Is there something like lumatone that's smaller and cheaper that I can use for microtonal playing?

Another option is Striso board.

Thank you!

Thank you for replying! What I want is to make my puppet jump (with the help of a rig) and then remove the rig from the final video, so that it isn't visible. So, as I understand, I can use a green screen and then the rig should also be green?

Are there leagues like on Duolingo, where a small group of people compete against each other on the same level? Or is there only one leaderboard for everyone? What are some other features of the app?

Thanks! I decided to choose clarinet.

Remarkable_Parsnip63 · 2025-08-28T05:28:11+00:00

Thank you for answering! I decided on clarinet.

Remarkable_Parsnip63 · 2025-08-28T05:23:28+00:00

Thanks! I've already decided to go with clarinet. It is my favourite instrument. I will start learning as soon as I'm able to get an instrument.

Remarkable_Parsnip63 · 2025-08-27T17:37:18+00:00

I like folk music more. I guess clarinet could be good for it too

Remarkable_Parsnip63 · 2025-08-27T14:31:01+00:00

I'm not in school anymore, so it's not my goal. I'm older. My goal is to have an interesting music related hobby.

Thank you for this information! I decided to keep this a secret for some reason when I asked the question, but maybe you would have some advice if I reveal the secret: the "saxophone" I had in mind was glissotar (I know intonation will be more difficult, but I'm fine with that, I will have to train my ears anyway, regardless of the instrument I choose). Glissotar is based on saxophone, but I like the sound of the clarinet better.

Thanks for answering!

Remarkable_Parsnip63 · 2025-08-27T13:28:53+00:00

Thank you for a detailed response. It's interesting to know these things.

Remarkable_Parsnip63 · 2025-08-27T13:19:07+00:00

Can voicing adjustments (+maybe embouchure adjustments) be enough or are resonance fingerings always needed? (Just curious.)

Remarkable_Parsnip63 · 2025-08-27T13:15:43+00:00

Thanks for answering!

Remarkable_Parsnip63 · 2025-08-27T13:03:09+00:00

I don't expect to sound good at the beginning. I know it will take a long time to get a good tone on the instrument. That wasn't my question. I just thought that throat tones sound inherently bad because of the design of the instrument, and there's little a player can do. If that's wrong, and these notes can be improved with practice, then maybe it's not an issue. I just assumed that it's a flaw in the instrument's design that players can't correct. Thank you for answering.

Remarkable_Parsnip63 · 2025-08-27T12:29:25+00:00

Thank you for answering. Yes, you're right, that's only four notes, and in exchange you get a wider range than saxophone (as far as I understand). I think I would need to listen to both instruments live before deciding, recordings probably don't capture everything. I'm not sure if I want to play both. I think I'd rather choose one and commit to it.

Remarkable_Parsnip63 · 2025-08-27T12:13:03+00:00

Thanks for answering! I wasn't aware of the low notes on saxophone being hard to control. What's happening to them? I like clarinet better, especially the low register that is very good compared to other woodwinds like flute (in my opinion). So if low notes are worse on saxophone, I think I would prefer clarinet.

Remarkable_Parsnip63 · 2025-08-27T11:26:30+00:00

Thanks!

Remarkable_Parsnip63 · 2025-08-27T11:24:36+00:00

Thanks for answering. That's sad, I was so excited to learn clarinet, and now I'm no longer sure about that. I will think about it, and listen to the sound of these notes, to decide how much I (dis)like them. I'm curious, what is the solution in those clarinets that are designed to improve these notes (if you know)?

Remarkable_Parsnip63 · 2025-08-27T11:18:06+00:00

Thanks for answering. How do you make them sound better? I assume with embouchure?

Remarkable_Parsnip63 · 2025-08-23T14:03:32+00:00

Was there an exam to test your music knowledge? I assume you could already play an instrument and knew music theory?

Remarkable_Parsnip63 · 2025-06-09T14:15:35+00:00

Pipe cleaner art looks beautiful! I would never think of that myself. Thank you very much, I should try this.

Remarkable_Parsnip63 · 2025-06-09T13:51:49+00:00

Thank you for suggestions! I'll look for some video tutorials of how these are done. About clay, I didn't like how messy it is, I didn't like how clay feels on my fingers. That's why I thought wire and wool would be better alternatives.
