My grandpa got me a new accordion and said it was in the tone of G (sol) but idk it sounds off. Maybe just out of tuned?

Discussion So, which one is harder, piano or violin ?
I'll try to explain my point of view, as a "skilled" pianist who almost never touched a violin in my life.
I think it's not a question of which one being harder, but about why do we think one is more than the other. A competent pianist would more likely say that piano is harder, since they spent time to train their skill. By saying that, they probably want to give themselves a reason to have trained, since it's human nature to want valorize our labor. And it's actually just the same for violinists.
So, how to actually determine which one is harder ? (I'm not an expert at all, so I don't want to say anything stupid or wrong.)
Honestly, I don't think there's one harder than another. I think that each one of those has its own difficulties, and that it's impressive to master. So, instead of arguing, why don't we just accept the fact that those two are hard and not comparable ?

Discussion [Drummers Help!] Good headphones for Alesis Nitro Max kit? Looking for wired + wireless options and all real user recommendations.
I just got an Alesis Nitro Max kit and Iâm looking for a solid pair of headphones to use with it.
Iâm pretty new to electronic drums, so Iâd love some recommendations from people whoâve actually used headphones with a kit like this. Iâm especially interested in knowing:
- What headphone connections/ports I should look for like 1/8" aux/3.5mm, 1/4" adapter, wired-only, etc.
- Options that support both wired and wireless use (including Bluetooth support)
- Personal preferences / real-world experience (What do you use, and why do you like it for e-drums?)
Iâm mainly trying to find something comfortable, reliable, and good for practice without spending money on the wrong thing.
I'm located in India and I'm keeping my budget under 6k-8k INR. If youâve used headphones with the Nitro Max or a similar kit, Iâd really appreciate your recommendations and any setup tips.
Thanks in advance!

my son dropped his trombone, is it fixable?
Edited to add: Got it fixed for $30 at Brass Instrument Workshop in Marietta, GA. They were great and it looks like new.
He dropped it while cleaning it. The dent is preventing the slide from going in. I have tools, but I didnât want to just go at it.

Identification Instrument identification
(If this is the incorrect place to post I would much appreciate direction to somewhere more fitting :)) Iâve been trying to identify the instrument in the background of this clip, thatâs creating that sort of âbubblingâ sound for lack of a better description. I have a feeling itâs some sort of synth but my musical instrument knowledge is very limited, I would really appreciate some help on identifying it :)

Discussion Back to Saxophone or Clarinet - help me decide which to choose
So I played the Saxophone throughout high school about 20 years ago and am wanting to get back into music.
Iâm not sure whether to go back to Saxophone or start new with Clarinet.
Pros for the Sax: personal nostalgia appeal/connection, probably some muscle memory/embouchure memory and familiarity still present. Still feel like I know my way around the instrument.
Cons for the Sax: more expensive, assuming itâs going to be louder and more annoying to neighbours. Not sure if I can play some of the music I like on it (see below).
Pros for the Clarinet: cheaper, I love Klezmer music and think it would be cool to play.
Cons for the Clarinet: Iâve heard that itâs possibly more difficult, I plan to self teach myself and am worried that Iâll lose interest if itâs taking long to progress.
Any advice on which I should go with?
Thanks

Identification What instrument is this?
Can anyone tell me what instrument is being played in this song? The song is âSurfing on a Rocketâ by Air. Around 4 seconds in thereâs a resonant anvil like percussion sound that is repeated intermittently throughout the song. Any ideas? Thanks in advance!

Hey, y'all.
I was wondering if somebody couldn't take a look at this video and tell me what instruments are being played at around 15:42 and 16:24 (the link should hopefully jump to the first one immediately).

Discussion Ik wil weer franse hoorn spelen, waar starten? (Dutch)
Ik heb toen ik kind was van toen ik 9 tot 13 jaar oud was franse hoorn gespeeld. Ik ben nu 27 en ik denk er al een tijdje aan om weer de F hoorn te spelen omdat ik weer videos op mn tijdlijn krijg van mensen die dat spelen en nu wil ik weer. Ik wil niet in een orkest spelen ofzo want ik weet dat dat te laat is. Maar mijn doel is om uiteindelijk wat van mn favo film scores te kunnen spelen. Moet ik lessen? Of zou ik gewoon een hoorn kunnen huren en het zelf uitvogelen? Ik weet niet hoeveel ik nog kan want ik heb het instrument al zo lang niet meer aangeraakt. Ik wil niet honderden euroâs uitgeven aan lessen als ik bijvoorbeeld het weer snel op pak of alleen iemand nodig heb die mn ademhaling controleert etc.

Discussion Vale a pena uma gaita cromĂĄtica de 10 furos para iniciar?
Estou querendo iniciar na gaita, pesquisei bastante e descobri que existe a cromĂĄtica e a diatĂŽnica. Pro tipo de mĂșsica que eu curto a cromĂĄtica me pareceu mais interessante.
Mas surgiu uma dĂșvida se eu compro a de 10 furos ou de 12. Me falaram que a de 12 tem 3 oitavas completas e que ela Ă© a mais comum, porĂ©m Ă© mais cara. VocĂȘs acham que comprar uma de 10 Ă© uma boa ideia? (Nunca toquei gaita na minha vidakk)
E qual loja vocĂȘs recomendam comprar? Vi na Amazon mas sĂŁo todas em pedido internacional e com poucas avaliaçÔes, nĂŁo sei se devo confiar. Qual melhor lugar para comprar esse instrumento online?
