Cloud flying in gliders appears to be legal in Finland.
Would you do it?
(The way the rules are set up in the United States, it would be very difficult for a 'pure glider pilot' to get an instrument rating. You would probably have to do it the long way...get a rating in powered aircraft, etc.)
Píobaireachd, "piping", also spelt pibroch (in Lowland Scots), is an art #Music that emerged during the 16th century. The music was likely older, originating from clàrsach ceòl mór, transferring to fiddle, to the Great Highland #Bagpipes, and then developing to match the technical abilities of the #Instrument. The overall format is basic slow theme plus ever-expanding variations, up to 20 at times, so píobaireachd pieces can be fairly lengthy.

I watched this little exploration of the nyckelharpa yesterday. It even has a short explanation of the rhythm of polskas, which are often asymmetric. I really like the way they managed to capture the sound of the #instrument, including the sympathetic strings and key noises. Good stuff.
The "weirdest" setting I've seen nyckelharpa being played in was gamelan, where it did the balungan (skeletal melody) plus drone, which worked rather well.

This is the Ova by StoneWhistle. Essentially it's a very low bass #ocarina, and I mean LOW as in 65Hz or C2. It's also a percussion #instrument similar to the udu or ghatam, or both at the same time even. The decoration is terra sigillata and some cleverness involving blowing bubbles onto the surface (please help me describe that for the alt text). I'll write some more about it later, including audio; y'know, once I've spent some time with it.
An evocative improvisation "the sacred wings" by by Olena Uutai on #flute, voice, khomus (jawharp) and electronica, including various bird calls. Uutai has been playing the khomus, the national #instrument of Sakha (formerly Yakutia), since she was 7.
"Soundful and precious to our hearts, with the shivering tongue, with the iron stick dinging like a string, making a hundred various sounds." (sakhan poem about the khomus)

11/52 Harmony in E flat
Two photographers, two minds - who both had the same idea. Funny enough. So we did the shooting together on Sunday. Once again a great opportunity to see how different the results can be when photographing the same subject. Thank you @marion4life and I'm looking forward to your interpretation of this wonderful instrument.
Absolutely mesmerising!
Madhuvanti Pal with a full ddhrupad instrumental performance in rāg yaman on the Rudra veena. Beginning her Hindustani classical #music journey on the violin and bansuri she eventually felt drawn to the large and rare Rudra veena. After struggling with her first #instrument, she decided to study with a master builder and learn how to make her own. And the one she plays here very skilfully sounds truly amazing!

She's a mermaid hermit and she has a pet fire shrimp!
She salvaged this instrument from a shipwreck and decided to try creating some underwater music.
This piece was inspired by a track I found on youtube

The ramkie, AKA blik kitaar or oilcan #guitar is an #instrument from South Africa, Namibia, Botswana, Zambia and Malawi. First mentioned in 1730 among the Khoekhoe, it derives from a lute, possibly the nanthuni, brought to the Cape by slaves from Malabar, southwestern India. Originally it had a gourd body, which later was replaced with an oilcan or similar. The name ramkie likely derives from the Portuguese rabaquinha (little violin).

Hi #Musicians of #Mastodon
Can anyone recommend a decent place to try to sell my 90s acoustic Tama Rockstar 7-piece (with 2nd bass drum) kit with 5 cymbals?
Facebook Marketplace glitched on me and refused to accept my phone number to allow me to place a listing.
„Allein unter Zithern gibt es eine ungeheure Vielfalt, aber allen ist gemein, dass unser aller Sinne und Seelen mitschwingen in ihrem Klang, ebenso wie uns alle die gleiche Luft verbindet, und wir alle ein Herz in uns tragen, das schlägt.
Musik ist mehr als Rauschen. Am Leben sein ist mehr als Existenz.“
