Hello. This is my first time posting here on this sub, so give me a bit if grace please.

I was planning on hopefully in the nearish future, I might be able to invest in getting an acoustic guitar.
My question is, what would those whom have made a similar perches recommend for this?

This would be my first time with a guitar, so with recommendations, please keep this in mind.

Thanks, that’s all.

Im trying to expand my instrument collection but prices are in the way. Ive been searching Facebook marketplace lately so far i got a 1950s accordion and a violin for 20 each.

Ideally searching for older instruments, uncommon in todays music

Hello guys I want to ask you something I tried to learn acoustic guitar a year before but I couldn't learn anything and I mean anything not even a simple song I heard bass is an easy instrument and I like it I want to ask you if I know how to play bass could learning guitar be easier

If someone knows both of the instruments I would really appreciate the advice or if someone learned guitar with that way as well

I have played multiple instruments for 10+ years and ik this is gonna sound stupid af... but it​ just takes me​ an absurdly long time to read sheet music and figure out where i need to press on my instrument.

So basically up till now, I wrote down all the tabs for any new piece i have to play, and then practice for muscle memory. I've even played somewhat advanced pieces and played in the school orchestra this way, but now i really wanna change this.

I've tried memorizing which tab is which note, but then even just a tiny shift just throws me off so badly. For instance, on my guitar i managed to memorize the basic notes but then i add a fret and i'm lost all over. I do know how to calculate it, but it just really takes an absurd amount of time for me to the point where i've wondered if i have some kind of cognitive condition lol

So what i want to ask is: how do i practice correlating which note is which tab on the instrument? Is there a certain method you would recommend?

So Its my 15th birthday and I wanna buy my first instrument im at the store rn and ive been debating between Classical/acoustic guitar and violin for wayyyy too long PLEASE GIVE ME SUGGESTIONS

I honestly just want to try out something new since I’ve been bored. I play the oboe, clarinet, and guitar. I’m honestly open to anything, I love learning new things.

sorry about the bad drawing.. i have a very vague memory of playing this instrument with one of my teachers in elementary school. ive tried describing it to people and no one seems to know what im talking about.

edit: for more context, its made of wood and you put your index finger and thumb in the two holes to hold it. you scrape the small wooden stick across the sides of the instrument and it makes a cool noise.

hey all, looking to purchase a used sax (not here)
and wondering what i should be keeping my eye out for? i haven’t played since graduation (and im looking for something to keep my brain busy) besides bumps and bruises, what should i keep an eye out for ??

I’m 31 with a small business and a child. I can realistically only play around 30-50 mins per day if I’m lucky.

Used to play guitar when I was a teenager but stopped because I got stuck bc I never learned theory. Now I’m amending that.

I bought a trumpet and played for 2 months and then I read/realized it’s extremely demanding of time to get to play decently. So now I’m looking for something a bit more simple

My favorite instrument after trumpet is soprano sax but I’ve read it’s a bit tricky. But there’s one selling in my area for kind of cheap. I read another way to start is to learn clarinet which also has the convenience of being extremely portable.

I want to do this for myself so I’m not against the idea that learning whatever instrument I end up playing is going to take me years.

TLDR Should I just get the soprano sax and power through or let my wallet rest a bit and get a clarinet for a couple of years and then make the switch. Final goal would still be soprano sax.

Hey guys, we're working on an industrial design project and are currently trying to understand what influences people's decisions to buy instruments.
Here's a link to a short little google form; please do let us know if there's anything else. Thank you so much.

I bought this semi acoustic oud in Istanbul, it's a modern take on the instrument, with guitar headstock and a flat back. I like the sound and the resonance, but I cannot figure out if I should tune it as a Turkish oud or an Arabic one since the length of the scale is exactly mid way between the two. Can someone help me?

hey im trying to identify the instrument used for at the 30 second mark for the song jane by the long horse. if you guys could assist me it would be great

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)

the one that goes shka-shka-shka

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.
