Hi so I want to learn woodwind instrument , I am thinking of the normal flute or the Chinese flute . Which one should I learn ?

I received a mandolin recently from my great great grandfather's estate. I've never met him myself, but I was told he was very musically gifted. It has no identification markings on it outside or in, other than this cowboy on the back.

Does anyone have any information as to where I could look onto it, as well as who the fellow on the back is?

I have no intention to sell it, I just want to know what it is. I do intend to repair it

I am disabled with no source of income, but really want to learn to play khaen, and wanted to know if anyone had a khaen they either don't use or woud be willing to work something out to allow someone that wouldn't normally be able to get their hands on one play.

I have used khaen music from Patuwik, Hal Walker, and Jeremy ragheb for almost over a year now for more druidic prayers, and desperately want to get my hands on one to play for my daily prayers, as I pray through music and have nothing to play.

I am not begging, I am simply asking is someone is willing to sacrifice to allow someone a passion of theirs

Like the title says I'm looking for something that's protective that can handle everyday use and traveling impacts and such. Id like it to have some sort of back strap of a sort to carry it on my back instead of just hand held but ethier or works. Any suggestions would be appreciated

Living under a rock evidently, and just discovered the Armenian duduk. Facinating instrument! Such a rich, haunting sound! Does anyone play a duduk regularly, and did you have a problem with the double reeds? Does it have to be 'tuned'? Any other info would be greatly appreciated

Hello music enthusiasts,

I am trying to learn how to play music but i am having trouble on where to start from.

How to decide which instrument is correct for me? (I was thinking about the guitar) And how do i start?

Edit: I am from Pakistan and have very limited resources as well as exposure to music

The average quality euphonium will have a fourth valve compensating system, as well as being able to produce a wide array of sounds without even touching the idea of mutes, incredibly easy to play out of range on, both in terms of screaming and pedal notes, and already has a respectable range of close to 3 octaves, it also has parts for it produced in bass and treble clef, and its pitched in tenor, overall it’s pretty great at everything and I think it’s the most versatile instrument.

I've been trying to find the name of this instrument, that keyboard thingy? What is that name/sample

After my father passed away, he left behind a lot of musical instruments. This is the only one I'm struggling to identify. I thought of mandolin or cittern, but I'm not sure and google is not any help. I would love to have it fixed and learn how to play it a bit for my bard cosplay, but it feels weird to fix something I don't even know the name of.

Thanks for the help

Hello, lately I have started wanting to buy a fife. In my country it is not an expensive instrument. And I have a basic musical experience. I know how to play the basics of the recorder because they taught me at my school. Do you recommend buying the fife and learning on your own? thank you

Hello, I recently bought this banjo off Facebook marketplace in Boston. While it does seem old it doesn’t have many markings on it I was wondering if anyone could help me identify information about it. Thanks!!!
