  1. VT Digger: At Vermont’s Estey Organ Museum, many donations total $10. Then came one so big, it paid off the mortgage.. “Volunteers at this town’s Estey Organ Museum are used to a symphony of sounds at the former home of the world’s largest manufacturer of pump and pipe instruments….But everybody went silent when peers at the local historical society, having recently banked several […]

  3. Zhinit: How To Train a Generative Kick Drum Model on Your Old Linux Desktop With 6GB of VRAM. “This article goes through how I trained and deployed a generative latent diffusion kick drum model from scratch on more than 13,000 kick drums from my personal sample library on a local Linux machine with a 7-year-old NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER (6GB of VRAM).”

  5. At first glance, this violino looks more like a sculpture than a musical instrument.
    Its oversized, amoeba-like body was designed to maximize resonance while remaining fully playable. Though innovative, unconventional instrument designs like this have often struggled to gain acceptance despite their potential to improve performance, comfort, and accessibility.

  7. While we are on a music kick, lets listen to what ancient Persia sounded like around 1400 BC?
    Sarah Parsaei performs on the Arjan harp — a historic instrument with roots going back nearly 3,400 years — in Tehran, Iran.

  11. #teamrecorder Sarah's review of the #Sigo #BassRecorder:
    youtube.com/watch?v=cZ9EQLaR_dQ I'm ever so slightly tempted by this, but may be holding out for the sub-bass if they do one (haven't watched to the end yet, maybe she does mention it). Seeing that she introduces the sigo line as a continuation of the Paetzolds, I am hopeful ... #recorders #musicalInstruments

  13. Associated Press: AI helped a musician with Parkinson’s finish his new album when he could no longer play guitar. “Samuel Smith spent years writing songs with a guitar in his hands. Now, the London-based singer-songwriter is using artificial intelligence tools to help him continue making Americana music after Parkinson’s disease largely took away his ability to play guitar.”

  19. Sighted out back of the Grey St Salami in HamilTron, Aotearoa, an electric organ. Presumably left for the op shop staff to deal with. No idea if it works, but ....

  21. MIT News: MIT engineers’ virtual violin produces realistic sounds. “While there are software programs and plug-ins that enable users to play around with virtual violins, their sounds are typically the result of sampling and averaging over thousands of notes played by actual violins. In contrast, the new computational violin takes a physics-based approach: It produces sound based on the way […]

  23. inspected #oxford's new #BateCollection today.
    It has shrunk to a single room with not that many #MusicalInstruments on display. I probably own more instruments than you can see there without starting to pull out drawers.
    Not many of the instruments are from the period they are supposedly representing.

  25. I completely missed the memo when this intriguingly designed compact tenor #recorder came out last year: youtube.com/watch?v=xz_QLNjFwSk Extremely clever trick that you can now close the endhole with the right thumb rather than with your knee as per traditional extended technique. This is because the bore does a U-turn and comes out just below the normal thumb position. But how to clean that U turn???? #ergonomicDesign #musicalInstruments
