Talk:Orchestral percussion

message: I'm unsure of the main definition here; all percussion instruments could potentially be used in orchestras. And hence is the main aim of the article in obscurity. I see three possibilities for the subject of this article:
1. A historical survey of the use of percussion in orchestras.
2. A focus on percussion instruments mainly associated with orchestral use and seldomly used elsewhere, eg timpani and the largest forms of bass drums. 
3. The education and praxises of percussionists associated with orchestral applications.
WikiPBia (talk) 10:35, 18 July 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Since nobody have commented yet I feel I should clarify: The current content is almost a redudant summary of the Percussion article and is not sufficiently applied to the orchestral use. But to improve the aim of the article should be clarified I think. WikiPBia (talk) 15:14, 21 July 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Agree. It also overlaps the percussion section article. Unsure of the best approach. Andrewa (talk) 07:23, 1 July 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: Agree too. The article doesn't cite any sources and it's too subjective. I think this article could be made a redirect to the percussion section, because it's pointless to have two articles with the same content – Soaku (talk) 12:52, 5 January 2020 (UTC)
thread_title:  Main definition? 

message: Just changed the description of Bolero from "perhaps the most demanding" snare piece to "somewhat demanding." While the part may be famous, even "somewhat demanding" is a stretch: it consists entirely of two repeated measures which should not pose a challenge for any minimally competent percussionist, and it is certainly nowhere near the "most demanding." Nevertheless, I'm mentioning my change here in case it's at all controversial. Ethanstraffin (talk) 09:47, 18 November 2013 (UTC)

Talk:Organetto

message: I believe two kinds of organetto are mixed up in this article
  1. Organetto (= portative organ  from middle ages / renaissance)
  2. organetto (= member of accordion family = popular folk music instrument

Type 2 organetto has a (metal) reeds

message: I don't think that's true.  I can think of no mechanical reason that a portative couldn't play more than one note at once.  I'm an organist.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Iohannes Grammaticus (talk • contribs) 23:53, 2 June 2018 (UTC)
thread_title:  "Could play only one note at once" 

message: A Wikipedia page cannot be simultaneously about two unrelated subjects. There are two possible ways to remedy this situation: this page can either become a disambiguation page that links to portative organ and to a new "organetto (accordion)" page, or this page can become about the accordion and link to portative organ. I have chosen the latter option.
Of the 60 pages that link here (although admittedly many of those only do so because of the reed instrument template) only three refer to a portative organ, and another one is unclear. The rest all refer to a diatonic accordion. Additionally, the French and German versions of this page both refer exclusively to the accordion. It is clear that organetto is most commonly understood as an accordion, and therefore it seems better to me make this page about the accordion rather than make it into a disambiguation page.

Talk:Pungi

message: "At the top of the gourd (the large round part of the light bulb), a piece of reed or marsh plant with a ½ inch diameter and a length of 2 ½ inches are stuck into the top hole. This reed or marsh plant is called the jivala, which resembles a flute. The jivala is seven inches long with seven holes along its shaft"
This is, I think, self contradictory. The picture shows a tube around 7 inches long extending from the gourd. Should that initial dimension of  2 ½ inches be a range from  2 ½ inches to seven inches or more? perhaps?

message: At least in standard tuning it isn't.  There may be some variant tunings that are re-entrant, although I've never heard of anyone using them.  And anyway, the tuning on /any/ stringed instrument could be varied in a non-standard way to make it "re-entrant," but that doesn't necessarily make that instrument a good example of reentrant tuning in general.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.92.174.105 (talk) 02:56, 23 February 2013 (UTC)

thread_title:  Merge from [[octave key]] 

message: "Oboes are now available with automatic octaves. This involves extra keywork that frees the player from having to bother with an octave key at all."This phrasing seems to suggest that you don't need to bother with any octave keys at all, whereas even on full automatic oboes, of course you still have to use the octave key for the second octave (E5 to C6), and have to know where to use the third one, if available. The only advantage the full automatic systen has is that it switches automatically between first and second key. You still have to use Nos. 1 and 3...  Maybe the thumbplate system should be mentioned as well? -- megA (talk) 15:51, 16 January 2012 (UTC)

Talk:Rhaita

message: In my googlings, I'm coming up with mention of the ghaita as a "bagpipe" (and not by the name "mizwad" either).  Are the writers mistaken, or is there a bagged version of the ghaita?  It seems a pretty fair guess that the Spanish term "gaita" comes from that source, but where does the bag come in?  If there is a bagged version, it'd be great to cite reference and mention it in the article.MatthewVanitas (talk) 21:03, 22 April 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Actually, Grove says that the Arabic term "ghaita" comes from the Gothic language gait, meaning "goat." I assume the term came from the Visigoths into Spain, then to Morocco from Spain. The Basque algaita probably got the term from Gothic, though perhaps also from Al-Andalus. I've written to the scholar writing on these issues, and he wouldn't answer how he knows this. Regarding a bagged versin of the Moroccan rhaita/ghaita, it's possible but I've never heard of such. There are examples of instruments with the same name (such as elsewhere in the Arabic world), one a reed pipe and another a bagpipe. Badagnani (talk) 21:08, 22 April 2008 (UTC)
