Google Code-in

In MusicBrainz, Instruments are entities just like Artists, Works, Labels and Places; they can be linked to each other and to external sites (usually Wikidata).

To facilitate the addition of more Instruments, we use a ticket tracker.

For this task, you should pick an open INST ticket and research as much as possible about that Instrument.

Good information is:

• What this instrument looks like. (Links to sites with reference pictures, sites that sell the instrument, etc.)
• Where it came from. (Country or area.)
• Usage and historical data. (Was it used traditionally? As a shaman-tool? As a toy?)
• How old it is. (Was it from the Renaissance or did it come from way before even the Middle Ages or is it a modern invention?)
• Who (if anyone) invented it, and when.
• Links to Wikidata and other databases.
• How it relates to instruments already in the database. (Is it a hybrid of the trumpet and ocarina? Is it a forerunner to the kazoo?) provide links to instruments.
• Be as concise as possible, lists are a good thing!

Note: All information must have sources provided!

Here is a good example of a well sourced INST ticket/comment: INST-484 - clavioline.

Add this information in a structured way, as a comment on the ticket. For this you will need an account on the ticket tracker. Provide the Instrument (INST) ticket link and sources.
