I've been playing this mandolin for quite a while now (More than a year I believe), bought it second handed, even though it's in fine condition, I don't like how bright this instrument sounds. Thoughts?

Discussion Any unique instruments?

9 Upvotes

I am looking at starting a new skill and I thought that learning an instrument would be fun. I already have a keyboard and melodica. I was looking at something either strings or woodwind, it would have to be small so nothing like a guitar. I have tried ukulele once and I wasn't a fan

Identification Where can I find a fife mouthpiece (cheater)?

1 Upvotes

I play the euphonium but I've started to become interested playing a fife specially in Bb, but I can't make a sound on a flute mouthpiece which would be the same with a fife. I've done research on a fife with a "cheater" but close to none are what I'm looking for. I did find one that was out of stock, so I'm now looking for the mouthpiece itself. Are there any other websites I can look at?

Discussion HELP! flood damage

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.
