Due to the fact the last Double Bass has been named "Minifigure, Utensil
Musical Instrument Double Bass...", I was wondering if all the others
Musical Instruments could be named like this one, with "Musical Instrument"
in the name, without forgetting Road signs with stickers for a banjo, tile with
piano keys, tile round Tambourine...

I collect every Musical Instruments and I am pretty sure I am not the only one
to do that, it's a faster way to find them

I added every of them in a wanted list and would be able to do these changes,
only if Catalog associates would be agree, of course !

Thank you,

Nicolas

Hello,

I added Musical Instrument to the name of this part on purpose as I suspect most
of us would not pick up this piece and think: "Oh! Of course, a Double Bass!"
My own knowledge went no further than violin or cello.

This is where having tags for items would be useful. Then you could tag all the
items that are musical instruments with a "musical instrument" tag.

This would be much better for a tag system, but I don't believe that one
will be coming along any time soon (if ever).

As I actually rather like this idea, we would have to modify the current item
names to include the "Musical Instrument" moniker. Since there are not
that many of them, I could easily get it worked out behind the scenes. Also,
the "Musical Instrument" moniker would only be applied to complete molded
instruments and their patterned versions. It would not be applied to *parts*
of instruments, such as a section of a piano keyboard, etc.

Do you have a full list of all of the musical instrumentsthat you could send
me?

Cheers,
Randy

There was rumor of a tag system being developed last year:
https://www.bricklink.com/message.asp?ID=1338567

But I wouldn't get too excited; the catalog's changed very little (functionally)
in the eight or so years I've been here. Doesn't mean it never will,
though.

From what I understand, 'Coming soon' now means: We absolutely mean to
build that, but first we must rebuild and reinforce and integrate the entire
infrastructure of the site.

So, it'll be a minute, or maybe a bit longer.
