The instrument tree is the list of instruments that may be used with relationship types which use the instrument relationship attribute. As the list is very large, it is not included here. You can see the full list on the server.

You could refer to Musical Terms Translations or Credit Translations if you're searching translation of common musical terms.

New Instruments

If you can't find an instrument, please search the full list page first. Many instruments have multiple names but the instrument search doesn't currently support aliases.

If you still can't find the instrument you are looking for, new instruments are suggested and discussed on the requests page. An instrument will normally be added once five releases have been found. In cases where the instrument is documented as a clearly distinct instrument, we may decide to add instruments after only one release has been found. [1]

Please also add an annotation to the tracks or releases stating which relationships need fixing and what the instrument should really be, so that they can be fixed later once the instrument has been added (see Sub Optimal Credits for more information).

There is also a list of recently added instruments.
