That explains it!
"Mallet",
cause that is what I threaten to use it as when it acts up.
As for a dog name, I think a popular one for dogs that "bite the hands that feed them" could be Ashjaee. Oops.
just don't have it working with Curly and Moe.
I bought an old Dietzgen, that had been knocked over, to play with. I named it Gloria, as in Sick Transit Gloria ...
No disrespect intended to Paul P, that was before I'd heard of his wife.
We call our QS "Hal" (2001 paranoia) Just keep seeing that red light following me around. Freaks me out sometimes!
I call mine "Hymie"

Well, if you are still gonna have Fred then you need an Ethel to go with him.

Have never actually given an instrument a name, it was more in the way I talked and appreciated her that mattered....and meant every word.
They are also easy to replace with a new model and retire the older one to the shelf.
Hope you have a plan when Fred or Gracie talks back.....
Our R8 is "Trinity".
You're kiddin right Joe? Do yo name your car's too? I don't name inanimate objects, myself, it's simply "the gun".
I always thought naming things was kind of girly 😉
LOL
Dtp
No...I'm not...lol
My Ford Mustang was named Mary Jane.
My Hiper is named Steve.
Sorry ...but I was dropped on my head as a kid.
😛
I have a gargoyle in my rock garden/frog pond I call Hank, after my uncle...ugly old cusses, the both of them!
This reminds me of the time I was hired to log some beetle kill off of a retired couples parcel.
I show up one morning in my beat up old rubber tired skidder. The gal comes out and wanted to know what I had named my skidder as she thought all vehicles needed a name.
I told her I had called it quite a few things when its broken down on me, but I had never actually named it.
Let it name itself based on it's performance. Like animals, they always bring a name to mind based on their actions.
