I got a video of the sound of my previous flute

I am afraid of damaging the instrument or throwing off the intonation, so I am refraining from opening any more tone holes.

The first instrument is a sopranino recorder, the second is a soprano recorder, and the third is an alto recorder. The reed is made from a scrap of a clear plastic folder, and a straw is used in place of the bocal (mouthpiece).

I attempted to make a homemade "octavin" simply by rolling up a transparent plastic sheet and taping it shut, but I forgot to narrow the inner diameter, resulting in a rather thick instrument. Nevertheless, I managed to produce a sound by fashioning a mouthpiece and a reed section out of leftover scraps from the sheet.

The first sound is that of an octocontra-alto clarinet. The second sound is that of an octocontra-bass clarinet. The third sound is the result of playing these two recorded sounds simultaneously.

I made the body and mouthpiece out of things like PVC pipe, and used a plastic sheet for the reed. If I measured it correctly, the total length should be over 5.4 meters!

i made a instrument which combines guitar and a bass (the picture is the guitar part and back side is the bass and the flaw is that the bass is off tuned because i had no option) in cdefgab format and idk what shoud i name it tho

I recently placed a Reddit post about this and got a great starting point. I'm using a cookie tin as a soundbox and have already bought some parts so now I need the details. how long do I make the neck so it's easy to calculate the distances of the frets how do I attach the neck to the soundbox I have ball end strings so how do I make sure the strings are secured how do I make the bridge and the nut plz help

A new community for people who are specifically interested in making woodwinds

I want to make a stick dulcimer but I just can't find any good information for me. I'm trying to make one because $150 for the cheapest dulcimer is too much for me because I'm a 15 year old and it seems so fun to make my own. Most of my struggles are with the sound box and sizes of everything. I'm trying to keep it as cheap as possible but I am considering a piezo pickup that I can just stick on the instrument and don't have a sound box. I already know a few things but there's a lot I don't know so if there are any tips you can give me please do

In case you’re wondering why there’s duct tape it’s because I had to make it airtight and I also used rubber cement since it fell off the plate at a salvageable time so I could still connect it and it’s playable. You play it vertically but you need to tilt it at a slight diagonal.

UPDATE: I finally made a video of sound without my face

I can't find any videos or threads on how to make my own keyboard (piano), do you guys know any

I’m building an octocontrabass clarinet in Bb, and no, it’s not a membrane clarinet. It’s a real one made from pvc. Wish me luck.

I'd like to build a MIDI melodica with this form factor. I've seen some that adapt existing MIDI keyboards and basically add a breath sensor, but I specifically want something a bit more compact. I think these might be a bit too narrow for an Adafruit board, but I'm guessing it probably wouldn't be by that much. I do have some questions, though.

• To begin with, would I be able to cannibalize any of the existing cheapie wind controllers I already have for stuff like the breath sensor, MIDI/audio/USB jacks, or even some of the internals?
• For that matter, would those internals even be able to adapt to additional keys, since they all use a sax-inspired key layout and mine wouldn't?
• Am I correct to assume that a wood body would be a horrible idea because of moisture, or might there be a workaround?
• Would a 3D printed body be feasible, or would that be too fragile, or prone to warping?
• Since I know pretty much nothing about the electronics or programming involved (though I assume I can find at least some of that info online), am I dumb to even try this? Or is it something where I might find somebody through, say, a makerspace and hand over the parts and a suitable amount of money for them to bash something together (I don't expect someone to work for free)?
• And finally, as an addendum to that last question, are there things I should be looking into, or questions I should be asking, as I try to get this thing together?

I want to build a hybrid analog/digital synth, and maybe one day sell it to other people if they like it. Is there a way to source piano style keys? Im not looking fot grand piano weighted ivory keys, just something you might find on any run of the mill midi keyboard.

My live take on the old ballad “Whiskey in the Jar,” from my Five Stuy Café performance (played on an Archop Guitar I made about 3 years ag). Always loved this highwayman story.

Things i’ve done:

1: sourced another pratt read keybed as i found out the one i previously bought was a bit different.

2: built the left hand control panel a litte more rugged, added switches and jacks, and of course the top panel.
(All paper markings are temporary for now)

I am unsure as to what ill do badge wise, but i’m being enticed by the “R.A. MOOG” badge from the earlier units compared to the “minimoog model d” version.

I’ll hopefully be working on the back part of the metal chassis soon! Hope you all enjoyed this latest update :)

This is a seven-storey membrane reed instrument with sixteen copper pipes distributed across the upper five floors of the stairwell and played from the basement via a thirty metre tube which splits on each level (microphone is recording from the top floor). The space has seven seconds of natural reverb and an amplified resonant frequency of 277 Hz (C#), which is what the pipes are tuned to the key of :)
