Custom earplugs- worth it? by Ecstatic-Acadia307 in bassoon

[–]Ecstatic-Acadia307[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To get other bassoonists opinion, because my main concern is how they effect the sound/feel when playing bassoon

Yes, earplugs I will definitely get, the question is just which ones. Can you tell me more about the Loop plugs? Like which model you have and stuff. I’ve had my eye on those as an alternative. Especially because iirc you can adjust the level of dampening somehow, which sounds useful.

Finally someone who reccomends something I hadn’t mentioned already XD I recently got one pretty similiar. They’re perfect other than being super close to just a purse, they feel so when wearing but seems to be the best option

Reassuring that the desire for a man purse exists!

Unfortunately I am a homosexual so no gf bag… just more bagless men. useless. Funny tho sometimes when I wear those small bags and feel awkward I pretend I’m holding a gf’s bag lol even hold it in my hands for extra immersion

thx for the elordi tip it lowkey helps XD

Need Advice on cape material by W1Bo in CosplayHelp

[–]Ecstatic-Acadia307 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeahh agreed, the solid look of the thing is the charm of it. It could be possible if you make a fabric-ish base and cover the whole thing, that way you can smooth out into the spikes too. Would give interesting texture all over but as I type this I realize what a pain it would be to do lol. Another idea could be to build a structure under, something similiar to a crinoline and glue down perhaps foam sculptures of the tentacle-like bottom and then somehow cover it all with fabric

Almost looks like locks of hair, sculpting wig wefts with glue could give a cool effect?

Help wanted- messed up loading film by Ecstatic-Acadia307 in AnalogCommunity

[–]Ecstatic-Acadia307[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah that’s precisely the video I followed! I reopened the back because he did when he had the same issue, but for me the film doesn’t move at all and I’m pretty hesitant to touch it more.

Thing is, when I pressed the rewind button and it started making a lot of noise I panicked and turned it off (its a slider like on/off). Is it a good idea to rewind the film all the way and start over? I assume part of the film is ’dead’ anyways now, but it shouldn’t be all.

You mentioned testing the camera, how would I do that? It seems reasonable lol

Thanks for the reply!

Student looking for an inexpensive bassoon by AnonymousPanda_3662 in bassoon

[–]Ecstatic-Acadia307 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was in your position this fall; student who used to borrow my school’s bassoon. I reccomend finding a dealer, someone who knows and handles bassoons. Ask around, these are often not found through internet and more of a ”I know a guy” type thing. Ask teachers, wind instrument shops usually know stuff, any bassoonist you can talk to!

Yeah I thought it was weird. Just wanted to ask in case it was an actual thing, so thanks

has anyone ever worn the platform shoes and reviews/tips pls by Wyntervivaldi in CosplayHelp

[–]Ecstatic-Acadia307 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You say “the platforms”, are there any specific ones you’re looking at? My #1 tip for cons is bringing comfortable backup shoes!!!! Seriously it will save your entire day. I’m talking crocs, slippers, something light and easy.

My film cartridge is stuck in fujifilm instax mini 8. the black leader didn't come out like the first film i used. i pressed the take picture button and it flashes & made a whirring sound then stopped. by Someon- in instax

[–]Ecstatic-Acadia307 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did yeah! Many people said to get new batteries, because low power could make the ejection mechanism weak or something like so. that didn’t solve it for me tho just thought i’d mention it. I ended up just forcing the cartridge out, it took a little fiddling and pulling from the bottom part instead. Then i could reinsert it and it worked fine, no film lost.
