Rising Star New Pack Opening & RARE Card Giveaway - Win Bodhran (Ends Dec. 4, 2021)

avatar

Last week I had a @RisingStarGame contest and put up a Rare instrument card as a prize, R99 Flame Guitar.

Let's take a look at the rules for entry from that post:

In order to qualify for this giveaway, please leave a comment with your Rising Star username and tell me who your favorite guitarist is or your favorite guitar solo in a song.

If you leave an especially great comment, I'll upvote and send you a slice of PIZZA too! I'll also be sharing my answer to that question when I post the winner announcement.

Entries will be accepted until November 24, 2021 and I will select one winner for this Rare card giveaway.

Next, let's see how many entries included the requirement to share their favorite guitarist or guitar solo in a song: 11. It appears the most popular response for favorite guitarist is Jimmi Hendrix.

My own favorite guitar solo is from the Michael Jackson song Beat It. There is a really great backstory to how this iconic guitar solo came to be and you can read about it here or watch a short video about it here. The solo was performed by Eddie Van Halen and almost didn't happen at all as Eddie hung up on Jackson's producer, Quincy Jones four times because he thought it was a prank call! Shockingly, Eddie took no credit on the track, declined payment, and even re-arranged the middle of the song. This is one of those amazing stories from the music industry that makes you wonder whether things would have turned out a lot differently had all the stars not perfectly aligned to produce such a memorable track.

New Pack Opening

Let's open up another three packs of cards today. Just like last time, if one of the Rare cards are duplicates for me, I will giveaway the Rare card!

Pack 1:

Pack 2:

Pack 3:

Looks like I received a duplicate Rare card so read on to see what you need to do to enter today's giveaway!

Let's take a look at the four Rare cards:

R114 Gold Mic: +50 Luck

R109 Trevor: +100 Fans, +3 Luck, +125 Skill

R112 Bodhran: +50 Luck

The Gold Mic and Bodhran are duplicate rare cards for me. The common cards included a Buster, Cheap Car, two Jacks, Mid Range Decks, and a Mid Range Tour Bus.

My current RisingStar stats are as follows:

2025 Fans
661 Luck
2916 Skill
70 Cards

I have been steadily increasing my level in Rising Star and am now at Level 39. I am trying to quickly get to Level 50 so I can get and use the Millionaire Card. Most of my missions are the Saturday Headline in the Home Town Zone because of the large amount of Starbits and XP that are rewarded each time.

Two great investments I made that are helping my progress along is the Pizza Box and Coffee Cup cards so I don't waste any pizza slice or coffee boosts that I receive along the way. I highly recommend you purchase these two cards to speed up your progress!

New Giveaway!

As I mentioned earlier, if I got a duplicate card I would give it away. That duplicate card for the giveaway is the R112 Bodhran In order to qualify for this giveaway, please leave a comment with your Rising Star username and tell me the strangest instrument you have ever played yourself, or seen someone play in a live performance.

If you leave an especially great comment, I'll upvote and send you a slice of PIZZA too! I'll also be sharing my answer to that question when I post the winner announcement.

Entries will be accepted until December 4, 2021 and I will select one winner for this Rare card giveaway.

The winner will receive a R112 Bodhran RARE instrument card:

You're welcome! Very cool about the zambomba. I've never heard that name before and had to look it up. Once I saw it, it certainly looked familiar. Will you be playing one for Christmas this year? !PIZZA

My user in Risingstar is morenow. The strangest instrument I've ever seen played was a kind of flute made of sticks in a handmade way, but it sounded very good.

I never did go to a live concert and never played an instrumentent at all either, but i can say for sure that the most weird instrument to me is the Theremin


But being realistic is not the most weird instrument that i've seen;
I've seen katanas

Phones

Rulers,hair comb,floppy diskettes, memory RAM...

I saw a harp playing in Ximending, Taipei. Would have to say its rare to see harps around except in cartoons. The strange part? - It was an angel playing it! (no joke, pretty girl)

Harps are really amazing to watch in-person. It's an incredibly difficulty instrument to master too. I haven't seen one played in many years but fondly remember the times I have! !PIZZA

I'm learning about so many beautiful instruments with this post. Thanks for sharing about the Guzheng! It's very harp-like but unique with the way the two hands interact with different parts of the instrument.

Nice! I nearly ended up playing the Cello when picking an instrument to learn in middle school. Ultimately, I ended up going the band route and chose the Trumpet. !PIZZA

I would like to participate @elliptique , the strangest instrument that I play and also one of the most beautiful instruments (I find :D) is the Handpan. Its "just" a piece of steel which sounds great! Here is my example:

That's a very cool instrument! Almost like an inverted steel drum, but the air chamber inside it really adds to the depth of sound! Love your videos on your page too!

Thanks a lot! Yes you're right, the developer of this instrument had the idea of an inverted Steeldrum. :D

@morenow. Well, way back when, the first time I played harmonica it seemed like the strangest instrument I've ever played.
