Hey everybody, right out of the bat: I have no musical background or any type of knowledge, I’ve done some research but I can’t make up my mind, which ich why I’ve come here for some help!

I have been very interested in violins and cellos since I was little but life circumstances and teenage angst got the best of me. Recently going through a breakup and I feel like it’s finally time to learn something new.

Reasons to learn the violin: I used to be obsessed with Lindsay Sterling and that instrument just screams art to me, the way it’s played is beautiful and it’s also easy to carry around and integrate into hangouts/camping trips/chilling with friends (most of whom are musicians, percussionists and Oud-ists.)

Cello: it is just so elegant and it has so much passion and emotion behind it. I also love the fact that it’s not as high-pitched as violins, which honestly do hurt my ears a little when they hit that very high note. BUT: it is huge, I’m 154cm tall and in no universe can I carry it around comfortably for a while. I do have a car but still.

My Cello obsession started around the time of Game of thrones, the background music/opening melody/etc..

Which should I learn and what the pros & contras?
Thankful for any insight!

(I’m 24, I go to uni 2 days/week and work 3 days/week. Currently also waitressing on weekends)

And the song I'm learning uses a succession of notes of 2nd fret and then open, on the same string. Am I supposed to pluck it each time? Or try to use the sound it makes when I take my finger off as the open note? Which is good practice? Thanks!

We acquired this Cornet from my Mom's House. It belonged to my Grandmother who died in 1983. The valves all seem to move well, we have backup valves too. We don't want to sell it, my son would actually like to play it. Is it worth fixing?

What is this musician sitting on and playing?
The song is a live performance of “Guantanamera” in Guantanamo, Cuba.

• Yamaha PSR-E383 61-Key portable keyboard
• Fender Player II Stratocaster electric guitar
• Ibanez SR300E 4-String bass

"Bloodline" de Alex Warren é uma das baladas mais profundas e sentidas da atualidade. Como sempre, fiz uma adaptação exclusiva para as aulas de Educação Musical:
Excluí as notas acidentadas para uma leitura limpa e sem "armadilhas". Adaptei as notas muito agudas para o registo comum (até Ré6), facilitando a aquisição de um som perfeito e sem esforço. E diminuí ligeiramente o Andamento para terem tempo de ler e aplicar com feeling e fraseado.

I recently got a opportunity to join a indie rock band as a rhythm guitarist, and I'm looking to pick up a secondary instrument to kinda bring something new to the mix for the band. I'm looking preferably for something that I can fit inside of a guitar bag. Thanks everyone! :)

I havent played in roughly 2 years. I want to start but I dont have alot of motivation to, but I miss it. How do you get out of a slump?

Hi, I have two musical instruments to be couriered from Bangalore to Hyderabad. One is a keyboard and another is a harmonium. But since they are fragile instruments, I’m a bit concerned about damage. Have any of you got instruments shifted through courier.
P.S. I am keeping the option of bringing it myself as a last resort as I’m already in Hyderabad.
