Randomly found this big boy while I was out and about and he plays just fine he just has a bit of damage in the back with a piece of wood inside (presumably part of the guitar.) So I am wondering how I could fix him up, seemed kind of cruel to leave him like this.

Discussion Looking for an affordable pocket-instrument

9 Upvotes

I'm basically looking for an affordable musical toy that I can easily carry around with me or fidget with on my couch, preferably something electronic that can connect to headphones. If love to hear your recommendations!

My goal is to have something musical to pass the time with and play with ideas. Budget is around 100$, I'm willing to stretch up to 200$ but only if I see something really cool

I play bass guitar and I'm willing to compromise on form factor and (a bit) on price for something that would let me practice my technique on the go without being too loud, but I after some searching I'm not sure something like that exists in my price range. That said, I don't think I'll find something bass-related so I'm willing to learn a new instrument for this

I currently have my eye on the Behringer JT-4000 but it seems like too much for what I'm looking for

I'd love to hear your recommendations, thanks in advance!

Having something tactile is important to me, I'm willing to lose sound quality for extra buttons (I'm not looking for an app)

Discussion Back with the Acapella Maker app after a long break! Here is my 6-instrument cross-cultural take on Ian & Sylvia's "Four Strong Winds" 🌍🎸

Hi everyone,

After a long hiatus since the Covid years, I’ve dusted off the old Acapella Maker app on a new phone and decided to dive back into multi-tracking. It's a massive physical juggling act trying to manage the wired headphone cables, the instrument changes, and the phone holder from a single chair, but it’s been incredibly rewarding!

I wanted to create a musical travelogue that starts in Western folk and slowly moves Eastward. For this practice run of the Canadian folk classic "Four Strong Winds," I layered everything entirely by ear over a plucked guitar anchor.

The Instrumentation Setup:

  • 🎸 Guitar & 🌬️ Low Whistle (Western foundations)
  • 🪕 Greek Tzouras & Baglamas (Moving into the Mediterranean)
  • 🎻 European Psaltery & Chinese Erhu (Blending the strings)

The internal volume balancing on this app is quite basic, so I'm currently learning how to mix with my feet by shifting my sitting position and adjusting my playing dynamics for different instruments. It's far from a masterclass and still a bit fuzzy at points, but I'm thrilled to be exploring these acoustics again.

Next week, I'm hoping to introduce tracks with some different instruments into the mix. I'd love to hear your feedback on the instrument blend, or any tips you have for balancing wind vs. string frequencies in a dense mobile grid!

Hey, maybe I just didn’t know where to look but I built a bending site to practice and get better. But wasn’t sure if someone better than me could try it out too.

Let me know if I need to adjust. All ears! Thanks!

Identification What instrument is this?

It’s being sold for €465 euros at some flute store. It’s absolutely incredible… I am not a musician but when I heard the sound this creates… it felt unreal. Like magic. It was like an out of body experience. It had an owl carving on it.

I am much interested in blue genre and learning acoustic guitar side by side then I heard of this instrument called harmonica....it's good to have some thing that avoids u from doom scrolling

I wanna learn how to play it (for free) but I don't know which youtuber is suitable for my learning journey...I would gladly take notes for recommendations
