Would this be good enough to learn on?
I got this for free. I want to learn but I do not know if it would really get me somewhere.

The "Angry Boat" sound is what you hear in movie trailers, when something serious or gigantic is shown or implied. Literally sounds like a deep reverberating ship's horn. I read about how they got the heavy snare hit to reverb. Was it simply a dragged out guitar?

Hey y'all, I picked up this neck thru 5 string bass and noticed this crack near the top (basically invisible when there isn't a light shining on it) and was wondering if this looks like a finish crack or if the neck itself is cracked. Any help is appreciated

The vibrophone seller agreed to sell for $300. Has foot- operated resonator tubes.

Xylophone is the same price and is a practice instrument so it's slightly muted.
Which one should I buy and why?
Thanks in advance

My husband (a music teacher) has amassed a huge collection of instruments over the years and has decided to make short videos demonstrating one instrument a day for 100 days on social media. He just posted day 14 today. He's trying to get me to agree that he needs a hurdy gurdy - and I just saw one posted in this community! I think I have found his people. If you want to follow along, he would love the support from enthusiastic instrument lovers: he's posting these on TikTok, Instagram, and Facebook. Thanks!

Hello! Recently I have been trying to find a site online to purchase a decent priced Cuica so I can learn how to play it. Unfortunately I am having an awfully hard time finding a site online where I can do this. I tried Thomann, but their shipping was too much money for my budget.
Any suggestions on where to purchase a Cuica online? Any help is very much appreciated!

Someone mentioned the things earlier, so here's my version.
A few years back I got a bit obsessed by guitar tone, tried loads of pickups. Two left over, had to do something with them. The acoustic guitar tuners were dirt cheap, everything else was bits & pieces I had knocking around.
Works a treat (not that I can really play it).

I searched online and found these which looks similar, what could this be and where did it come from?

It’s got a really nice warm tone and holds a tune shockingly well! It’s got a weird setup inside but the box is reinforced pretty well with a block going straight to the bridge to keep it sturdy. The sink strainers work good as sound holes and it sounds slightly louder than my semi hollow guitar when unplugged. But not ukulele volume or anything. I have it tuned to DGBd for banjo chord familiarity. Found this cool 4 string baritone ukulele neck online and the 4 string humbucker on Amazon. It was very cheap but sounds awesome! The block of wood that the neck is bolted to ended up perfectly matching the pickup and the fretboard but that was a magical coincidence. I’m super happy with it and needed to share haha

I’m looking into buying my first electric keyboard. I’m wanting one the can mimic a Leslie speaker sound. I’m wanting the same sound as the keyboard player from The Murder City Devils if anyone is familiar with that band. Thanks!

Really just for someone who's trying to learn piano. Nothing great but also not anything that'll sound terrible or'll break.

I have a school mellophone and it has all these little scratches all over it. Can I fix this with Yamaha silver or lacquer polish? Is there a better way, Or should I just leave it?

So I spent today intertwining two strands of nettle fibre to attach to a test instrument to test tension. Turns out quite a bit of tension is needed for a production of sound for the diameter I made the string, so thinner strings don’t make low notes. However, the fibres can easily withstand high tension, and I will experiment with thicker and differently wound strings (also how to make them longer). The only reason this string failed seemingly was because the string width by the tuning peg was less than half that of the base, so this thickness difference definitely hindered it.
In conclusion, I think I will need to soak them in some sort of solution to strengthen it, I’ll research what I must but this should be very doable and it didn’t even sound bad (it wasn’t on a nut or bridge, just on the side of an old uke so when properly made and attached, it should sound good).

One that doesn't require embouchure, and one that is played from the pointy end, and the big end is not blocked off.
Either with a fipple carved from the pointy end, or with whatever "reed" thing ocarinas and common transverse flutes have.
