I play the double bass, electric bass, most brass instruments - with a preference for the low - and some other instruments, as well as sing (choir, รก capella and solo). I know a fair bit of music theory and arranging, as well as some musical acoustics. I have a huge crush on musical instruments in general. My main focus is jazz and related genres, but I find myself in other contexts now and then.

comment Is this note in Für Elise an E or a D?
+1 Maybe change "and has D in almost every case" into "and has D everywhere but the first time and its repeat" to be more specific?

comment How can I easily manage different tunings?
+1. I would think that the different guitars actually help as a subconscious visual, audial and sensory trigger: your mind says "Ah this is the guitar with this tuning and fingering".

comment Drum machine with an API (Ruby would be awesome!)
I would guess that pretty much all (software) drum machines and sequencers are controllable through MIDI, so using some MIDI API (for Ruby) you should be able to feed them appropriate tempo change messages at times of your choice by also listening to timing messages from the MIDI device.

comment What scale is this?
Perhaps edit into "A mixolydian b6" to point out that this is the scale starting on A as per the question? (Which happens to use the same note material as the ascending D melodic minor scale, and also is a consequence of the tonic being D minor.)

comment Learning flute as a saxophone player
You probably know or have noticed that on the flute the fingering doesn't repeat at the octave as it does on the saxophone but "alternate" fingerings are used.
