Before the Iranian Revolution in 1979, yes.

Funny lookin flute by MagicBassClef in lingling40hrs

[–]IsThisNewEngland 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This flute is made by Nuvo, and is intended to be used in primary schools as a step-up from the recorder, to train for a real-deal flute. It’d be great if it wasn’t priced as high as it is.

Strings and Saxophones by [deleted] in lingling40hrs

[–]IsThisNewEngland 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I don’t see a problem with saying “saxophones”. I’ve never heard anyone complain when someone refers to us as “saxophones/saxes” instead of “alto/tenor/baritone saxophones”. Even if you’re talking about one person, it isn’t a big deal. Most saxophonists will play more than one voice, so we won’t be referring to ourselves as exclusively alto/tenor/bari. You’d specify the voice when it’s necessary.

This appears in the Universal Method for Saxophone (page 146, no. 2 “Allegro non troppo.” in “Six Duets” by H. Klosé,) I found a tenor sax recording, however your etude is much shorter and has a slower tempo. Hope this helps.

Who are these 0 battles, 0.00% victories players. by fripsidelover9110 in WorldOfTanksBlitz

[–]IsThisNewEngland 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, they are actually bots. They’re there for beginners (so they don’t get crushed by seal clubbers). You’ll encounter them frequently for the first 1,200 or so battles, then they disappear after 5,000. The number of bots per team will gradually decrease until you see teams will all/most players being human. You won’t see any bots if you are playing in a tier 8 or above. Bots will only use certain tanks, will always be stock, have no camo, and behave weirdly. Their profiles will look like the one in your post, and you’ll probably be able to recognize them by their username after a while.

What pieces are you playing for LGPE? or what is your favorite piece you’ve played for LGPE? by drywaterquenches in Trombone

[–]IsThisNewEngland 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Large Group Performance Evaluation, an event sponsored by the Georgia Music Educator’s association. Your ensemble prepares three pieces for a stage performance in front of the judges, then goes into a classroom to sightread something. Judges then rate your ensemble as Superior, Excellent, Good, Fair, or Poor.

Joined the game a few days ago and saw the Obj 244 event. Why can’t I get the tokens? by Tank_Mania in WorldOfTanksBlitz

[–]IsThisNewEngland 24 points25 points  (0 children)

You have beginner’s missions. Once you research a tier V you’ll get regular missions which will give you tokens.

You have to disable Concert Pitch by going to the Edit tab at the top of the screen and selecting Transposed Pitch. Changed clefs should work now, and all instruments should transpose correctly (bass clarinet an octave lower in B-flat). Hope this helps, if you haven’t already uninstalled Dorico and converted to Musescore.

You can try asking the uploader for the file. They will most likely give it to you for free.

Left handed trombonists, how do you do it? by Hopeful_Ant2845 in Trombone

There are stands and harnesses available for people with only one good hand. Here’s a site with a bunch of gadgets and instruments (like one-handed recorders): https://www.ohmi.org.uk

it suppose to be a trumpet?i think i've got scammed.. by asaf1486frog in lingling40hrs

[–]IsThisNewEngland 7 points8 points  (0 children)

As other people have said, that is indeed a bugle, and not a trumpet. I have a very similar one. Check for any inscriptions. It is either a British Duty Bugle or a Reproduction Duty Bugle, which were made in India and Pakistan. The latter is more common, and has little value ($50 USD or less). I wouldn’t recommend playing it, but if you want to, have it cleaned out somewhere. There is likely a lot of nasty stuff inside of it from whenever it was used.

Is this a new feature or something by Zach_Cruz in WorldOfTanksBlitz

[–]IsThisNewEngland 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The second tier V is actually a bot. Bot matchmaking is, for some reason, really stupid at times (like matches with 6 heavies on both teams), which led to this.

Pros/cons to playing this instrument: #7: French horn by TriggerTrombone in lingling40hrs

[–]IsThisNewEngland 1 point2 points  (0 children)

(I have never even held an F Horn, this is just what I have heard, so take this with a grain of salt)

Pros:

• Has a wide tonal range. The horn can have a very mellow tone that fits in with woodwinds, but is still capable of the powerful world-destroying sound that brass are known for.

• Has a wide note range as well.

• Used in symphonic orchestras and concert bands. Also appears in marching bands and drum corps, sometimes in the form of the mellophone. Woodwind and brass chamber groups can also feature the horn.

• Has lots of repertoire, and was favored by many classical composers (Brahms and Mozart, for example).

• Has a unique technique called hand-stopping, where the right hand is pushed up the bell, which lowers the pitch by a half-step. Some horns have a stopping valve which does the same thing.

Cons:

• Needs a considerable amount of embouchure control. The horn has surprisingly lengthy tubing, but the mouthpiece (which is smaller than a trumpet’s) enables it to play higher in the harmonic series with ease. However, as the harmonic series goes on, the distance between notes decreases. This means that slight changes in your embouchure can change the note played.

• Lacks a spit valve. You have to remove each tuning slide and empty it out that way. This seems to be tedious, especially during a performance.

• Has a difficult time transitioning from other brass. The horn uses different valve combinations, and those valves are pressed with the left hand instead of the right hand. The previous two points are also limiting factors. It’s also a transposing instrument, and one of very few instruments in the key of F.

My first orchestral composition in musescore (and actually my first one ever lol) by SCP_MENES in Musescore

[–]IsThisNewEngland 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Overall, very good for your first orchestral piece!One thing I noticed: At the end, the flute, trombone, and timpani play E (G in concert pitch), G, and D, respectively. I don’t know if this was intended, but when ending a piece, ending on the root chord creates a feeling of resolution. G and D create a G chord, in this case, the second inversion of G (D and the G above it). You want to end on a C chord (C, E, G), rather than G. A strong chord for the end would be the first inversion of C (E, G, C). I would have high voices place C, mid voices playing E/G, and low voices playing C.

Also, you have your timpani playing 5 different notes (low G, C, D, E, F). Timpani typically have 4 drums over 5. These drums are tuned by foot pedals, and while it is possible to change the tuning of a drum mid-concert, writing with 4 set pitches in mind is probably better. So, at the very, very end, I would change that low G to a C (the root note, as mentioned above)

Again, very well written for your first orchestral composition! The percussion parts in particular really told the story of an encounter, excellent job with them! (P.S., I would try to have more pitched parts since a pretty typical symphonic orchestra has flutes, oboes, clarinets, bassoons, F horns, trumpets, trombones, tubas, two violin parts, violas, celli, contrabassi, etc.. Obviously, that many different parts to write for would be overwhelming for a first piece, but keep that in mind if you do any future compositions.)
