More Musical Product Names

Yes, it's another installment of the longest running Mixed Meters silly obsession: pictures of products or companies which use musical terms in their names.   Believe it or not, this is Number Ten in the series.  (Click here to see them all.)

Yeah, some of these are stretching the point.  I am unapologetic.  Click a picture for a close-up.

This time around we start with a viewfinder for a writer who makes a living creating music and follow that with a small boneless meat flute.  Yum.  Then two musical performance techniques - one for eating on a harp, the other for groups of singers who need a place to live.

Part two begins with a cold, diary-based sequence of musical tones, followed by a shorter sequence used for interior design.  There are two variations on simultaneous groups of notes, one if you're having ear, nose and throat problems, the other for coloring the tips of your fingers.  Either a high female singer or some words in a song will sartorially leave you in stitches.

Part two ends with a two-fer: a master of achieving exactly the right frequency on a mobile musical instrument.

Part three is all drinkable.

We begin with a hot caffeinated liquid which will make you sing Hallelujah.  (This was submitted by an alert Mixed Meters' reader, the diving composer Jeff Laity.  That's a first.  Thanks Jeff.)

This is followed by a health conscious operatic showpiece for women, one which first needs to be mixed with water.  Next there's a lemon of a grand opera wearing a winged helmet and a fruity rhyming South American dance.  Then a winey high-pitched string instrument and a study piece translated into Spanish.

We end, as always, with some fast, dry bubbly.  Drink up.  As they say in old Mexico, L'Chaim.

Still More Musical Product and Business Names

It's a Mixed Meters thing.  This is the ninth installment.  If you want to see all of the previous posts in this series, click on this link.

This time around we begin with five businesses (the first three photographed hurriedly while driving past):
  • a tuned percussion instrument made from precious metal
  • a sexy dance number with combustible airborne particulates
  • a variation on that instrument Yuba played in Cuba
  • a specialty piece for three
  • an in-time HVAC
We follow up with potables:
  • a Beethoven Symphony
  • another metal percussion instrument
  • a piece sung in church or before sporting events (in two varieties)
  • a Renaissance part song
And, finally, to tie it all together, some dark, gentle and syncopated music to burn up and enjoy as we suck it into our mouths.

Yes, you can make the pictures bigger by clicking on them.

More Musical Marketing Words

As a Mixed Meters occasional feature we present pictures of musically named products and companies. Or maybe it's a bug.  Either way, if you've been waiting for another episode, wait no longer.

This time we have
  • A famous Austrian composer at the mall selling valuable things.
  • A carbonated mixture of vodka and white wine which has become a simple and unconditional fusion melody.
  • Three vegetarian combinations of a melodic nature. (It's a medley of medleys.)
  • A work of art with Japanese raw fish and rice.
  • Another work of art in financial services.  (This one must be complicated because it requires a conductor holding a baton.)
  • A studio where the conductor points to the performers just as they're supposed to start playing!!!









This is the eighth episode in the series. See all of them.

More Musical Merchandise

Musical Marketing is a Mixed Meters Meme. No one else cares much.

This installment we begin with three drinkables:
  • a Chardonnay with a hint of Chant, 
  • the reverse of a 45 and 
  • a home brew with operatic overtones. 



Then there's:
  • a South Asian stringed instrument, 
  • a frittered lead singer and 
  • a symphony from Sienna.




(Click any picture if you need to examine the merchandise up close.)

Musical Terms in the Marketplace

It's another episode of a favorite on-going irregular MM feature.  You can count on it to appear when my time is short and I need a simple post requiring minimal thought.

The previous installment featured only potable music and this time we drink in two more: a pluckable tequila and a liquid Italian opera composer, who, it turns out, goes over well with babies and children.  Next are two masters of their art followed by two signs of a euphonious city.  Also watch out for a smokin' military wake-up call and a garden variety string instrument for less than $5.

Finally, this collection ends with a cheesy pun.












You can see all of Mixed Meters' pictures showing products and companies with musical names.  This post is the sixth in the series.

So who is the Young Maestro?
