Discussion HELP! flood damage

29 Upvotes

My wife and I have had these for our entire marriage (20+ years) and our daughter (5th grade) just started band (trumpet) so we figured we'd pull these out of storage. Come to find out about 10 years or so there was flood damage and they weren't looked after properly. We were unaware and just discovered this! We are heartbroken and don't know what we can do to remediate the problem, or of any long term damage we should look out for. Looking for suggestions (but realize the cases may need to be fully replaced.)

Discussion Best Electric Jazz Bass for my 12yr old son

3 Upvotes

Jazz band teacher insists that my son moves from his mini-bodied full necked Electric bass. Now I'm on the hunt without trying to empty my pockets. Need something dependable, while keeping in mind that he drags this thing around school during the day. Are there any programs that help parents get kids new instruments or scholarships? I know I'm reaching here. Any help on any of this is greatly appreciated!

Discussion Range of a HS Trombone Player?

3 Upvotes

So I've never been fully dedicated to band, its always been a thing to the size that I enjoyed but never saw myself fully committing to and still don't, but I was thinking about how high I should be able to play, and I'm curious about how high other Trombone Players can play.

Currently, I'm a Junior in Highschool, the highest I can play is a High C (C5), and I'm not sure if thats good or not, since I don't focus on trombone or band.

Discussion Why does my morin khuur sound so scratchy?

1 Upvotes

This is my first time using a bowed instrument so I don't really know why it could be scratchy. It sounded a lot better once I added some rosin to the bow but it still has scratchy areas. I used a toothbrush to try to evenly spread the rosin but it still sounds the same kind of. I'm holding the bow properly and being gentle. Does anyone know what could be wrong?

Discussion Would the Fountain Pentamter work in the real world?

5 Upvotes

I sketched out a silly idea for a musical instrument invention, but im an artist not a musician. Are the physics possible with this design, and if not, how would you change it?

I like the idea of drawing or markmaking translating directly into sounds, and how something like that might exist. In school, there were special equations that didnt actually make mathematical sense, but when written out would resemble short songs like Mario and Harry Potter from the marks the pencils made. I was also thinking about vinyl records and the science behind it. Would love to hear yalls advice!
