Hey there! I play shak too. Not in a traditional sense. Although i study traditional styles of Shakuhachi and hope someday to be able to do it. I use a looper and play over chord progressions I lay down on guitar. Here’s a pic of my shaks and a couple Native American flutes. The other pic is of some of my other play things! Chickens,gardens, art and music, what else ya need right?

I've been doing piano since I was little and I really like it. A couple years back I started doing erhu. I would also like to try learning another musical instrument... maybe guitar? who knows.

How the heck do you get your bamboo with the root ends?

These were made by a friend/ band mate who has a stand of bamboo in his yard, they are pretty close but have a few minor tuning issues. One of them in the photo is a resin flute that is perfectly tuned and thats what i study with. It has an ok sound but not like bamboo. I’ve been looking for a vintage flute for sometime But they are not easy to come by and good ones are so very expensive.

Hi everyone, I know I haven’t posted here in a long time, but now I have a musical problem and I would like some input.

My Evette clarinet mouthpiece just broke. I can’t find the piece that broke off, but I’m wondering if it’s fixable or if I need a new one. Any thoughts?

No idea...may need to swing by a local instrument repair shop anyway!

I decided to see if there are any other musicians here.

I play many instruments. Ocarina, Harmonica, Piano, Guitar, Ukulele, Erhu, Clarinet, Shakuhachi, and Organ.

In fact, on the Organ, I am learning the Toccata and Fugue in D Minor by Johann Sebastian Bach. Here is my progress so far.

So, any other musicians here?

you play the ocarina, so do I, I have learned my first song.
Have any tips and tricks.

I have a 12 hole, alto C.

I have a 12 hole alto c also! What a coincidence!

here’s what I would do, get yourself a fingering chart off the internet, learn the fingering for each note, then practice simple songs.

I started by playing songs from the game The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time.
