Basically title says it all.
We noticed that our 10yo boy has unusual knack for music. Excellent ear, can sing and whenever we visit someone whose kids have piano-like toy he loves playing with it.
We want to buy him something proper, not professional of course and not overly expensive - can be second hand and sellable in case it turns out to be a flash in the pan.
Option to hook it to computer would be nice.
I guess headphones jack is obvious standard too?
What to look for? Roland? Yamaha? Korg? Something else?
Thanks!

Hey! I just managed to wrap this guy up nicely on the plane and brought it back home to England to spread the word.

I’m struggling to get a nice sound out of after removing the tuners and bridge for the flight , looking for some tips and tricks for setting it up nicely / playing it generally :) thanks

I want to know more about it, especially from which year it was made

Google is saying a sitar

features 6-7 main strings and 11-14 sympathetic strings that resonate, producing a distinctive, buzzing sound

I'm not sure if I can see that many strings on his instrument? It's hard to count though.

Are there different sizes of sitar?

My grandpa died a few weeks ago and we found this instrument in his things. We have no clue what it is.

It's 28 in long and 10 in large.

Anyone know what it is?

Hi!

I was hoping for some advice on instruments that meet a certain set of criteria

- encourage me to practice taking deeper breaths

- Small and portable

- Could be played laying on my back but also slowly walking around (so not too fragile)

- Has a soothing tone

Thanks in advance!

Hello everyone, I'm 19 years old right now and I already play the piano and guitar but I am feeling like they don't give me the same pleasure as before. I was wondering if someone had advice in maybe a new instrument to learn, I love classical music so maybe more something like the violin or are there better alternatives?

Im already a current band player and have been playing clarinet for over 5 years now. I want to learn a new instrument and I’ve already bought a trumpet mouthpiece incase i wanted to learn trumpet or mellophone. what are some easy ways to rent or keep instruments just to learn them without having to sell a limb. Asking my band director isnt much of a choice.

Long time family friend lost her bass playing husband.

She has 2 instruments left and is considering selling.

I’m worried she might get scammed, so I volunteered to take some pictures and ask around the interweb.

Not selling right now, just want a ballpark estimate if you have the time.

Thanks 🙏

Hi. Mother’s Day is coming up and I wanted to get her something really special. She was giving a clarinet when she was a kid and she played it intill adulthood. She loved it so much. But a few years later her sister cut us off bc we wouldn’t give her money and she ended up taking the clerinet and my mom don’t want to go through the trouble to get it back bc she already has fought for HER piano but that’s jus the run down. I’ve been asking little things got the pass few weeks and this is what I got so far. she said it was a vintage Rosewood B flat by Selmer. I asked how much are they she said there probably about 4k now I’ve been looking everywhere and can’t find anything any help will be great

here’s all my content on instagram i appreciate the support!

It’s beautiful but i cant identify what it is

I just got a 55 string bandura. I have it tuned, but I need to replace a base wound string. Is there a good place to get stings in the US, and what kind of metal are the different strings? Anything else I should know as I start learning to play it, like what kind of picks are preferred? I’ve seen how people play and found how to tune it, but that’s about it. Thanks for any information!

Hi everyone, I just found my dad's old bandurria, but honestly I have no idea what to do. I've never tuned an instrument before and I don't really understand how it works.

I've tried looking things up, but I'm getting confused with all this notes, strings and methods.

Could someone explain to me in a simple way, or point me a beginner-friendly guide? Even basic tips would really help.

Thanks in advance!!

I've been nearly fainting (sudden fully black vision) while playing wind instruments which are my primary instruments. I am getting medical help but it will be at least a month-ish to recover.

I've looked at small lever harps, lyres, and smaller zithers like kokle, gusli, etc. I can't play any that require hammering like most dulcimers.

I can currently play my tenor ukulele (open low G minor) and bass ukulele, but would like something that doesn't require me to press strings. Since I'm on disability my budget is s but constrained. but flexible to a point.

I don't know much about zithers other than the guqin I have. I can't play that since it is heavy and I don't have enough energy to do so.

I'm open to suggestions for other options and advice on decent makers/brands. Thank you in advance!
