Let's talk about our musical instruments

my little noise maker aka Renoise.

I play the mandolin. My cousin and uncle are both well-known musicians, but for me it's just a way to relax after work. I practice for an hour or so each day.

A couple of my students play the guitar, and it's fun to accompany them on the mandolin.

Gurrr I want to post a picture of the mandolin I bought (and sold to my brother ) but oh well....I think my dad is about to buy a banjo (w00tz!)

Wiard Modular Analog Synthesizer


Esraj (basically a bowed sitar)

We play old folk and rock tunes, and sometimes a little jazz. Last night we were figuring out how to play "So What" (by Miles Davis) while listening to a CD by Jerry Garcia and Dave Grisman.

The following is a list of musical instruments, categorized by section. Please add to List of musical instruments by Hornbostel-Sachs number also. See also List of instruments by nationality and Category:Musical instruments

There are 482 musical instruments listed. This includes the variations of categories, but not the categories themselves. Example: There are eight types of flutes in the western concert flute category, which are all metal. Therefore there are eight instruments listed in that category and western concert flute is not considered a musical instrument and is not listed in the count of instruments.
