Assuming you mean teaching private lessons:
They would typically make the same, if not more, than other teachers per hour. The problem is that you have a harder time finding students. But, students have harder time finding teachers, and thus why I say you may actually make a little more. However, it would be pretty much impossible to teach "full-time" until you've been doing it for many years to build up clientele.
If you mean how much would they make teaching somewhere like a university, then you would probably make less teaching bass than piano simply due to the fact that, as with private teaching, there is less work for you to do at the school because there are fewer students. Therefore you're less useful to them and they pay you less. Unless you're somewhere with a huge music program, you'd probably have trouble finding a full-time position rather than just an adjunct position.
A good location is anywhere there are students. Depending on what level you want to teach, this could vary. If you want to at a university, then that kind of job is hard to come by. If you want to teach beginners, then you should look for a community that has a strong emphasis on orchestra for younger students. Most areas focus on band in their schools, so you'll have to do some research. Also, the higher the income levels and the higher the population density the easier it will be to get students. Unfortunately those typically don't overlap since higher income typically means more living area per person.
Chord Professor has anybody heard of a case like this one i will describe? its not all inclusive and there is much more.?
I study music theory so one day i took the Greek circle of fiths and arrainged all 7 greek modes mathmematically and in chart form, what i discovered was that the Greek diagram, the circle of fiths is actualy a 3D body of notes, a 3D Matrix, not 2D , flat and linear, looking at the circle of fiths 3 dimensionally i started to find geometric 3 dimensional scales and chords, I know University educated music professors and professional musicians who were blown away when i showed them the 3d matrix , but what this has started within me and 2 others is almost for want of abetter phrase divine? or supernatural occurences, myself and another have experienced concurrent gravitational shifts, rapid cognative EXPANSION of our minds, the ability to read minds and intrepret data and concepts very rapidly, we no longer believe in the modern or accepted concept of time, knowledge and wisdom come to us at an almost manic pace its like i discovered a logic bomb and it has not stopped exploding.
NO I have not heard of a case like this, however,
sounds like it would make for a great book. I would definately read your theory if you wrote it.
