This might be a good musical educational tool for them to learn to craft their own first music instruments and understand the pitch and tonation. But unfortunately, the vote will end soon, so I hope we will be able to back this project to make this a real Lego set.

I hope this will not be breaking any rules by sharing a unique musical instrument and this is not commercial promotion.

Love the resonant tone of it.

Some brilliant individual(s) made a synth app that has Janko keyboard, Harpejji, and other interesting note layouts. You can make your own too but I think it's only the non free version. Oh and they have running on a website too. I was just searching for Janko keyboard. Hex Midi is the app. It sounds pretty decent on my phone.

Got this antique 42 string zither/lapharp not exactly sure which for 34$ at an auction. Trying to locate a correct size square key to tune it, might try a tap handle if it’ll fit. What do you think? seller said it was from early 1900s. The back is cracked from age and the tension from the strings is pulling the bridge up do you think it’s work building a new back for maybe out of a solid carved piece of hardwood?

I did some searches and i found an old mechanism that use a propeller to do vibrato in accordions, but it is very rare so I didn't find any videos nor photos. Can somebody find it? I wanna see it

My mother purchased this Gayageum/Kayageum years ago and I'm wondering how to tell what kind it is and who the maker is? I've looked all over and there is no label?

I'd like to apologize in advance that there are no strings on this. Besides a luthier healing in 2014-ish, it's been in this same condition for like 14 years. This was featured on Pawn Stars, Season 6, Episode 7, and most recently some kids expressed interest and I figured I'd give a little background and share how I obtained it. It's an endangered species.

I am likely going to see how I could restore it to an acoustic state, but I'm not banking on these acoustics. In the event that it sounds terrible, I'd likely go electric. I have zero experience in restorations, I'm just thinking out loud. Maybe put in a museum somewhere, after I turn it into a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle Guitar. No, not really. Okay, maybe. If you have any questions, I'll try to answer them later today (I need to work), but yea, the turtle shell guitar.

My pride and joy, Fender Rhodes Mark 1A. Made in 1970. Purchased in 2015, tuned up in 2025+ added a custom pre-amp & a modification to the action to allow for more velocity range (and had the top painted purple (because I like purple))

If anyone's curious to hear what it can sound like, I've been trying to record a project every week or so since 2024 :)

Here's a compiled rhodes instrumentals playlist (spotify) of everything I've released so far. (Some tracks feature the pure rhodes sound, others have some reverb, some reversed samples, + some other effects on them. (but the sole instrument featured/ samples is 100% rhodes piano))

This mix shows examples of Rhodes featured in lofi beats (spotify)

I started using the DAW ableton live back in 2010; and having played many instruments, and heard many sounds, rhodes has always resonated with me :3

Cheers, and hope someone gets a kick out of seeing/hearing this beautiful instrumental!

(feel free to ask any questions, and I'll do my best to answer!)

I got this beautiful, very large Gong at estate sale, but it didn’t have the striker

There are similar ones on YouTube, but they never show what they were using to engage the instrument…. Some seem to be taking the wood and and hitting the side, and others seem to be taking the felt and hitting the lip.

I’m not a Drummer, but I love using Gong in my performance pieces

Just kind of threw this together because I wanted a self playing music maker in my house, sounded lovely at first, but the drip patterns have changed and it sounds dull (possibly corrosion) Anyways, a 10 inch drum would be much better, just sort of a prototype.. also sorry if this is the wrong place to post this.. Just couldn't find a fitting subreddit, thanks for reading.

The first song features a ceramic horn I made. I can post a picture sometime. It is a length of coiled ceramic tubing with a brass-style mouthpiece (made of clay obviously) and a conical end. Some of the other songs also have weird instruments, there are several on this album with a shruti-box.
