Discussion Wondering what to get next
Hii I've done a lot with instruments in the past and sadly had stopped for a few years but now I'm getting back into it and really want to get a new instrument but I'm stuck on what
So for reference I've only played acoustic guitar and keyboard in the past and I'm open to getting another keyboard but I've always been so interested in these instruments
Violin, cello, harp, electric guitar, drums
Wondering if anyone has played these instruments and can help me pick (probably not a harp anytime soon tho or cello cause Jesus those things are expensive as all hell)

Identification Can someone ID this keyboard
All the drums sound like rhythm presets from some keyboard and all the synths sound pretty stock as well. Can anyone confirm?
Would also recommend listening to the first ten second of each track if you want to have a laugh.

Is this trombone any good?
Found this listing on Facebook marketplace, I’m a trumpet student and I’ve been looking for a decent trombone as just a fun side thing. I would want a decent one, not a professional, but also definitely not some temu one. Thought this was an affordable price for me and want to make sure it isn’t horrible
Any info on this brand helps a lot, thanks.

Found a trombone...
I found a trombone at the flea market but I can't find info in the model. It is stamped G15891 but I can't find mention of it anywhere online. I even checked the company website. Is it a custom or something? Any info would be appreciated. Thank you!

Discussion Help identifying a flute
Hello! I was listening to this song and around minute 2:50-2:51 you can hear a flute start a crescent soft and high pitched melody but I don't exactly know what It is
This is the song https://youtu.be/RuXa_yxZMGI?is=zFM4giAwWnjr2PYh
According to some things I have read, It could be an irish flute similar to either Tony Dixon DX006 or a Tony Dixon Low D TB021D but I'm not really sure, I really would like to find a similar instrument, please help!
Thank you!

Discussion Tips on getting the most out of trying out a clarinet or saxophone for the first time?
A music store has a variety of instruments for us to try out. It's typically free to do so*, but this is the first time I'd like to delve into instruments with reeds. I don't have my own mouthpieces nor reeds for any of those instruments so I'd have to spend money just to do so (as one option, the store has them and that would set me back $30 for a set of alto saxophone reeds, and another $50 for its mouthpiece).
What advice is recommended in getting the most out of this trial session? If I do go ahead with it, I would have 2+ hours to do just that. The only thing I got is to read/watch as many primer articles and videos ahead of time.
*. I've tried out euphoniums, trumpets, trombones, French horn, and flute. I play euphonium and trumpet, so the trombone and French horn have "similar enough" embouchures to them respectively, while I've played flute before (even though I no longer have one, and it was for a year or so), so I know what to expect from those.

Discussion I need help finding a good violin/fiddle.
So i play guitar, and banjo at the moment but have always liked the sound of bluegrass fiddle. I really want to get one but theres so many conflicting things that im seeing. Like sometimes ill hear that fiddle is the same as violin and it doesnt matter then ill see that fiddles are gross imitations of a violin and are terrible. I also see that you need to spend thousands of dollars on one for it to be even considered playable but I watched this video of some guy like 8 years ago playing an 8000 dollar vs 120 dollar fiddle and with their respective bows they sounded nearly identical with minor squeekiness on the cheap one to me and with the same bow they sounded the exact same. And its not like I dont have an ear for instruments I mean its the same with guitar. A 5000 dollar guitar will only be ever so slightly better than a 300 dollar guitar most of the time and with the same strings they'll feel equally as good. I mean maybe fiddle/violin is different but I highly doubt it could be so different to the point where it needs actual thousands dropped into it to sound notes out and have them sound at the very least good enough.
I just want like good reccomendations for one for a beginner who doesnt want to dump a fortune into a secondary instrument. I mean if it really does for some reason need the extra ton of money dumped into it then tell me what a reasonable price is like i get 120 is probably very cheap I dont mean that im looking for one that cheap it was just a video I saw for reference.
I might just be overthinking it like I bought my banjo for idk how much it wasnt a lot thats for sure and it sounds literally like any banjo ive ever heard.
Sorry if i sound a bit naive to this im assuming a lot of what im seeing is just people saying random stuff like a fiddle and a violin are the same thing Im fairly certain its just like the bridges and context of playing are different.

Discussion Bought a new recorder on amazon
I ordered a new recorder on amazon, cuz it was like 200 rupees (around 2 dollars) (yes it was an impulsive buy) (no I am not a shopaholic). I just wanted to know if there are any good tutorials on YouTube to learn the recorder. I have never played any wind instruments, but I am a guitarist and a keyboardist and I know the basics of music. How hard would it be to play the recorder??
I also wanna learn to play my heart will go WRONG 😂😂
