I've noticed a lot of project creators wanting to commission something specific from composers, but having a hard time figuring out how to properly communicate their ideas.
I'm hoping this thread will help people. Here you can feel free to ask questions about music, such as the terminology of a certain technique used, or name of an instrument. Hopefully others will pick up on the questions and answers we post here, and it should be able to benefit the music community as a whole.
You should also feel free to post guides, and I will add them to this post.
Format
In order to keep things simple and easy to search, I recommend those asking questions to put "Q:" at the beginning of their post. As for those answering questions, I do recommend quoting the answer in question, and adding "A:" at the beginning of the answer.
For example:
A: One does not simply music. One must understand music as well.Q: How do I music?
As for myself, here's my question:
Q: What is the name of the instrument at 0:00 - 0:10 and the instrument at 1:01 in this song?

Saya no Uta - Sabbath
Someone told me the one at 1:01 is a Celesta, although I'm convinced it's a Xylophone. Perhaps someone could correct us please? Also, I don't know the name of the instrument at the beginning. Anyone know? Thanks!
