Musical Jokers

This is a lovely but outdated article about my musical jokers.  You can read it or you can click through to more modern ones written in the 2020-21 era.  There are now five subsections of musical jokers.

  2. Wind Instruments: this page!

  3. Percussion including piano.
  4. Musical Ensembles (to keep joker sets together)

Musical Jokers Overview - circa 2017

One of my joker categories in my taxonomy are my musical jokers.  There are 60 musical joker playing cards.  Here are a few of my favorites and then they are all shown below by their page in the album which is organized with a flute and wind sections, stringed instruments, and miscellaneous. (updated 1/2018 - this section is being organized into three different sections. The online updates, there is now a Jokers - Musical - String Section, a Wind Instruments section, a percussion section (still in the works), and for those sets of jokers that belong together but which cross the aisles, an Ensemble Trios
section.







 






The musical section is organized by type of instrument. We start in the wind section. More specifically, with the flutes, fifes, and piccolos.  There are two full pages of wind instruments and then a few on the miscellaneous pages.

This next page of nine is built around the  group of six entertainers at the top.  One is playing the clarinet, the bells, the drums, two stringed strummed instruments, and one seems to be cheating at cards (but he is part of this same group so he is here). Then three more jokers playing guitar-like instruments.



This next page, only four deep, is about the drums.


This page starts with a threesome of jokers playing a horn, a drum, and I'm not sure what the first one is doing.  Even the original is hard to decipher.



Jokers playing stringed instruments!  There are about 27 jokers playing stringed instruments, one of whom is also riding a donkey! Well, one is actually beating a drum and perhaps should be moved to the percussion section above. One is playing the saw and one seems to be playing a shovel but maybe it's just rectangular style of guitar.

  4. Musical Ensembles (to keep joker sets together)
Plus, there are more wind instruments that are two-headed so they are in the topsy musical section.

There are also jokers with real musicians which are in the real people section. And Elvis, the King, of course has his own section.

  1. Hang Drums around this price range are good quality and are generally made in Bali or Russia. While they are not made exactly to the PANArt Method, they are still lovely instruments. percussiondream.com
