“There are #instruments where you look at it and go, ‘Holy shit, what has this thing seen? … Just imagining #Garcia in his dressing room, fucking playing the thing. Instruments carry a spirit.” #guitars #GuitarSky #JerryGarcia #DerekTrucks www.guitarworld.com/artists/guit... #music #MusicSky

“We knew that if Tiger went so...
“We knew that if Tiger went somewhere else, it was most likely going to be left behind glass”: Derek Trucks plays Jerry Garcia’s ‘Tiger’ guitar on stage just hours after it sold for $12 million

I've been working on a prototype for an instrument that fits an entire keyboard in a compact space.

This is tuned in 4ths like a bass guitar, if only it had 12 strings and a really wide neck.

Parmi les #instruments créés pour rendre la musique accessible, je t'ai déjà parlé de la #garmoshka.

Je découvre ici le #cécilium :
https://www.espace-musical.org/page_cecilium.php

Fabriqué en Normandie au 19e s.
« Un soufflet manœuvré par un "archet" à travers une fente en arc de cercle de la façade de l'instrument permet de faire vibrer des anches libres. […]
Le pédagogue libertaire Paul Robin utilisera le cécilium pour faciliter le développement de la sensibilité musicale des orphelins de Cempuis. »

Sat down and tried to play piano for the first time in over a decade. Man am I rusty. At least for reading music (and off my cell phone on top of that). But I don't feel discouraged. In the course of an hour, a lot came back and my hands still move almost as they should. Excited to see how I'll progress over the next couple weeks before I have to give the keyboard back.
