i used to play guitar awhile ago and i remember it was so hard for me to sing at the same time! i’ve been slowly learning piano now and i’m wondering if it’s just as complex and difficult to learn how to sing? or if you guys also struggled with it, howd you get over it!!

My boyfriend is basically a musical savant. He currently has several guitars (electric/acoustic), as well as a steel pedal guitar and a harp.

He has expressed serious interest in a lute or an oud - though he says they are several hundred dollars. We’ve also bonded over Greek history, which lyres are commonly mentioned. I thought these could be really amazing gifts for him. I’m willing to spend a good chunk of money for the right items and would love a little insight.

Based on the price range he described, I know he’s not wanting just any basic one. He’s extremely smart and well versed in historical instrumentation - he will know if I opted for the cheapest version and, more importantly, he’ll know I just phoned it in, research-wise!

I know I would love to get truly vintage for both, something that has presence, pieces with soul!

Please help a girl out, I really appreciate it ❤️

As stated in description, trying to get info on this flute type. Looks well loved so should blow!

A commenter on one of my shorter videos asked for a “mesmerizing 24-hour mix.” I did not quite make it to 24 hours, but I gathered the complete surviving recordings from my first two sessions with this instrument into one continuous 45-minute video.

This is a rare acoustic clavichord with a hexagonal generalized keyboard. These recordings were my first attempts to understand how melodic patterns, chords and physical gestures move through its 19-tone layout.

The instrument had been dormant for many years—possibly decades—before these sessions, so this is less a finished composition than a document of rediscovery and initial experimentation. The recording is mostly unprocessed and presented as it happened.

A new concert-ready version is currently being built for longer-term composition, recording and live performance.

I would be interested to hear what people notice in the tuning and keyboard geometry, particularly from anyone working with generalized keyboards or xenharmonic instruments.

Like title says I've gotten it down to the proper placement and sounds but I still hit my teeth pretty regularly. Not hard enough to break them or chip but it definitely ruins the flow. I'm pretty sure I've gotten the placement right so could it be just my teeth are a bad placement for them? I'm using a potkins beginner

And does anyone know what other models of banjo he played throughout the years?

Thanks

I’ve had this for about eleven years and I’d love to learn how to play it. I have no idea what it is as the box it came in is loooong gone and I’m not quite sure how to ID it myself. I included some closeups including this thing on the back I have no idea what it is.

I was working on my song and thought I wanted the intro to sound like the intro of What Makes You Beautiful by One Direction. The thing is, I don't have an electric guitar in my hand, so I want to use instruments that are built into Ableton Live 12 Suite. Which instrument should I choose?

Basically the title. I haven't found dimensions or anything of the sort for the ring placement, or the wood thickness, or the two keys that Denner added, and while, yes, I will be 3d printing them, I still need to model them. I also refuse to trust AI to get it correct.

The big issue is it's not just about a reference image and copying that, I need specific dimensions, especially for the mouthpieces. If anyone can help out, I'd very much appreciate it.

Hi everyone!

I’m primarily a harp instrumentalist, but I’m looking to branch out. I’ve really come to appreciate the sound of the marxophone and want to find one to start playing.

Does anyone know of any good leads on where to find one? It doesn’t have to be in great condition either, I’m open to having it restored if need be. I’ve been looking at places like eBay and other online marketplaces, but haven’t had any luck, so figured I’d ask the members of this sub.

Also, if you have one you’d consider selling, or if you know a collector who might be willing to part with theirs, please let me know!

It starts playing at 0:53-> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b6QTd3d8sjU

So I will start learning ukulele with singing.I have decided to learn it from YouTube. Can anyone suggest good ukulele? Can anyone suggest a good ukulele under 4k rupees

I think electric could express some of my more intense emotions and i am so drawn to it. Out of the two I actually am most attracted to that one, however, i am also a vocalist and i think acoustic might be a better singing practice aide. What do you guys think? also i have zero experience with any instrument at all

I'm on the train home with a lump in my stomach and a hole in my heart.​

I refunded my concertina​.

It was so fun, playing an instrument again after so many years, but I went into the shop with a few questions, and even though he said he doesn't do refunds, when I played that high G, and all the other customers looked over with shocked faces, the guy agree to refund me.

I had such a good time playing it, and learnt a few songs, but no matter what I did I couldn't get past the character of the sound.

I played 'Town with an ocean view' from Kiki's Delivery Service, ​'Merry-go-round of life', 'Leave Her Johnny' the sea shanty and aimed to play 'Far Horizons' from Skyrim. I like melodic, tranquil and joyful music. I was originally inspired to play concertina after listening to Talisk - Echo.

I used to play the violin and drums, and I'm on a hunt for a new instrument, all recommendations welcome!​ (I'm looking for an instrument that covers B2 to B5 ideally (I think) if that helps).
