My 4-string Berber Loutar

Hey everyone!

Just got this Berber Loutar from Morocco (4-string version, cedar body with goat skin top)

Does anyone here play Loutar? Any tips on tuning, string action, or learning resources?

Also curious how different it feels compared to the malian n’goni!

Considering buying the Neotone Mutant – Looking for real user experiences and reviews!

Hi everyone,

​I’m currently seriously considering buying the Neotone Mutant digital handpan, but before making such a big investment, I would love to hear some real-world feedback from actual owners or people who have spent time playing it.

What about playability & feel?

Knowing what you know now, would you buy it again, or are there any frustrating limitations I should know about?

What flute should I get?

Hello! I’m a pursuing college student who’s going into music ed, I’m looking for an open hole flute I was playing on my assistants Emerson that had a sterling silver head and it was really nice but I need to buy my own! I’m planning on buying from the flute center.

I don’t live near anywhere with a flute center so I can’t trial it and I’m hesitant to do it through mail but I digress!

I’m looking at 3 currently! I don’t want to spend too much so I’m on a budget. The three I’m looking at are in order of want.

  1. Di zhao 701 ( I’ve never tried a Di zhao but it interests me though I wish it had French keys! )

  2. Haynes 680 ( I’ve never tried a Haynes either but I’ve felt like I heard good things? )

  3. Yamaha 362. ( it’s definitely not the best but it’s cheaper and Yamahas are reliable I feel. )

please tell me your thoughts!!

Old Accordion

Picked up this old accordion from a swap meet. Was wondering about identification, repair and potential value. Works fine but definitely out of tune. I know a fair bit from 8 years of percussion but also looking for advice on how to play Accordion as this is outside my knowledge.

Opinion

Hey everyone! I have this Player II Modified Active Jazz Bass V in Olympic Pearl, and I'm thinking about upgrading/modifying the hardware. I won't be doing it myself a luthier will be handling it—but I was wondering if anyone here has done something similar and could share their thoughts or opinion? What I want to do is swap all the hardware to gold. Here is a potential mock-up / result of how it would look.

Guitar or drums? I genuinely can't decide

I've been wanting to properly learn either guitar or drums, but I genuinely can't decide which one to go for.

With drums, I already mess around a bit. I drum along to songs using stuff around me — a table as a hi-hat, a book as a snare, and a trash bin as a kick xD. And there are some songs where I can actually follow along pretty well (Wake Me Up When September Ends and In Bloom), so I feel like I might have some natural sense for drums.

But at the same time, I play Guitar Hero a lot and I'm pretty good at it, and I really enjoy the guitar side of things too. I just love both and really want to properly learn one of them.

The problem is, I have no idea which one to choose.

Help?

My first shop-made uke photos

This the first one I built…I made my own mold for the body and all other fixtures & jigs. Local black ash back and sides, local spruce top (top is actually 5 pieces edge glued together since I had nothing wide enough). Local white birch neck. local birch burl peghead overlay. I bought a pre-slotted fingerboard, as I didn’t yet have a fret slotting capability, but I did install the frets.

My Music Room

Everything works fine. I bought alot of these cheap online and at pawn shops, had to fix a number of them myself and many are old and/or foreign. I prefer the ukuleles, harmonicas (especially through an ​old microphone into an amp) and the drums best but I can do a little something on most of them. I still have more than this.
