Inspiration
Every so often while listening to a song, I'll wonder what an instrument is. And I keep telling myself I should learn to recognize more musical instruments.
What it does
Plays many of the more common musical instruments.
How I built it
The skill is coded in Node.js and hosted on AWS Lambda. Sound clips stored on AWS S3.
Challenges I ran into
I limited myself to sound clips in the public domain, licensed under Creative Commons 0. As a result, I couldn't find good sound clips for some instruments, such as the banjo, marimba and English horn. In addition, some of the sound clips I did find were very short.
Accomplishments that I'm proud of
I managed to find 40+ sound clips ranging from accordions to xylophones, castanets to maracas, fiddles to ukuleles.
What I learned
Got a little better at editing audio.
What's next for Musical Instruments
Add more instruments.
