Do I need an Instrument rating?

FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions
If you intend to fly professionally, we strongly recommend an Instrument rating. Until recently, helicopter Instrument ratings were the exception, not the rule. However, an increasing number of employers (and their insurance companies) now require that their pilots be Instrument-rated. We’re seeing a number of very experienced pilots returning to Quantum for their Instrument training.

Do I Need An Instrument?

Nasatir School of Percussion - FAQ - Nasatir School Of Percu...
If you are studying drums, the simple answer is NO. You will, however, need an inexpensive practice pad and a pair of sticks which we can provide at your first lesson. Eventually, though, you will need an instrument. This can be a stand alone snare drum or a full drum set. If you are studying mallet percussion, you will be fine for awhile if you already own a piano or keyboard. If you own neither, you will need a small xylophone (wooden bars) or a set of orchestra bells (metal bars).

We do not have an instrument. Do we need to buy one?

Music Academy in Pleasanton, Lessons in Piano, Guitar, Voice...
In the case of piano students, you do need to have some kind of piano or digital keyboard at home to practice on! For instrumentalists, we have rental instruments available. It would be a waste of your money to pay for lessons if your child cannot practice the other six days of the week. If you have questions about purchasing an instrument, our staff will be glad to advise you.

Do I need my own instrument for lessons and classes?

Creative Soul : School of Modern Music
Yes, you will need your own instrument. Our instructors can assist you in finding the right instrument to fit your needs and budget. Renting and borrowing instruments are also options to consider. A student can learn how to play guitar using either an acoustic or an electric because the notes and the chords are the same. We always advise the parent to get the opinion of the child if he has one, since for some children emulating their favorite artist will motivate them to practice more.

Where can I get my instrument serviced?

Frequently Asked Questions
If you call Gibson they will recommend Peekamoose Guitars out of New York City. They are an official Steinberger/Gibson service center, and continue to do a brisk Steinberger repair business to this day. They have contributed to this site and to our sister forum on Yahoo! Because working with graphite and phenolic fingerboards is totally different from wood, we recommend sending your instrument to a professional that has experience with these types of material.

What is my instrument worth?

Frequently Asked Questions
We are not appraisers by any means. We must say however, that we've found many of the 'official' sources for prices (Kelly Blue Book specifically) to be wildly inaccurate in terms of available models, options and costs. The best judge of value is the open market. eBay and Harmony Central often have Steinbergers for sale in varying types of condition. If you're really interested in determining the worth of your instrument, take note of what others of similar type, age and quality are going for.

Do I need to play an instrument to write songs?

Not really. Many songwriters just write melodies and lyrics and often partner with someone who does play an instrument. With that said, playing 'very basic' keyboard or guitar when writing songs can be extremely helpful.

Do I need to instrument my program for deadlock detection?

Sun Studio Express - Thread Analyzer FAQ
The Thread Analyzer detects data races at runtime. At compile-time, the compiler inserts instrumentation code into the executable, so data races can be detected at runtime. To detect data races at runtime, run the instrumented executable using the collect command. The Thread Analyzer detects (potential and actual) deadlocks at runtime, by keeping track of all the lock/unlock operations by the threads. No instrumentation of the code is required for deadlock detection.
