Marzipan's Instruments

GuitarCarol is Marzipan's guitar, (although in Powered by The Cheat cartoons, she is called "Carl"). She is modeled after a nylon-string classical/Spanish guitar. Carol features a drawing of a "Don't Tread on Me"-style snake from the American Revolutionary War. Marzipan plays Carol in the band Cool Tapes with Strong Mad and The Cheat. However, the sound Carol makes in the song "Cool Things", and in One Two, One Two, is much more like that of an electric guitar with distortion. | |

Electric GuitarIn different town, Strong Bad wishes that Marzipan would rock, picturing her playing an electric guitar. The guitar resembles a skull, spine, and several other bones. It is unknown if Marzipan has ever played an electric guitar, however, as mentioned above, it seems as though Carol is capable of making an electric guitar resonance in the song "Cool Things" and in One Two, One Two. |
UkuleleThe Ukulele is used by Marzipan to play Hawaiian music for her luau. This is a more appropriate instrument than Carol to accompany Strong Sad's Polynesian prose. This instrument sports the letter "M", standing either for "Marzipan" or as the monogram of the instrument's own (unknown) name. Appearances:

KeyboardThe Cheat's keyboard is a Casio Sk-1 portable sampling keyboard. The Cheat has played the Strong Badia National Anthem, a background beat for Strong Bad's chart-topping hit "Song About Sibbie," and the acoustics for "Everybody Knows It" on it. The Cheat's keyboard appears to have an extra key between E and F and two extra keys between B and C. According to Strong Bad in the email guitar, if he had a band, The Cheat would play keyboards.

DJ Equipment/MixingWhen The Cheat is on tour as DJ Teh C., he uses a set of DJ equipment, which seems to include a pair of single turntables. He most likely also has a mixer board, as he is able to make an Indie-Tronic remix out of The Geddup Noise, as well as a remix of "Not Talkin' 'bout Butter". Appearances:

Record PlayerThe Cheat's Record Player appeared in rampage when he was playing background music for Strong Bad and Coach Z when they were going on a lyrical rampage. According to the DVD Commentary for rampage, this is based off of the Fisher Price Record Player toy that Matt Chapman had when he was a kid, and tried to bring to college. The real record player could play 33 to 45 RPM records and, according to Matt, could only play "slow stuff or jazz" or else "it just couldn't handle it". Appearances:

DrumsThe Cheat plays a trap set in the band Cool Tapes. In Cool Things and Weclome Back he plays a drum set with a crash cymbal, hi-hat, floor tom, snare drum and bass drum. He has "Cool Tapes" written on his bass drum head. Appearances:

GuitarStrong Bad was heard playing an as-yet unseen classical guitar in the postcard for "It's that Clock!!!" in the E-mail "Vacation". It's possible he took Strong Sad's guitar on vacation with him, or that the instrument in fact belongs to Strong Bad, as Strong Sad hasn't been seen playing it since. | |
Electric GuitarStrong Bad first claimed to be able to play an electric guitar in the E-mail "Guitar", but he didn't demonstrate this. Later, in "Rock Opera" Strong Bad is seen playing a "Flying V" electric guitar at the end of the song. According to Strong Bad, he is schooled both in rythem and solo playing styles (and his performance in "Vacation", while a little rusty seems to confirm this). Homestar Runner's Instruments
