The lute's strings are arranged in courses, of two strings each, though the highest-pitched course usually consists of only a single string, called the chanterelle. In later Baroque lutes two upper courses are single. The courses are numbered sequentially, counting from the highest pitched, so that the chanterelle is the first course, the next pair of strings is the second course, etc. Thus an 8-course Renaissance lute will usually have 15 strings, and a 13-course Baroque lute will have 24. ,- Roxas Riku

Yes, they are lacquered and it can be removed and redone, but, it's not cheap.

Honestly, I would say don't fix it. Using the pinky hook promotes holding the trumpet improperly.

If you must have it fixed, take it to a repair shop; don't try to fix it yourself.

take it to a professional because you could seriously short out your digital piano

A person from central Spain is a Madrileno (with a tilde over the "n"). One from Madrid. Good luck!

A Leslie is a special tremolo that provides a distinctive lush, theatrical sound. It has been especially popular in evangelistic Christian churches and in rock and jazz settings. It was invented in the 1950s by Don Leslie, and makes use of the Doppler effect, which is what happens with the sound of a car on a highway approaching you, then driving away -- the sound not only gets louder, but rises in pitch as the car approaches, then the sound gets softer while also lowering in pitch as it drives away. Mr. Leslie accomplished this by placing a sort of spinning "scoop" in front of the speaker, causing the sound to be directed away from you, then toward you, then away.... The success of his design was a combination of the speaker, the "scoop", and the resonance of the cabinet. Virtually all organ manufacturers designed imitations, but none was successful in displacing the genuine Leslie speaker. The effect was particularly enjoyable when used for "round" tones, such as organ flutes, but the effect was much less popular when used for "buzzy" tones, such as reeds and strings. Since Hammond organs used flute-like tones exclusively until about 1970, Hammonds and Leslies were a "match made in heaven." Eventually both the Hammond and Leslie companies became a part of what is currently known as the Hammond Suzuki Company. If you listen quietly when the Leslie is turned on, you can hear the "scoop" spinning around. The normal tremolo speed is about seven cycles (or "throbs") per second. Many models also have a slow speed of only about one cycle per second that provides a subtle "movement" to the sound when you don't want a normal tremolo.

There could be a problem with your string winding technique. There are many different resources with diagrams showing how to restring a guitar properly. It could also be due to a problem with the actual tuner (at the top of the guitar headstock where the string is tightened) With age and stress- the components can become worn. In this case- you we need to repair or most likely replace the malfunctioning part.

Use a clean cloth!

An instrument to be able to really tell the value is mandatory that the instrument does not load the circuit making it a false reading or inaccurate

loading effect which means when we give high load that may be cause to some fake or inaccurate of output, this may be known as loading effect....

If you mean the Supernova synthesizer from the company Novation, then, YES! By definition, a midi guitar has either no, or very limited sound generation capabilities of its own and actually needs a MIDI device (such as a synth like the Supernova) to produce the actual sound. The Supernova is a MIDI synthesizer, and a darn good one! Basically your midi guitar will send midi "messages" to the SuperNova which will produce the sound (assuming of course that you have it hooked up to an amplifier, your PC soundcard w/speakers, or headphones, etc). Good luck!

Yes, I've heard of it.

Typically you do not tune them. The pitch can be changed by adding and removing material but this is very tricky. i would only try it for educational purposes. Probably better to order a new bar from themanufacturer if possible.

It is not unusual for a bell lyre to be a little out of tune and will vary with the pressure in which it is struct. It is kinda part of the nature of the sound.

There should be a "signal out" from your board. Monitor send, effects loop. Any number of outputs from a mixer you could use to run another power amp and speakers. Some power amps have a signal out line. Do not hook the speaker outputs to another amp unless you like smoke.

C should be the middle key on your keyboard,known as middle C.The other C keys will be 7 white keys above and below...but Im no expert.

• Put screws (and other parts) in a safe tray or container so they won't roll away, blow away, get lost.
• Keep track of which size screw came from which screw hole so you don't put it into the wrong size hole leaving a loose screw or a stripped plastic screw hole.
• It may even be a good idea to keep track of where each screw came from as some screws are very close in size.

If its a stringed instrument like a violin or guitar, they're called a luthier. Don't think there is any special word for trumpet maker or clarinet maker. Trumpet artisan might work.

you hold down the black reset button located on the instrument cluster for 4 seconds, then scroll down to the tire reset, let go of the reset then hit it for each tire.

When attempting to readjust the neck contour of your guitar keep a few things in mind. Let's start at the same place....the body of the guitar, preferrably the strap button. Hold the guitar so that the headstock is pointing slightly skyward and get a good look at the neck. I always use the strings as a guide. Since there is only a straight line between two points, this is a good way to see just what needs done. As you are looking from the end of the guitar to the headstock you can see that the strings are perfectly straight. Then get a good look at the neck and compare them. More often than not, the neck has a "back bow" or too much relief in it. It looks like it's sagging in the middle? At which point, you tighten the truss rod. If it looks like there's a hump from about the sixth fret to the somewhere around a 11th or 12th fret, the neck has not enough relief in it, you should loosen the truss rod. How to do that? Easy as pie......from the other end of the guitar (looking from the headstock towards the body) turn the truss rod counter-clockwise to loosen it and clockwise to tighten it. HOWEVER be very careful to not over do it. A lot of do it yourself jobs end up in my shop because people don't realize that this should be done by someone with some experience. If you over do it or strip the truss rod out....it's bye-bye guitar time. So only turn the truss rod a quarter of a turn at a time. Let the guitar set up for about 20 minutes or more and start over. Checking the neck contour to monitor progress. Until you get the hang of it, it takes a lot of time and patience. But rest assured that you won't be throwing guitars away left and right while you're honing your new skill.

the snares on a snare drum are on the outside of the drum. the causes the vibration to not be affected by the accoustics

===================================================

Snares are located on the outside of the bottom head.

Replacing a set neck is difficult and expensive. You would have to determine whether the neck absolutely needs to be replaced. It should be done by a professional and you would need to compare the cost of the repair with the cost of replacing the guitar.

Just buy the Fender instead of the Squier. From the description, you're probably looking at a Fender '72 Telecaster Deluxe, with two "wide range" humbuckers and four control knobs.

You can modify a Squier, but the cost of the modifications and the parts will probably exceed the cost of the guitar. And there is never any guarantee that the resulting sound will be good until you've already paid for and completed the modification. Also, a Squier depreciates in value pretty much the second you take it out of the store. A Fender, even a Mexican one, will hold its value better.

When in doubt, just buy the guitar that already has the sound and feel you want.

That's not a question that can be answered over the internet. Maybe something went wrong inside it, or maybe it wasn't an amazing amp to start with... Mine does it too, though, and I think most amps hum a bit.

-

Some hum on cheaper amps can be expected. If it hums when nothing is plugged into the amp, and it's louder than soft background noise when you aren't playing, most likely it's either an internal grounding issue or a filter capacitor needs to be replaced. You should take it in to have it repaired.

If it only hums when your guitar is plugged in, you have a grounding issue with your guitar or cables. Remember, single coil pickups like those found on a Fender Jazz bass are likely to pick up a lot of noise, which could cause hum.
