I want to find out more information about Kyuushuu, Japan. Particularly the instruments that came from Kyuushuu. Does anyone know of perhaps a site I could go to to find this information out? Thank you.

Try wikipedia. Look into the Gamelan. I’m fairly certain it’s Japanese, but other than that I don’t know much of it’s origins. But do a general google search for "music of Kyuushuu, Japan" and see what happens.

Without getting too caught up, with leftover free time, and with enough time spent on each to learn it properly.
And I mean a regular person with only an hour or so of free time in the evenings, but around 5 hours of free time on Saturdays and Sundays.
I’m just wondering, because I play the flute, and am learning the guitar, but would also like to learn the piano and several other instruments. Do you think I would be able to find some kind of balance?

Depends on your definition of "properly". If your hour of free time per day doesn’t include practicing the two instruments you already play, then you already don’t have enough time to be good at the ones you play. Half an hour a day is enough to be okay, but not enough to be great.

There are lots of instruments where learning one gives you a huge step up in learning another. Clarinettists often play bass clarinet too. Recorder players play all the sizes. If you like variety rather than always practicing one instrument, you might consider one of those. As a flautist, how about piccolo?

I need to write a paper, and I want to know what kind of music is used by mevlevi order during the whirling. What is the significance? instruments used?

Try this site, it’s usually a big help.

I don’t care if it’s download or somewhere on the Sims-the musical instruments I’m talking about are things like guitars and drums.

Yes. You need the University expansion pack, but you can get them.

Drums, Guitar and bass guitar are available.

We need specific instruments and if possible it would be very helpful if you would include images of them, with labels of course. thank you very much.

When these instruments play, you know that the mood is sad, melancholic and sorrowful. I’m rearranging some music, and employing such would improve the atmosphere of the music. I know harps are one of them. What are the others?

Cello for sure. I always use it to score sad parts of films, yet I find it’s sounds to be beautiful.

Describe and explain the differences between the wave patterns produced by people and the wave patterns produced by the tuning fork or by a musical instrument

Well tuning forks and musical instruments produce waves that are pure tones, or a single frequency. People typically produce wave patterns (assuming we are talking about human vocal sounds) that may be a mixed number of frequencies, and may have alot of noise as well. Of course there are singers out there that can produce near perfect pure tones.

I want to get a second hand musical instrument shipped by post from USA to here in India. Will any custom duty be charged for it?

If it is declared as "Gift" on the custom form, no.

For example, I own a Tin Whistle, Ocarina, Jews Harp, Harmonica, Recorder, Dan Moi, and Kouxian, all of which cost less than $15 each on eBay.

I enjoy learning and playing musical instruments, so which ones are generally cheap? (I don’t mean instruments that are normally expensive but that can be bought cheaply second-hand).
Whistle/Tin Whistle/Pennywhistle are all names for the same thing, one of which I already have.

There’s a lot of percussion instruments you can get like maracas, tambourine, bongos, bongos, that sort of thing. Then if you go to your local music shop ask for user selling cheap instruments you an usually find a cheap trumpet maybe around $50 and that’s cheap.

I’ve thought of a few more for you though and even some you can make by yourself. I just bought a fife for $8. You can make a rain stick by take wrappping paper cardboard roll covering one side put seeds in it. Cover the other side poke tooth picks in the sides and cover it up in duck tape. Grass/leaf whistle you can find right outside your front door. There’s instruments all around you.

I need the difference between piano, guitar, drum, and other musical instruments of olden times and the present times!
IF POSSIBLE please give me the URLs also!!
VERY URGENT!!

depends how old you wanna go..
Guitars used to be some type of animal hair pulled round a stick, drums used to be sticks banged against hollow logs.
Pacific islanders still use traditional drums.
They make amazing sounds too.
