Help with instruments

Question

Could I please have your help on vocab for instruments?

I know the basics, like guitar, drum, etc. But what I don't know are specifics, such as "streamlined guitar," or "foot switch."

Are there any helpful pages out there? I've been searching this site and Google both, but so far, I cannot find anything.

¡Muchas gracias!

Answer 1

Thank you so much for your help! I will definitely use your advice on searches to come.

Answer 2

Here's a tip: Google a term, such as "streamlined guitar," and include in the search string the words los and que, as that will give you sites that include Spanish (you can also use Advanced Search and set the language, but the first way is easier). Also, try to include any of the words in Spanish that you may know, such as guitarra.

Unfortunately, "streamlined guitar" does not seem to be a set term in English, and is merely descriptive, so the above method won't really work too well. On the other hand, searching for the string {"foot switch" los que} immediately gave me pedalera, which seems to be a guitar foot switch.
