| [[Tinkerer]]- A person who takes an existing instrument and alters it to their needs, often done as an experiment. This is distinct from [[Prepared]] which is describing a temporary and reversible alteration, while tinkerers tend to make more permanent alterations.

| [[lowercase]]- The use of very quiet materials as musical instruments. this is most often significantly amplified. There is often a material philosophy of hearing essential sounds of those objects. \\ | [[lowercase]]- The use of very quiet materials as musical instruments. this is most often significantly amplified.

| Good terminology for the makers who intentionally remove and replace elements of expensive to make instruments in order to create low cost (hardware store) copies. This approach is dependent on reducing instruments down to sound making principles and removing unnecessary elements (in terms of that goal) and replacing them with less expensive or easier to make alternatives. For example using thin plywood instead of solid boards of spruce in string instruments or using ABS tubing instead of bored out tropical hardwoods in woodwinds. This approach is closely related to DIY instruments and often has an aesthetic look in common. This approach is also strongly counter to instrument makers who focus on the material culture of the instruments they make and the instruments are dependent on the use of culturally relative materials in the instrument construction. | Good terminology for the makers who intentionally remove and replace elements of expensive to make instruments in order to create low cost (hardware store) copies.

| - | the practice of making archeological recreations of musical instruments. The practice of recreating ancient instruments and attempting to work out how they were made and what they should sound like. This paractice is highly dependent on attempting to accurately make tools and materials that were used in the original archeological examples. This is a kind of experimental archeology. Examples include the works of Roberto | + | the practice of making archeological recreations of musical instruments.
