BLUNDERBUSS Etymology:
The term “blunderbuss” is of Dutch origin, from the Dutch word donderbus, which is a combination of donder, meaning “thunder”, and buss, meaning “Pipe” (Middle Dutch: busse, box, tube, from Late Latin, buxis, box).[1] The similar German Büchse is as common for tin as for rifle.
The transition from donder to blunder is thought by some to be deliberate; the term blunder was originally used in a transitive sense, synonymous with to confuse, and this is thought to describe the stunningly loud report of the large bore, short barreled blunderbuss.
Here’s a comparison of the Blunderbuss with a standard Musket.
Okay, anyone remember I won the 3rd prize ‘TF Care Package’ from that Tone Factor contest a couple weeks ago? The prize was a sweet Tone Factor T-shirt, some Gerlitz Guitar Honey, Gerlitz No. 1 wax, Big Bends Lil’ Luber, and a mess o’ stickers & picks from EHX, ZVex, & Tone Factor. Way cool. WAY way cool.
I just wanted to :
#1: give big ups, mad props, all glory to Tone Factor — ¡Viva la Tone Factor!
#2: share my Paul Reed Smith Classic Electric 22 story.
