Blocks for instruments
I've done a little research, and found that there are five instruments, and that each once can be reached through several different blocks being underneath, as follows:
Piano
- Dirt
- Wool
- Air
- Reeds
- Leaves
- Water
Drum
- Stone
- Cobblestone
- Furnace
- Obsidian
- Netherack
- Half-block
Guitar
- Wood
- Wood planks
- Chest
- Bookshelf
- Fence
- Note block
High hat
- Sand
- Gravel
- Mud
Something else, not sure what
- Glass
I also tested it above a workbench, and it doesn't make a sound. Anything else, I've not tested. Use how you will. Chilari 19:05, 13 January 2011 (UTC)
Wiring Image
Can someone please upload this and add it under the wiring, with the caption "How to wire a Note Block." or something similar? Thanks. Link: http://i53.tinypic.com/28jureg.png -FragPl0x 14:20, 13 January 2011
- First of all, learn to sign your comments!
- Secondly I don't see any need for the image; it appears to follow the standard Redstone wiring conventions. - SoNick (Talk | Contribs) 22:42, 13 January 2011 (UTC)
Image and Caption
This page is already fairly comprehensive, but might I add am image with a short explanation of how using note blocks and a clock generator you can make a repeating musical sequence? Or does that belong on the Circuits/Mechanisms page?
- I'd like that! --Flippeh 03:28, 15 January 2011 (UTC)
Have any of you heard an actual instrument before?
I just updated the instrument names and removed the "Rhodes" keyboard one. I checked the sound files and there are 7 sound files, 2 of which are similar enough to other instruments that they're practically duplicates, so there are 5 instruments. Secondly, checking the names of the files indicates that the all other blocks instrument is called harp (it has a similar sounding file called pling as well), so we should probably go with harp, since that's also what it actually sounds like. Secondly, I changed 'marimba' to double bass for similar reasons. I have absolutely no idea how anyone could confuse a double bass for a marimba, however. Whoever made that mistake, your hearing is bad and you should feel bad. --Yourself 07:21, 14 January 2011 (UTC)
- I'm guessing one of the two sounds, that you thought were similar enough, to be the same as another; is the unique sound the note block makes, when placed on another note block. Perhabs that should be mentioned? Edit: Could be, that it's supposed, to be a 12 stringed guitar! --Mr FJ 14:21, 14 January 2011 (UTC)
Youtube Videos
I understand that people are excited that Notch added Note Blocks, and it provides the autistic in all of us to create some pretty neat songs using said Note Blocks, but I don't think we need THAT many Youtube Links... Shay 15:32, 14 January 2011 (UTC)
- Well.. here's an epic one, started by a single switch :)

- I shrunk all the links down to make the page flow better. It looks better without a bunch of random Youtube links spread around. Please shrink all future Youtube links on this page with single brackets. [http://www.youtube.com/YoutubeLink] Shay 00:38, 15 January 2011 (UTC)
