Ron naps comfortably atop a virginal, a small, rectangular type of harpsichord. Submitted by Ann Ramsey (@annxramsey on Threads).
Virginals use the same plucking mechanism for the springs as standard harpsichords, but usually only have one string per key, and lay them out transversely in a rectangular case like we see with Ron’s keyboard above.
Ollie loves to nap on the Yamaha digital piano and soak up the morning sun.

Gibbous stands proudly atop a Novation UltraNova. Behind him, we see a large Eurorack modular system. We also see a Nord Modular and sundry pedals.

Winchester advises me to play more Mellotron.
Winchester is a wise kitty.
You can see his previous appearance on CatSynth here.
Handsome buddy sits atop a Korg Microsampler. We see a Behringer TD-3 up front, and the Korg MS-20 Mini to the left.
Submitted by fan Erik Gibbels via our Facebook page. He shared a bit more about Buddy:
He is with me for about 2 months now. I adopted him from the shelter. He was found on the street. He is making very good progress as he was afraid of humans. I always wanted to have a red cat. He goes well with my 2 girls Kitty and Suzy.
Dahlia strikes another beautiful pose, this time next to the Roland JP-8080. In the background, we also see a Korg MiniKorg 700, an Ensoniq ESQ-1, and a red Roland SH-101. We at CatSynth particularly covet a couple in this collection.

Chichiro peers inside a case with modules from XAOC Devices.

Chihiro was eager to climb into the bottom section of the XAOC Box. Once again, I was moving stuff around which meant taking just about everything out to get to the ribbon cable headers.
This expression speaks volumes 😸
The beautiful Dahlia returns, and she has brought some great vintage Roland machines: the MC-202 rhythm composer and the JP-8080 virtual analog module.

MC-2oh2 and Grand Duchess Dahlia Darling of Meowington Manor (Dahlia for short)…I interrupted a meowing and rubbing tirade to snap this pic. She went back to meowing and rubbing immediately after. She’s the best puss.
Big Merp seems to be enjoying the Volca Modular, perhaps more as a head scratcher than as a musical instrument.
