Default how to search for unknown instrumental

Dear Friends
I would like 2 share these ideas with u hope u find it useful

I was having the same problem figuring with the instrumentals that i have been searching for. Although in instrumentals it is extremely hard to trace ; below are some tips that i personally use
- As soon as you hear it - go to the source immediately and ask for not only the name as names in instrumentals are frequently repeated but also the composer or group .We say in arabic: a minute of imbarrasement is less painful than a year of headache !
- Try to identify the main instrument in the instrumental ie pan flute - then u may search for it under that instrument main players (ie zamfier for pan flute)
- Try to telephone the radio station immediately for info if u hear it through radio
- Known and famous instrumentals usually played in many forms : Piano-flute - violen - orchestra - thus once u catch the name the variations in the instruments is easy to trace
- There are many instrumental compilations for sale or DL - u will likely be lucky to find what u are looking for in these compilations. Imagin i have just downloaded a file named the best 200 albums of instrumental music ( 35 GB) containing more than 4000 instrumentals pieces
- Last but not least :share it with people with mutual interest and remember that most 60s and70s instrumentals were played by James last and paul Mauriat orchestras - so u can check those first

Good luck hunting
