Chris,
Way back in jr. high, another kid saw me walking home with my french horn
case and asked what it was. Told him it was a portable electric snail.
Perhaps you could claim your theorbo as a miniature electric giraffe.
Cheers,
Steve

Taco,
My first response is usually an awkward silence.
I'm not SURE if the person is joking and so I stand
there with a dumb smile on my face for a moment. Then
I think to myself "Oh God, should I correct him/her?
Is this person going to take it as an insult?" Then I
usually say something

My own personal favourite remains the time I was carrying my archlute in its
case, and some kid commented 'wow that's a really big spoon'. :)

Dear all,
this is very interesting topic, indeed! (I leave David's and Chris' texts
below for reference.)
I think we all have our opinions of accepted ways of performances and our

musician", who seemed to accept anything f
