====== Template for Instruments====== See also: [[:general:template_mfg]] Please use this "template" to organize the information in a similar manner--that will make it easier for the public to find pertinent info. But be flexible--sections may be added, deleted or renamed if they do not apply. You may wish to copy this "clean" template to paste into a new page: *[[/doku.php?id=:general:template_clean&do=edit|template]] \\ The "rule of thumb" is that each section should fit on about one screen--if there's too much info, just make references like [[more_info]], and then follow the link to create the new page(s). ====== [instrumentdesignation] ====== For [a similar or oft-associated instrument], see [[:organette:some_organette:]]. ... see [[:organette:some_organette:]] ===== History ===== The manufacturer's name and bio could be included here, but if the manufacturer is shared with another instrument, it may be better to reference like this:\\ The [instrument designation] was manufactured from 1800-1900 by [[:manufacturers:some_company:]] ... by [[:manufacturers:some_company:]] Provide history about this specific instrument--patents, production dates, quantities, serial numbers, etc. ===== Design ===== Different models might be expanded on separate pages: *[[model_1]] *[[another]] *[[model_1]] *[[another]] ===== Tuning Scale ===== Instruments which use this section will also be listed on the [[:scales:]] page. ===== [media] ===== What it plays: Rolls, Cylinders, Barrels, MIDI, etc. ===== Restoration ===== Tips, technical info, etc. ===== References ===== Specific references can always be included in footnotes((It's easy to create footnotes)) but if there's a lot of information, put it in a "References" section. ... footnotes((It's easy to create footnotes)) ===== See Also ===== References to other pages within MechanicalMusic.info, such as [[:organette:roller_organ:]] ... such as [[:organette:roller_organ:]] ===== External Links ===== *Other websites with information specific to this instrument.
