Anything. I absolutely love music and the thought of being able to make it myself has always been a dream of mine. However, I can’t hold a beat to save my life. I’ve tried playing the piano, guitar, trumpet, and baritone at stages of my life, never with any success. I can’t even play Guitar Hero past medium difficulty.
Cello. I really think there is no greater instrument (maybe the church organ). It has such a range, from quick and frantic to dark and brooding. Forreference, check out anything composed by Gabriel Saban.
I have a deep love for Halloween season. I always wanted to get a waterphone. They are just a little to expensive for something that would 100% be a novelty.
Thank you for reminding me that this exists. FYI, it is out of patent and Mr. Waters is now deceased so, one could ethically and legally make a copy. (Patent no. US-3896696-A)
I’m intending to make one for myself at some point, as I THINK I have all the necessary tools at the Makerspace.
EDIT: Just investigated a bit. I absolutely do have access to the tools!!! Now, just to get in to practice TIG welding so that I’m not terribad at it.
“closed hole” flute: I have a tendency to pick up loud and obnoxious instruments. trumpet. diatonic harmonica. penny whistle. it would be cool to have a genuinely soft instrument. also, having skills that would transfer to piccolo:D
I guess piano, because I got a free piano off the streets. I could look up videos and lessons, but I’m kind of self conscious about practicing on a real whole god damn piano in an apartment building with neighbors in every direction. I also just don’t like to make a lot of noise. I should price an electronic keyboard I can pair with Bluetooth headphones to practice in perfect silence and privacy sometimes.
I would buy some cheap second hand yamaha keyboard and set it up on a table. Something like this:
RockJam RJ761 61 Key Keyboard Piano with Keyboard Bench, Digital Piano Stool, Sustain Pedal and Headphones amzn.eu/d/6uVi2Yu
They go a bit cheaper than that too. But anything with over around 66 keys would work.
See how that feels first. If you get into it and enjoy it then move over to the piano you have or spend more money on a proper electronic piano that you can use with headphones.
