Instrument of the Day
Each day, a different recording is selected, and you have six guesses to identify the instrument.
About this project
In this project, I explored the world of daily puzzle games in a unique subject area that sits at the intersection of several of my interests: a musical instrument guessing game. Similar to games like Wordle or Worldle, there is a correct instrument that players try to guess, and their only information is an audio recording of that instrument playing. This site features a variety of instruments, from the more common guitar, piano, and trumpet to the lesser-known (at least in the West) erhu, carillon, and pipa.
The recordings are all sourced from public-domain material available on IMSLP, and they cover a wide variety of instruments, styles, composers, and periods in musical history. This was a fun experiment in exploring early game concepts, and one I was proud to share with friends to see who is the most musically knowledgeable.
