Instrument sub-type
I was wondering if we could potentially include specific types of instruments, i.e. Wagner tuba sub-section for the Tuba instrument.

Would it be reasonable to add a section about Orchestras and their makeup?
I have a book called the "Oxford First Companion to Music" ISBN 0193143038 which includes a section on the arrangment of an orchestra alongside discussions of the instruments. Would it be reasonable to include something like that here? ShakespeareFan00 (discuss • contribs) 10:15, 18 April 2020 (UTC)

 * That could be a really cool idea. Qualified because this book needs two other important things too:
 * The book is clearly meant to have a page on each instrument.
 * The first step, I suggest, is to work out a template pattern for what each instrument page should look like. This can make a huge difference in the long-term viability of a book; for example, this book has been held back for years because it doesn't have such a template pattern; and Wikijunior:World Religions was held back for years because its template-pattern didn't work well in general, until a book-overhaul revised that pattern.
 * Then we'll want to write lots of individual instrument pages. With the right template-pattern, this can be quite fun and can result in lots of really neat, interesting pages for kids to read.


 * That's partly why I mentioned the Wikisource pages, Why write full articles if you can simplify from existing content :) ShakespeareFan00 (discuss • contribs) 11:39, 20 April 2020 (UTC)


 * Absolutely yes we can have some general pages on things like the arrangement of an orchestra. Some examples of similar books are Wikijunior:The Elements,  Wikijunior:Solar System.
