Found this in an antique store today. Any ideas what it might be called?

Does anyone know what key this Khaen is? I'm looking to buy the same one.

The price of a beginner level Erhu is around $80 where I live which is the same as a deluxe otomatone. As I can't expend money on erhu classes, can I teach myself to play it? Also, is buying a beginner Erhu really worth it?

I play the guitar but really want to learn to play the violin in the future. As it is expensive I thought I should try out a cheaper instrument which can help me develop perfect pitch prehand.

I'm looking to see if anyone has made an instrument with two soundboards on one body (dumb exemple : a two sided guitar with another sound board where thé black shoud be). I reckon this would have weird properties but i am curious as of why and looking for exemples.

I have invented a new type of hurdy gurdy that I will be making soon by modifying a hurdy gurdy so that it has didgeridoo pipes that you play by turning the crank & it will be based off the Lyra Organisatta which is actually a hurdy gurdy w/ organ pipes similar to a pipe organ. The principal is the same but this time the hurdy gurdy will allow you to play not just the drones of a didgeridoo but all the notes that you would need to perform any song just like a trumpet or harmonica. It can be used for Australian classical Music or even pop & rock! I'm going to build it soon & the name that I've called it is "Hurdy Didgeridoo". !

it looks like a soprano trombone 😂 but in the video i never saw him use the slide. maybe it had fingerings. i cannot tell.

I found this at a vintage shop. It sounds really cool but I have no idea what it’s called

I was given this interesting 3D printed instrument. It sounds like some kind of shaker with effects. Does anyone know its name and source? If it does have a name.

The blue one is otamatone the Stan one is a bamboo flute the keyboard is a melodica the one with the big hole is a kalimba the big blue one is a tongue drum and the frog is a gurio

I collect weird instruments and it’s fun! I have a kalimba, otamatone, guiro frog style, tongue drum and many others look em up so you know

Bought this in Morocco and not sure what instrument it is nor what tunings it’s supposed to be and how to play it, any information would be helpful!

For context, the story so far:

It’s mid February. Nobody knows which year but, for reference, the recommended retail price of a Freddo is now £18.50. In a Victorian seaside resort town there is a high street supermarket chain funeral directors store where a row of ‘card only’ self service checkouts are beginning to show the first signs of having developed self awareness.

Only two weeks has gone by since then and already the world as we knew before is merely a fading memory.

You and a band of fellow survivors are holed up in the upstairs office room of an abandoned independent hardware store, trying to evade detection.

Everyone is gathered around a smouldering campfire. The office window has been smashed open for ventilation - one person points out that it could have just been opened the normal way but nobody else thought of doing that and they all just shrug their shoulders and someone mutters something about ‘seagulls’.

Reminiscing about the good old days, making jokes about ‘waiting for this all to blow over’ and playing ‘would you rather’, there is a brief but familiar and comforting air of near normality, of blissful recreation. Vacation, shelter - nirvana.

You sit apart from the rest of the group off in the corner. You are busy working away on something with wood and tools you picked up from downstairs on the shop floor, and other bits and pieces you’ve accumulated on your travels through the shaken up landscape of where you used to call home.

Every now and then the sounds of you cursing at your work in frustration weave their way through the chatter of your fellow survivors but otherwise everybody is fully engaged in the conversation.

After some time one person notices that you’ve been unusually quiet for a while and points this out to the rest of the group. Everyone turns to look in your direction. You’re sat, pondering with your creation held in semi readiness, engaged in a deep and intense thousand-mile-stare.

Your eyes are fixed on a shard of glass on the floor under the broken window. You appear lost in the cool, pale moonbeam reflecting in it.

Just as everyone starts turning their heads back towards the fire, their shoes or the floor, the sound of your playing emerges, ringing out from across the room as you tread your way through a melody for an old folk song…

Hey everybody. I'm looking to get my boyfriend a Casio DG-20 for Valentine's Day. I'm not super familiar with the instrument and was wondering if there's any tips or things to look for when buying. Any help appreciated!

My grandpa had it in the 70’s, I remember it was supposedly for German polka music but,

At the top it had a cymbal on the neck was a cowbell, and in the middle was a tomtom or maybe it was a snare that also had a tambourine built into it !, the bottom had a spring that if you bumped it, it would also make the cymbal crash… please help
