Those are hardly "manly" instruments. In fact, they fairly scream "effeminate". Manly pianos would be Mason & Hamlin, Knabe, Chickering... If you had to go European, then Bechstein, Fazioli, and Steingraeber. Sauter and Bosie? Teh Ghey!
Imagine posting that in PW as a dealer. That's some ballsy talk right there that will attract many defenders of impartiality and civility out of the woodworks.

Does a collection of single malts count as "manly"?

I was gonna mention mine, but that's a tough sell for some. 'Specially since a lot of them out there these days are basically just man-skirts.

Identifying narcissists isn't difficult. Just look for the person who is constantly fishing for compliments
and admiration while breaking down over even the slightest bit of criticism.

We have the freedom to choose our actions, but we do not get to choose our consequences.

I used to have to wear it daily at boarding school. Grew to treat it like a pair of shorts. The abuse we put our kilts through....damn things are indestructable. Got married in my kilt, with dress jacket and bow tie. Grew out of it a while back and am now have my father's, though I don't wear it much these days.

The Boer War era sporran ( I actually have 2 of them) looks something like this (believe it's horse hair):

Luv it 1hp!

I'm reminded of my dad's; he kept it in a dresser downstairs. Mom didn't like it.

I believe recently there was another uproar of seal hunting. The pelts are great. I've boots still. But they are also used for sporrans. Ever see these 1hp?

I would have to say my 500lb. organ is the manliest thing I own, followed by the custom moving equipment I had made for my Steinway (8 pads, 2 straps, a rubber band, a custom grand board with the serial # stenciled on it etc.).

Beyond that, my filthy work gloves,, my worn-out workboots and my tools rate as manly.

The other thing I own that's manly I only own because I was born with it, and it has caused me back problems all my life lugging it around.

Not sure I've seen a seal pelt sporran, but I have seen what I seem to remember was a badger hair sporran with the badger's head at the top. Doubt it would be politically correct to wear it these days.

Grandfather's WWII Airborne uniform (can't believe how slender he once was. I always remember him as a much brawnier guy). He was one of the ones who dropped on Normandy. Manliness by intergenerational proxy.
Civilisation, I vaguely realized then - and subsequent observation has confirmed the view - could not progress that way. It must have a greater guiding principle to survive. To treat it as a carcase off which each man tears as much as he can for himself, is to stand convicted a brute, fit for nothing better than a jungle existence, which is a death-struggle, leading nowhither. I did not believe that was the human destiny, for Man individually was sane and reasonable, only collectively a fool.

I hope the gunner of that Hun two-seater shot him clean, bullet to heart, and that his plane, on fire, fell like a meteor through the sky he loved. Since he had to end, I hope he ended so. But, oh, the waste! The loss!
