MusicalGearSurvey Posted July 6, 2017 Posted July 6, 2017 Dear fellow musicians In online boards, we musicians extensively discuss about instruments and gear, often with quite some passion. These discussions range from the suitability of certain instrument models for specific genres to the size of one’s instrument collection. Research has not yet paid special attention to such discussions. This is quite surprising as there is a lot to be learned about musical and music-related practices, e.g. what motivates musicians to collect instruments, how do we use our gear to develop our musical identity and what criteria do we regard as important when acquiring a new instrument. As musicians (guitarists, bassists and drummers) and musicologists, we aim to explore this interesting issue with an online survey. We need as many participants as possible. Being dependent on your assistance, we kindly ask you to fill in our survey. The instruments considered are guitars, bass guitars, drums, keyboards, saxophones and trumpets. The survey should take about 20 minutes and the responses are completely anonymous. All data are used exclusively for academic (non-commercial) research in music. There is no funding involved. As musicians ourselves, we are interested to research this subject. By taking part in the study, you are supporting two academics in the early phases of their careers! We have been given permission by the moderators to post our survey in this board. If you are interested in participating, please follow this link to visit the survey: [url="https://www.soscisurvey.de/musicalgear/?r=11"]https://www.soscisur...sicalgear/?r=11[/url] Thank you very much for your support! Best wishes from Germany, Jan and Jonas Quote
Froggy Posted July 6, 2017 Posted July 6, 2017 DON'T DO IT! IT'S A TRAP! Going by the questions the two chaps are obviously working on a cure for GAS! Done btw, don't tell me if you do cure GAS 😎 Quote
anzoid Posted July 6, 2017 Posted July 6, 2017 Done. And don't worry Froggy... GAS can't be cured, only suppressed Quote

GAS can't be cured, only suppressed [/quote] When I flashed past this post on the way down to the reply box I thought it said GAS could only be cured by suppositories That would be a concern. Done by the way. Why the Q on kids living at home? Quote

[/quote] I suspect it's on the theory this would likely reduce the disposable income you may have to spend on new gear! Edited July 7, 2017 by gazhowe Quote
