I've been running Linux for most of my adult life, and playing music since my teens, but not until recently have I thought to combine these. For me the construction, tuning and over all physics of musical instruments is just as important an interest for me as is the actual playing. Most of my focus nowadays is directed to the problem of how to tune a harmonica to play different styles of music, or at least most of my free-time focus; music and instruments are a hobby, while I make a living as a mathematician. There is some overlap between work and play, and questions like "Is there some tuning of a four-stringed fretted instrument that lets you accompany a four-chord-song using at most two fingers pressing one string at a time?" are not at all foreign to me, nor are more "real world" questions
My immediate reason to register here is that I recently bought a midi controller in the shape of a harmonica to better be able to try out various tunings much faster than on a "real" harmonica with reads, but my troubles with that can be found in a separate post.
This seems like a nice place
