Do You Have Strings Attached?

xoxoxoBruce · 01-06-2007, 03:12 AM

Do you have strings attached to your instrument but maybe don't know exactly what it is?
Do people refer to you as that plucker, over there?

The Atlas of Plucked Instruments may be just what you need.
You can also look for instruments by region;
Europe West
Europe East
Europe South
Africa
Middle East
Central Asia
India
Far East
S.E. Asia
America N
America C
America S

For those of us with no talent, he supplies lots of pretty pictures.

Uh, nope, my instrument's a woodwind.

But for greater flexibility I hope one day to learn the guitar.

Vocal chords? do they count as strings? or piano? It's got strings.

Urbane Guerrilla · 01-09-2007, 09:05 PM

Piano, yes -- vocal chords more like or as a woodwind: got vibrating thingy in a stream of air, vibrated by the flow of the stream.
