Flute Demonstration - Low D

Here is a flute I built.
Please enjoy! : ]

Bonjour !
Je vous présente mes #guitares de gauche à droite :
- Mountain
- Naria
- Triskèle

Chacune a son histoire et sa sonorité.
Et vous, quelles sont vos guitares préférées ?

The #sapphics are asking: is it weird to #reuse a #strap with another #partner

#Queer #intimacy comes in all shapes and sizes, and requires different #instruments for different #tastes. None of this is news, but on #TikTok, a few questions are being raised about the #ethics of #reusing a certain…#tool.

Here is an instrument I built a while back. It's a 6 string fretless lute.

You play it with a feather (old appalachian dulcimer trick).
Tuned A,C,D,G,D,A

Enjoy the jam!

A pitch-perfect speech by a great and humble poet. So much said in so few words.

And the most moving tribute paid to his accidental guitar teacher in the early 1960s, a young man from Spain in Montreal who gave him three lessons and then vanished.

"It was those six chords, it was that guitar pattern, that has been the basis of all my songs."

So... This is a Thing. Wurlitzer. Can't find a model number.

Turns on, the tempo light works and power light turns on. After a couple few minutes on and fiddling with, it started humming louder. Not getting any volume from it and trying to decide, if it comes with Something Else, if it's worth trying to fix.

#audio fedi, #organs fedi (is that even a thing?), #music fedi, #instruments , any thoughts?

Donating old #instruments to labs that can’t afford to buy new sounds like a nice idea, but the practicalities are often difficult (for example with an #ElectronMicroscope a colleague got, not noticing the liquid mercury cap was open and the box upside-down). https://cen.acs.org/business/instrumentation/happens-old-scientific-instruments/102/i18?utm_source=Live+Audience&utm_campaign=c11700db61-nature-briefing-daily-20240625&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_b27a691814-c11700db61-50179668

An interesting device that uses spinning discs with strong magnets to "resonate steel stringed instruments".
