They (zills) actually have multiple names. I don't remember most of them though. But, here's a link to a page that tells you all about it:



Yay for noise-making things!

I have similar things that I call "Zills" too, but they're much bigger and noisier.

You're silly

Knapp: Name 3 famous singers that best describe your singing capabilities.

Loki: You do indeed rock. I disagree with cello being cliche, though. The cello is a beautiful and amazingly versatile instrument. It has the widest range of any stringed instrument and is said to have tonal qualities that most imitate the human voice. A good cello is ridiculously expensive, though. Even the cheapest bottom-of-the-barrel cellos out there are about $500. A "decent" one will be quadruple that and it just goes up from there. But yeah, I love cellos. As an example, look up a song called "Flames" by VAST.

This is the Zill that I want: http://img3.musiciansfriend.com/dbase/m ... _mono3.mp3
(It currently street price is $229 but someone on Craig's List has it for $89. Unfortunately I can't justify spending that kind of money right now.)
