Violas and cellos have C strings. Derp. Can you tell what instrument family I'm least familiar with? Corrected! 41 minutes ago, Hemalurgic_Headshot said: And bassoons have a storm-ton of keys! Thirteen different keys just for your thumbs! Of course, some finger combinations are used twice to cover two octaves, but when you get to the extremes, fingerings get fun! Heh. Oboes are almost as bad; we have two different octave keys, meant to be played with totally different notes. And I have three different ways of fingering an F. But I think we didn't get loaded down as badly as bassoons just by virtue of having smaller instruments. Have you ever heard the P.D.Q. Bach bassoon quartet? There's a spot in the piece where the 4th bassoon has to play a note that's a half step lower than a bassoon can play. So one of the other players has to stand up and stick a cardboard tube into the 4th bassoon's bell. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Budgie Posted February 24, 2017 Report Share Posted February 24, 2017 2 hours ago, Kaymyth said: Minor keys use a different pattern, but they're a bit weird, as there are three versions of each type of minor key - natural, harmonic, and melodic. Honestly, there are textbooks out there that explain the differences between these better than I can off the top of my head. Yeah, those are pretty crazy... Natural minor is your 'normal' minor, where the scale goes M2, m2, M2, M2, m2, M2, M2, or lah-ti-do-re-mi-fa-so-la. Harmonic is exactly the same except the seventh note (so in solfa) is raised by a semitone (si in solfa). In a minor, that would mean G would become G sharp. Now, melodic minor is far weirder. In this scale, both the sixth and seventh note are raised by a semitone, but only when going up the scale. Going back down the scale, they become go back down to the original note. So, solfa: la-ti-do-re-mi-fi-si-la-so-fa-mi-re-do-ti-la. Whew. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quiver Posted February 24, 2017 Report Share Posted February 24, 2017 (edited) ... 'kay, haven't had a chance to set up a PM yet. But suffice to say, I will have questions. I don't suppose anyone has any Beginners Guides they could recommend? ... On a separate note, Nightwing, one of my favorite DC characters, is now scheduled to get a film. Considering the quality of the DCEU, I'm not sure how to react to that news. Edited February 24, 2017 by Quiver 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quiver Posted February 25, 2017 Report Share Posted February 25, 2017 Well, I just finished my first set at the archery range. First off all: ow. My hands and arms hurt. I think it was a longbow I used, but I still wasn't expecting the draw to be so much. Unfortunately, I don't have any fun stories. I NEARLY split an arrow, but that wasn't intentional, so even if it had happened, not something to brag about But... I enjoyed it. So, there's that. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are different sounds: C, Cis/Des, D, Dis/Es, E, F, Fis/Ges, G, Gis/As, A, Ais/B, H. Then you go back to C and all over. (technically F would be Eis and E would be Fes... if there was such a thing) This will be helpful: Between C and D there is a full tone. Between C and Cis there is a half tone. A tone is two halftones. An octave is 12 halftones. Halftone is the smallest distance between two tones. It's a music atom, kind of. Is this helpful? EDIT: Oh wait, you guys have B instead of H. Huh. But the rest still stands. ......what logic goes GAH? gah LOL. 1 hour ago, Quiver said: Well, I just finished my first set at the archery range. First off all: ow. My hands and arms hurt.
