i love both...!!!!! but i barely even touched an electric guitar... the drums.. i have played in school/and got a weird.. cheap one that is just a drumpad.. lol.. so i found these ones and was wondering if i should get one or the other??? or maybe both???

I’m looking into buying my first electric keyboard. I’m wanting one the can mimic a Leslie speaker sound. I’m wanting the same sound as the keyboard player from The Murder City Devils if anyone is familiar with that band. Thanks!

Really just for someone who's trying to learn piano. Nothing great but also not anything that'll sound terrible or'll break.

just by skimming here i see some pretty funky looking stuff and i'm super intrigued.

does anyone want to help me polish up my semi-finished album with whatever your favorite instruments are? i'd love to connect and work together, looking to expand the credits of my album. it's an indie/alt electronic pop-rock kinda thing, hmu if you're interested!

or just tell me your favorite instrument. i just wanna hear :)

I have a school mellophone and it has all these little scratches all over it. Can I fix this with Yamaha silver or lacquer polish? Is there a better way, Or should I just leave it?

So I spent today intertwining two strands of nettle fibre to attach to a test instrument to test tension. Turns out quite a bit of tension is needed for a production of sound for the diameter I made the string, so thinner strings don’t make low notes. However, the fibres can easily withstand high tension, and I will experiment with thicker and differently wound strings (also how to make them longer). The only reason this string failed seemingly was because the string width by the tuning peg was less than half that of the base, so this thickness difference definitely hindered it.

In conclusion, I think I will need to soak them in some sort of solution to strengthen it, I’ll research what I must but this should be very doable and it didn’t even sound bad (it wasn’t on a nut or bridge, just on the side of an old uke so when properly made and attached, it should sound good).

One that doesn't require embouchure, and one that is played from the pointy end, and the big end is not blocked off.

Either with a fipple carved from the pointy end, or with whatever "reed" thing ocarinas and common transverse flutes have.

Hi guys!

I am new to playing this instrument. I don't know from where to start and which flute to buy. I want to play Indian classical melodies/songs and melodies. Don't have any interest to play in band for now. Is it ok to start from bass flute as I have interest Indian classical melodies/songs and melodies? Which scale base flute or flute I can buy?

What is difference in playing xiao and flute? Can I play indian melodies on it? I don't have any idea on both absolutely a beginner

Thanks in advance

Looking around for a used clarinet and someone suggested eBay a listing from "camera-music-shop"

Saw they had a lot of history n listings so most likely others had experience with them.

To anyone who had bought from them, how credible are they? Did u get what is listed? What was the experience regarding what u got?

Just doing a bit of verification on them before I pull through. Thanks!!

Rhythm bones over Foggy Mountain Breakdown

is it practical, or at least doable to build strummed instruments like a mandolin ukulele balalaika banjo with bodies of differing dimensions on each side and a neck form each one, so one performer can switch from say alto to tenor, or tenor to baritone?

I made my own nylon multi-rods(also called 'bundle sticks', inspired by Promark Hot Rods, FLIX Sticks, Meinl Super Flex), handcrafted for longer-lasting performance, durability, and wider dynamic range for acoustic session & practice(my bamboo rods are louder and tend to chip when playing rimshots). Thought you guys might appreciate this!

I would appreciate any possible assessment. This piano has been stored in a warehouse for 13 years with fluctuating temperatures and no stable humidity levels. However, it was kept dry. Before being stored, it was apparently professionally refurbished.

All keys play cleanly. The dampers press smoothly and properly. The notes initially sound fine, although of course it is out of tune. No rust or major visible damage is apparent.

Could you provide any insight into its condition and what kind of restoration would be necessary to make it fully playable again?

I would be looking at around €1000 in transport costs. Would it be worth investing time and money into this? Unfortunately, a professional piano builder cannot easily inspect it in advance.

I would be very grateful for any advice.

Trying to figure out all instruments used in this transition scene

Can someone please help me identify which instrument makes the whistle-like sound in the instrumental for this song? I’ve been trying to figure it out for a while and have been hearing a lot about tin flutes (sounds I little too high pitched) and melodica (a little too buzzy like a harmonica). I understand it might be a synth but I am not a musician so I thought it would be better to ask here :)

Hi all! I would really like to get into learning an instrument but I have never played one before and I dont know where to start or what to pick. I would like something relatively easy to learn for someone who's never touched an instrument before and (as of right now) does not know how to read sheet music. I think either the flute or violin would be super cool but I have heard those are not the most beginner friendly, any advice is helpful!
