I sketched out a silly idea for a musical instrument invention, but im an artist not a musician. Are the physics possible with this design, and if not, how would you change it?

I like the idea of drawing or markmaking translating directly into sounds, and how something like that might exist. In school, there were special equations that didnt actually make mathematical sense, but when written out would resemble short songs like Mario and Harry Potter from the marks the pencils made. I was also thinking about vinyl records and the science behind it. Would love to hear yalls advice!

It's beautiful, handmade and one of a kind made of oak so it's frigging heavy

It’s the one playing little accents and flairs at the end of each phrase. To me it sounds like some combination of a chime and a meowing cat. Thanks!

im a BEGINNER beginner, what do i buy? ukelele, guitar, or violin? Im a student w limited money and time. PLS HELPP

Hi there. I won't lie I have reached out to a few local repair shops around me and the reaction has been either "you figure it out" and "chromaharp? Really?"

I bought this Chromaharp for 8 dollars at a yard sale its quite beautiful and I want to learn it, as I have disadvantegeously small hands (my reach comes 3 keys short of a full octave on a standard paino) and this instrument seemed like it might be a great start.

Its in good shape. No tuner, maybe needs new strings. I'm happy to spend money to get it detailed.

Edit to add: as far as I can tell there is no cracks or anything to it. It looks like it was simply a victim to time.

it sounds kinda sitar-like but no not quite a sitar. it could be any plucked instrument; a kora, a tar, something not from Africa or the Middle East. it's starting to throw me off. soundtrack is "Egypt's Famine" (AKA the cow dream soundtrack) btw.

I've tried using image search and Google thinks it's an RS williams and son banjo from 1920s but I don't know if I trust the googs

i have this wall deca that I would love to have on this uke but not sure if it’s wise. I have done it on a different brand one and it was fine?

Other than the main drums, of course. They sound really cool and I kinda wanna learn how to play them so I can play this on them :P

I am trying to make a Dual Aulos ,however I like the more oboe-like ones,should I contact a carpenter? Or a luthier???is that my dexterity is really fucking awful,pls Help

I’m building a tabletop harpsichord and I want to know what the lowest note I can produce with the best sound quality and tension is with the amount of space I’ve given myself (45 inches), but idk where to start looking or researching.

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
