Talk:Experimental musical instrument

message: I find it hard to believe that custom-made instruments are by their very nature, experimental, and thus find the entire premise of this redirection misleading.  Clearly, there is drastically more room for experimentation in a custom instrument, but sometimes somebody just wants a left-handed version of a hard-to-find model, or simply an instrument of the highest caliber.  I propose a new article.—Preceding unsigned comment added by Beastmouth (talk • contribs) 
:I agree. An "experimental" musical instrument differs from a factory-made one in concept, not only in detail or in quality. --DiderotWasRight (talk) 23:00, 30 March 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Agreed. I guess the article should just be called "Custom-made musical instrument".RichLow (talk) 18:58, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

text: Better, for sure, but it seems to me that this still does not address the fact that a builder may craft an otherwise perfectly ordinary instrument (say, a guitar), with personalized details (e.g., inlaid monogram or coat-of-arms) or even structural modifications ("left-handed" setup), thus producing a "custom made" but perfectly familiar product. (I cannot regard the recent manufacture of a few left-handed pianos as anything other than "custom made", though in all other respects perfectly ordinary.) Designing an entirely new instrument is quite a different thing, never mind that some people may use this unfortunately ambiguous expression expecting it to be understood in a narrower sense.—Jerome Kohl (talk) 22:59, 12 November 2018 (UTC)

message: Is the term 'third-bridge' original research? User:YuriLandman has been inserting this term into the article, however, afaik, it does not appear in any published source not authored by User:YuriLandman.  Is this OR that should be removed from the article?  Dlabtot (talk) 15:59, 20 March 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Could you please, on this talk page, quote the passage that uses the term, and give the page number?  Thanks in advance. Dlabtot (talk) 01:08, 21 March 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Ah I now see what you mean. The link is put in incorrect. Frith used an instrument with a locked 3rd bridge in the middle, I saw this before on wiki, but it has been deleted. I can't find it on internet anymore, sorry. It must be in some of his cd-booklet I suppose. The only thing I can find is that he used homemade instrument, but I can't find an explanation of how it looks like. The Elgart/Yates only mentions the technique, not the words 3rd bridge. page 4 by pinning it between a string and the nut, fretboard, soundboard or saddle of the guitar. If you have a better word than extra bridge, please replace it. I don't know how to call it else.YuriLandman (talk) 08:26, 21 March 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I think the issue is simply one of phrasing. "A third-bridge instrument" (in particular when written with the hyphen) makes this sound like a technical term, but in fact what is meant is only "an instrument that has a third bridge." Since "bridge" is a well-established term in common use when talking about instruments, I see no problem with the latter phrase. DiderotWasRight (talk) 23:02, 30 March 2008 (UTC)
replies: text:  If an instrument really is notable, shouldn't we describe it in the same terms as were used in the reliable source we're citing? Dlabtot (talk) 05:25, 31 March 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  Rubbing teeth 

message: Is there a link for that claim, or is it just common knowledge? edit: I'm guessing whoever put that in there was referring to Herbie Hancock who did the title sequence on the show. Unless we have evidence that he used it in that theme song, or it was used anywhere else throughout the show, perhaps it would better to simply list Hancock as an artist? I'm going to be bold and do it, but I have another question: do we have sources that actually prove the people in the "Artists" section are actually users of the"custom" instruments in the article?
