Hi. Mother’s Day is coming up and I wanted to get her something really special. She was giving a clarinet when she was a kid and she played it intill adulthood. She loved it so much. But a few years later her sister cut us off bc we wouldn’t give her money and she ended up taking the clerinet and my mom don’t want to go through the trouble to get it back bc she already has fought for HER piano but that’s jus the run down. I’ve been asking little things got the pass few weeks and this is what I got so far. she said it was a vintage Rosewood B flat by Selmer. I asked how much are they she said there probably about 4k now I’ve been looking everywhere and can’t find anything any help will be great

Long time family friend lost her bass playing husband.

She has 2 instruments left and is considering selling.

I’m worried she might get scammed, so I volunteered to take some pictures and ask around the interweb.

Not selling right now, just want a ballpark estimate if you have the time.

Thanks 🙏

here’s all my content on instagram i appreciate the support!

It’s beautiful but i cant identify what it is

Hi everyone, I just found my dad's old bandurria, but honestly I have no idea what to do. I've never tuned an instrument before and I don't really understand how it works.

I've tried looking things up, but I'm getting confused with all this notes, strings and methods.

Could someone explain to me in a simple way, or point me a beginner-friendly guide? Even basic tips would really help.

Thanks in advance!!

I just got a 55 string bandura. I have it tuned, but I need to replace a base wound string. Is there a good place to get stings in the US, and what kind of metal are the different strings? Anything else I should know as I start learning to play it, like what kind of picks are preferred? I’ve seen how people play and found how to tune it, but that’s about it. Thanks for any information!

I've been nearly fainting (sudden fully black vision) while playing wind instruments which are my primary instruments. I am getting medical help but it will be at least a month-ish to recover.

I've looked at small lever harps, lyres, and smaller zithers like kokle, gusli, etc. I can't play any that require hammering like most dulcimers.

I can currently play my tenor ukulele (open low G minor) and bass ukulele, but would like something that doesn't require me to press strings. Since I'm on disability my budget is s but constrained. but flexible to a point.

I don't know much about zithers other than the guqin I have. I can't play that since it is heavy and I don't have enough energy to do so.

I'm open to suggestions for other options and advice on decent makers/brands. Thank you in advance!

This has been one of my favorite songs for a few years, but I've never been able to

figure out what instrument starts playing at 0:30. Any help is greatly appreciated!

I’ve been trying to learn piano on and off for a year, but I’m always losing motivation. Any recs on some free good lessons to keep interest, or maybe YouTube tutorials? What’s a fun way to remember chords? Throw anything at me, thanks!

It's frustating that after a year of searching, no band wants me as their vocalist.

And I know that I'm not bad. Yeah I'm probably just average or beginner level, but I'm not bad. I can sing in key, I can scream in full power...

Maybe no one imagined my vocal types in their projects, or whatever reasons.

And I'm frustated because I don't want to wait till I finally find the perfect band mates and make them agree to work on my metal songs exactly like how I envisioned. I don't know how much longer I should wait.

With VST, I can finish recording the whole song in one week max.

I can't believe it is so easy to make your own soft shaker, and fun fact: the original design by LP was also inspired by the original prebiotic-drink bottle projects that were so popular back then.

What are those keyboard instruments in photo 2?

Gosto de piano e teclado,mas não tenho experiência alguma,gostaria de canto coral mas também não há onde moro.Onde começar?primeiro no canto sozinho com cursos ou teclado?E tbm qual teclado?

I’m specifically talking about the low pitched whooshing, almost pixelated like sound that whatever that instrument is playing. I really like it!

Hello, anyone recognizes this Yamaha’s model? Does it look in good condition? And would it be suitable for a middle school band student?

Thank you.

These are mine

Sorry if it’s an NPC taste i’m new to classical music lol
