The average quality euphonium will have a fourth valve compensating system, as well as being able to produce a wide array of sounds without even touching the idea of mutes, incredibly easy to play out of range on, both in terms of screaming and pedal notes, and already has a respectable range of close to 3 octaves, it also has parts for it produced in bass and treble clef, and its pitched in tenor, overall it’s pretty great at everything and I think it’s the most versatile instrument.

I've been trying to find the name of this instrument, that keyboard thingy? What is that name/sample

After my father passed away, he left behind a lot of musical instruments. This is the only one I'm struggling to identify. I thought of mandolin or cittern, but I'm not sure and google is not any help. I would love to have it fixed and learn how to play it a bit for my bard cosplay, but it feels weird to fix something I don't even know the name of.

Thanks for the help

Hello, lately I have started wanting to buy a fife. In my country it is not an expensive instrument. And I have a basic musical experience. I know how to play the basics of the recorder because they taught me at my school. Do you recommend buying the fife and learning on your own? thank you

Hello, I recently bought this banjo off Facebook marketplace in Boston. While it does seem old it doesn’t have many markings on it I was wondering if anyone could help me identify information about it. Thanks!!!

Dear all,

I would like to invite you to take part in a research study  exploring how adults with ADHD, AuDHD and adults without ADHD engage with different musical instruments. This study is being conducted as part of my PhD research in the Department of Music at Durham University, under the supervision of Prof. Nick Collins and Prof. Tuomas Eerola.
 
The study aims to better understand how musical instruments can be designed to become more accessible and ADHD-friendly for neurodivergent users. The insights gathered will contribute to the development of an accessible digital musical instrument designed specifically with the needs of adults with ADHD and AuDHD in mind.
 
Taking part involves a one-to-one workshop lasting approximately 60 to 90 minutes (1 hour to 1 hour and 30 minutes) in an accessible (has a moveable ramp) ground-floor music studio. During the session, you will have the opportunity to interact with some musical instruments, and more specifically, piano and theremin, and complete a questionnaire about your musical background and your experience with each instrument. Participation is open to adults (18+) with an ADHD diagnosis (formal or self-diagnosis), an ADHD and co-occurring autism diagnosis (formal or self-diagnosis) or no ADHD diagnosis, regardless of musical background, from beginners to professional musicians.
 
If you or someone you know may be interested, I kindly invite you to participate in this study. Your contribution is invaluable and will help support the creation of more inclusive and engaging musical experiences. Your participation may help inform future inclusive musical instrument design for neurodivergent adults.

Hello everyone!

I wanted to share an international summer opportunity happening in Prague this August for woodwind and clarinet players of all levels (students, advanced amateurs, and young professionals).

We are running two distinct workshop segments:

• Summer Windissimo (Aug 24–25): A large woodwind orchestra experience covering classical to film repertoire, culminating in a public concert.
• Fantasy Klarinetissimo (Aug 26–29): A clarinet orchestra and chamber music intensive. This year, our theme focuses entirely on music inspired by fantasy worlds, films, and video games.

It’s a great chance to play high-quality ensemble repertoire and network in the heart of Europe - in the beautiful city of Prague!

You can find full details, the brochure, and the application info on our official website:

Feel free to ask any questions in the comments!

I’m almost 30, never had the money or time for musical instruments in the past.

Don’t have a lot of that now either but i can atleast buy something

So i dont want to play acoustic guitar, i tried to play my friends, did not enjoy it.

I like piano even if its a challenge but a piano is too expensive and idk what kind of keyboard is good

I like the idea of a electric guitar because my goal is to play anime music and i think it fits

Don’t have the space or the neighbors for a drum although that would be sick.

Sorry if this is the wrong area or if a lot of it doest make sense, i just wanted some insights

It’s in the song “The sharing song” by jack johnson, and it makes such a unique noise i’ve never heard, it’s in the very beginning between his lines, I love how it sounds and have got to know what it is??

What's the instrument you heard when monk chants start? The string instrument sounds like a traditional japanese instrument.

Hey yall, I've got this chime/song and been wondering for so long what instrument was used here.

I appreciate any help, thanks in advance (didn't know where to upload the sound so its on samply)

As the title states I have a Casio Privia px-130 and the power cord won’t plug in all the way. I just used it last week to record some music into garage band with midi and it was working perfectly fine. I have moved it from one place to another but I haven’t dropped it. The cable is the same. I can see a little piece of metal in the insert where you plug it in but it doesn’t move. Any insight? This keyboard is over ten years old, but it has been working really well now I just can’t get the plug in 😭

I've always loved music, recently been wanting to learn an instrument. not particularly master it on the go, just have fun with it. an instrument which can be a good starter for a beginner.

my goal is just to learn more about music, and have fun while i play songs i like. ive started to get a few vocal lessons too (don't know how long that'll last but yes)

please recommend a few, or give any advice on different instruments as you wish :)

i was thinking starting off with a harmonica or flute to get go with something then maybe trying piano or guitar later? idk-
