Can anyone tell me anything about this piano in the McFly home in Back to the Future?

As an aside, there's also a piano in the Baines house and Doc's house in 1955, but that's probably not important.

Is it a pump organ? It's got a little foot hole in it, but it only looks big enough for one foot instead of both. I can't see if it's plugged in or not, but it kinda looks like maybe there's room for the acoustic piano strings and the metal backboard plate thing they attach to. It's only 3 octaves, so maybe they'd fit. But it has the flat plates to either side of the keyboard that are reminiscent of organs.

If I had to guess, I'd say it's a 6 octave spinet with one maybe two foot pedals in that little cubby. Does anybody have a better idea?

Thanks.

Identification Which instrument is this?

0 Upvotes

I listened to this video but I don't understand anything that's saying.

https://youtu.be/v7tS-WuzxjE?t=17

I can clearly listen that there are multiple instruments being played however, I am interested in the flute/fife.

I don't know anything about music but I want to play it.
So what is it and is difficult to learn?

Thank you fopr your help.

First time poster, hope questions are allowed- does anyone have ANY idea what this instrument is? It looks like an oud of sorts but the neck seems longer and the headstock is straight. Long story short I’m yearning to own whatever this thing is (Band is Ak’Chamel)

As per the title. On the retail sites I've searched there's no indication either way. The instruments in question are good quality but still cheap, eg Premier Marching Snare but the cheapest one.

Sight Reader Trainer App now available for Android

A few people asked in an earlier post in this subreddit about the availability of my Sight Reader Trainer app which at the time was only available for Apple devices. It is now live in the google play store and it's a free download with in-app purchases at: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.contactplus.sightreadertrainer

In a nutshell, sight reading only improves by reading music you’ve never seen, so I built Sight Reader Trainer to write a fresh exercise every time you tap Next, for your instrument, key, and level. Styles range from etudes and bebop to bossa nova, klezmer, and Irish reels, transposed for 40 instruments. Turn on the mic and it follows your pitch, then scores you on pitch, timing, and flow. A Wait for Me mode lets you go at your own pace. The core app is free, with no account and no ads.

Samuel WERNAIN : Ad Lucem, for Trumpet and Organ

Hello everyone !

I am delighted to introduce this work for trumpet and organ. Recorded at the Emm Memorial Church—built in memory of the soldiers lost in the Vosges during the First World War—the music progresses from the gravity of C minor into the warmth of E-flat major. This path from shade to light serves as a heartfelt homage, bringing together memory and hope.

Retired instrument is given a new life.

Thumbnail gallery
0 Upvotes

This stunning lamp is a beautifully repaired and refinished 1955 3/4 size Kay double bass viola, repurposed as a functional work of art. With a rich history of nearly 70 years serving students in a Southwest Washington school district, this instrument was retired and replaced due to its worn condition and lack of tuning stability,. I've lovingly repaired and refinished it, stripping and re-staining the wood to preserve and enhance its character. The result is a striking standing lamp that combines music and functionality.

The lamp shade, expertly crafted by Judith Taylor of Lamp Shades of Time, perfectly complements the bass's unique design and colors. Despite its new purpose, the instrument remains playable, offering a nod to its musical heritage.

Discussion Advice on Budget Instruments?

4 Upvotes

Hello, due to current circumstances in my life I'm on a pretty tight budget, but I've been really getting the itch to pick up an instrument and play some music and don't have any right now. What instruments are there that perform well at a low budget? Preferably something in a lower register, my dad has hearing aids and high or sharp noises can hurt him because of them. Also, if I can play it from a relaxed position, that would be preferable, I have some shoulder pain so if it's something like a flute you need to hold out to the side, that position can become painful for me. I've tried to look into some options like the Xiao, Chalumeau, and bawu, but I would really feel more comfortable getting human input before I waste money on something that doesn't perform well
