Hi,

Some great features are coming to Orange soon, one of them is being able to tell which instrument you play in your band.

We made a first list of instruments here :
http://www.jamendo.com/en/get2/name/tag/plain?type=instrument&n=all&order=alpha_asc

Tell us if you play an instrument that's not listed in here so we can add it (wikipedia entry mandatory)

thanks!

Just added:

thanks! keep going :)

done all of them!

There are still dozens of musical instruments out there, but they are far too exotic. I mentioned only those that I've heard on Jamendo.

hamonica <-----------
Handbell
Hang (instrument)
Harmonica <----------

Isn't the same?

No, hamonica is without "r" and harmonica - with.
I couldn't find "hamonica"....
What is this if not a typo?

found here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hang_%28musical_instrument%29

yeas a wonderful instrument (in the right hands)

any on jamendo?

There are 2 artists that play Hang on Jamendo

who?

if anyone, i thought maybe you..

please enlighten me :)

Pedro Collares

Barnacustica and Ubjk - the same guy.

another instrument : steeldrum http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steelpan
Hang was inspired by this one.

phonicboom: I actually played twice on a Hang and it's quite incredible... but the instrument itself is very, very rare :(

And quite costly.
But I can tell you that after the first enthusiasm it becomes boring pretty soon, because it's limited to one fixed scale.

Well my friend showed me there are some clever tricks you can do to make other sounds (like massaging the upper part to make the whole thing vibrate), I guess with enough virtuosity you don't get bored too soon :)

Viola
Violin
Singer------------- What kind of istrument is that?
Xylophone

And why [/b b] tags don't work?

A variety of sounds could be made by implementing a singer sewing machine on a track, I'd imagine.

The list is missing a washboard. Not that I use one or anything, though I have discovered my lamp shade can be used as one. So I guess, really, the list is missing washboards and lamp shades, since I'm probably going to eventually drop some lamp shade into a track. The list is pretty biased against random objects laying around my house that could be turned into instruments at any moment.

VOICE !!! Instead of singer. Voice is singers' instrument.

singers are not musical instruments

You again!

Charango

You missed these sylvinus:

1.Dholak

dholak

2. Sarangi

I don't think there's anybody on Jamendo playing these. No use to list all existing instruments.

Kazoo: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kazoo

cuica: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cuica

Just use this list : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_musical_instruments

but who knows they may come in future....

when you can have 'tabla' then why not 'dholak'? They are very common.

Kazoo and cuica are used by many

Wine cristal glasses, I used to play them when I was drunk

control urself and forget drinking, then one day we will get table, desks, chairs.......when we bang our fists on them while humming a tune....

That's exactly what I meant.

circuitbent electronics
electronics
percussion
bass clarinet
singing bowls
gong (tam tam's there, great!)
throatsinging
contact microphone

Wikipedia list of all musical instruments

hey I cant find my circuitbent casetteplayer there. nor the windmachine or throatsinging. *duh*

Throatsinging is not an instrument, but technique. The other things you mentioned are rather devices than instruments.

Another List of Odd Instruments

you're close to disrespecting my lifestyle here. If it's a list where you can choose what instruments that was used, surely throatsinging would be one of them. as circuitbent electronics would be.

I'm curious what that "throatsinging" instrument looks like. Can I see a picture of it?

actually, friends have asked me, "do you have to look ugly to throatsing?". and if you think the wikipedia list should be the norm then you think "Death Growl" should be listed as an instrument. :-j
