Welcome to the Musical Instruments WikiProject, a collaboration area and group of editors dedicated to improving Wikipedia's coverage of Musical Instruments.
As we have just formed, we will likely be discussing this very matter once we have a workable number of participants. Please see the guideline page for further discussion.
Please feel free to add your name to this list of members and honoured guests. There is no minimum or maximum participation level, these two divisions are for you to determine where you believe you would fit best.
It would also help the project if you would indicate any areas of particular interest. This way, if there is an article that may especially interest you, you could be notified of the required assistance.
NOTE: Italicized dates immediately after the username indicates when the name was first added to this list.
