Basic information about instrument families and orchestra. Interactive. Can focus on specific instruments within families - not all are available, though. Nice website, succinct. Good visuals.
A series of videos containing interviews and demonstrations of each instrument in an orchestra. Some videos are longer than others, but they generally contain lots of information about how the instrument works and how it is played and sometimes information about the instrument’s history. Great website.
Long list of plucked string instruments from Africa with pictures. Also contains links to YouTube videos of people playing each type of instrument. Only plucked-string instruments, however.
A teacher’s guide (could definitely be used by students for research purposes) to African musical instruments. Contains mostly pictures and text. PDF document.
Lots of information about the ukulele including, chords, brief history, tunings, etc…. Not the most in depth website, but covers a wide range of topics
“The Rise and Fall (and Rise) of the Ukulele” from The Atlantic. Covers the rise in popularity of the ukulele, its fall from favor and its current resurgence in popularity. The Atlantic is a very reliable source.
