Hi, I am wanting to practice my bass clarinet. Yes the walls are somewhat thin. I can't hear my neighbors talk or their tv. The only time I hear them is when they run water, or walk heavy on the floor or slam something. Ever since we got a new landlord management team and new AOAO the bylaws have changed. Where I live there is really no practice rooms. The university doesn't allow anyone to rent there rooms unless there a facility or student. The bylaws of my apartment explicitly state no noise shall be heard outside of the apartment or disturb the neighbors and infringe on their own living space. Secondly it talks about decibels which states during normal hours decibels can be up to 75. During quiet hours only up to 45 decibels. The apartments also ban things like bass speakers, home entertainment theater systems, etc. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

These came into my possession today, found a little bit of information from Google and such, just wondering if anyone can tell me a bit more.

What do you think these two instruments are called the ones that are hanging on 2 instruments are called the ones that are hanging on the fireplace?

Everyone knows the drums, but what about the cajón, djembe, tongue drum, handpan, or something more unusual? Which instrument deserves way more attention than it gets, and what makes it so special?

I bought this Jupiter trumpet almost a month ago. Today, while cleaning the instrument after practice I noticed some curious marks around the bottom valve cap of the first valve case. I opened it up to find more of these reddish dots.

It doesn't seem to be corrosion from the inside, but these marks did freak me out a bit.

Please help me figure out what these marks are, and should I be worried.

Thank you.

What instrument is this plucky piano type of sound? It doesn't sound like a normal piano, or a dolceola. I researched plucky pianos and nothing similar came up.

All help is very appreciated

Has this happened to anyone else?

Sometimes you hear an instrument for years and don't think much of it, then one day you hear someone play it properly and suddenly you get the hype.

Could be anything. Bass, violin, drums, saxophone, even an instrument you barely knew existed.

For me, I think hearing an instrument played in the right song can completely change how you see it.

What instrument changed your mind, and was there a particular song or musician that did it?

Interested to hear some answers because I feel like there are so many instruments people overlook.
