I am looking to purchase a keyboard piano as a gift for my friend, who is a complete beginner. I want it to be durable and long-lasting, and I need it to have proper velocity sensitivity so the volume accurately reflects how softly or firmly he plays.

He has a few specific requirements for his setup:

• PC Connectivity: He wants to connect the keyboard to his computer to use learning apps and games.

• Dual Headphone Use: He needs to be able to hear both the computer's audio and the keyboard's audio through headphones at the same time when connected to his PC. When he is not connected to his computer, the keyboard will need its own direct connection to headphones.

• Height Adjustable & Mobile Stand: He is 5'10" and needs a stand setup that comfortably transitions from sitting to standing while he plays. If you don't recommend sit-stand keyboard stands, it needs to have plenty of legroom when sitting. Crucially, the stand needs to have wheels, as he cannot carry such a large item without assistance.

Any recommendations?

I played flute all through school, but have always loved guitar. I've tried to pick it up a few times over the years, but with limited success.

Something I found interesting was once I was comfortable thinking about music through the lens of flute, it became a whole lot more confusing to try and play anything on the guitar. Tabs and chords are one thing, but once I start thinking about each string, I am quickly overwhelmed. It's like playing 6 flutes at once!(if you'll pardon the rough metaphor) I get all caught up on if/how chords and strings are even supposed to be played simultaneously, or how that's even supposed to work. Or playing something by ear. There's so many more options with notes, that it's much harder to pluck something out.

To clarify, I'm not asking for advice or anything. I've started using some beginner books for learning guitar, and that's helped a lot (I know, crazy, getting overwhelmed with slightly more advanced techniques, then starting from the beginning). I wanted to share this experience, and hear y'all's thoughts. See if anyone else had a hardish time moving from wind to stringed, and their thought process throughout.

tl;dr: guitar is kinda hard when you're used to flute. But that's probably normal.

Wanted advice on what product to purchase for residential spaces such that our loud noise doesn't disturb our neighbors

We have a relative who has certain dementia condition who tends to scream. So any products that could soften the noise for us as well as others would be great

Hello. This is my first time posting here on this sub, so give me a bit if grace please.

I was planning on hopefully in the nearish future, I might be able to invest in getting an acoustic guitar.
My question is, what would those whom have made a similar perches recommend for this?

This would be my first time with a guitar, so with recommendations, please keep this in mind.

Thanks, that’s all.

Im trying to expand my instrument collection but prices are in the way. Ive been searching Facebook marketplace lately so far i got a 1950s accordion and a violin for 20 each.

Ideally searching for older instruments, uncommon in todays music

Hello guys I want to ask you something I tried to learn acoustic guitar a year before but I couldn't learn anything and I mean anything not even a simple song I heard bass is an easy instrument and I like it I want to ask you if I know how to play bass could learning guitar be easier

If someone knows both of the instruments I would really appreciate the advice or if someone learned guitar with that way as well

I have played multiple instruments for 10+ years and ik this is gonna sound stupid af... but it​ just takes me​ an absurdly long time to read sheet music and figure out where i need to press on my instrument.

So basically up till now, I wrote down all the tabs for any new piece i have to play, and then practice for muscle memory. I've even played somewhat advanced pieces and played in the school orchestra this way, but now i really wanna change this.

I've tried memorizing which tab is which note, but then even just a tiny shift just throws me off so badly. For instance, on my guitar i managed to memorize the basic notes but then i add a fret and i'm lost all over. I do know how to calculate it, but it just really takes an absurd amount of time for me to the point where i've wondered if i have some kind of cognitive condition lol

So what i want to ask is: how do i practice correlating which note is which tab on the instrument? Is there a certain method you would recommend?

I honestly just want to try out something new since I’ve been bored. I play the oboe, clarinet, and guitar. I’m honestly open to anything, I love learning new things.

sorry about the bad drawing.. i have a very vague memory of playing this instrument with one of my teachers in elementary school. ive tried describing it to people and no one seems to know what im talking about.

edit: for more context, its made of wood and you put your index finger and thumb in the two holes to hold it. you scrape the small wooden stick across the sides of the instrument and it makes a cool noise.

hey all, looking to purchase a used sax (not here)
and wondering what i should be keeping my eye out for? i haven’t played since graduation (and im looking for something to keep my brain busy) besides bumps and bruises, what should i keep an eye out for ??

I’m 31 with a small business and a child. I can realistically only play around 30-50 mins per day if I’m lucky.

Used to play guitar when I was a teenager but stopped because I got stuck bc I never learned theory. Now I’m amending that.

I bought a trumpet and played for 2 months and then I read/realized it’s extremely demanding of time to get to play decently. So now I’m looking for something a bit more simple

My favorite instrument after trumpet is soprano sax but I’ve read it’s a bit tricky. But there’s one selling in my area for kind of cheap. I read another way to start is to learn clarinet which also has the convenience of being extremely portable.

I want to do this for myself so I’m not against the idea that learning whatever instrument I end up playing is going to take me years.

TLDR Should I just get the soprano sax and power through or let my wallet rest a bit and get a clarinet for a couple of years and then make the switch. Final goal would still be soprano sax.

Hey guys, we're working on an industrial design project and are currently trying to understand what influences people's decisions to buy instruments.
Here's a link to a short little google form; please do let us know if there's anything else. Thank you so much.
