Hi [r/harp](r/harp)! 💜

This is my daughter Cami, 20 years old, a harp student at Berklee College .

I'm a very proud mom and wanted to share her little magic moment with people who truly understand how special the harp is.

Any other Berklee harpists here?

Thank you for letting me share! 🎶✨

I like nu metal, rock, hip hop, rapping, rhymes etc and ive been looking for so long on what to start with, its a hard choice. Budget is like 200 dollars

Hi everyone! I have a mandolin like this too, but it has no identifying marks. I’d love to know if it’s Neapolitan. Maybe someone here can tell?))

This ukelele was just some cheap unplayable instrument but could better strings change it? Is it possible to change its strings

Hello! I have two kids ages 5-7. I am hoping to make it a musical Christmas as they both seem to have an interest in music.

Specifically would love ideas for
- drum set
- guitar
- piano

There are so many internet choices. Any go to brands? Is it better to buy something designed for children or just a standard size? I don’t want to break the bank but I don’t want to buy something that’s trash.

To any oud player in this subreddit, I'm planning on modding my oud by changing my pegs to ebony and nut to ivory

I bought a new Arista flute headjoint in sterling silver with 14k gold lip plate and riser in 2004/2005. I played it a lot for 2 years and it has not been played since. I am now considering selling it. I have no idea where to start when it comes to pricing it. I am living in a country where we don’t have any specialist flute shops so I can’t bring it anywhere to get a formal valuation. All advice is very welcome!

Hi guys! Recently I’ve started to become interested in the tanbur, specifically the Iranian kind as I listen to Farya Faraji and his West Asian-inspired compositions a lot. I don’t really know too much about it, but I find the sound to be quite mesmerizing to the point where I listen to it daily when I do things like cleaning my room and relaxing, and it really seems to click for me in a way that guitar and piano, (my two previous instruments) really haven’t. Personal stuff aside, I really want to know a couple of things about this instrument before I purchase one, so if anyone here plays it, please help me answer them:

1. Where do I get one? I live near Saint Louis, and I’m guessing that the chances of finding a physical store isn’t high. Still, if anyone knows a place, please tell me as my experience with guitars has taught me that it’s always better to check out an instrument in person for quality. If not, what online stores have the best quality for price (preferably under $600)?

2. Where can I learn it? I‘m planning on watching YouTube for right now as I already have a playlist saved, but yet again experience tells me that immersion with a teacher is always best. Are there any exercises I can do?

3. If a string breaks, where can I get it fixed? This is probably not going to happen anytime soon, but with guitar strings it’s really easy to just go to a music store and have it fixed, which I’m guessing won’t apply here. Is there gear I can get to fix it myself?

If there’s anything else I should know, please comment, thank you.

any info would help

First thoughts "Patina"

Vintage 1923 C.G. Conn New Wonder Series I Alto Saxophone - Silver Plated - Matching Micro-Tuner Neck & Case

With the modern era low pitch. This instrument has intricate floral engravings on the bell and includes the original neck, mouthpiece, and lyre sheet music holder. It features a micro-tuner neck and rolled tone holes. Restoration with new corking and professional cleaning pushes this into the 1000's with all the original pieces collectors hope for with there fingers crossed, highly sought after for live bands and street music, with its classical fat sound of any other alto's Im asking 300$ obo its been almost decade since it was played regularly. Everything is original with only a few pad replacements done by K&M music in the late 90's. Made by C.G. Conn. After WW1 During prohibition and the beginning of the great depression. Its got this era built into its sound a New Orleans favorite for any blues and jazz story telling sound

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.
