Project News

• This is the premiere issue of the Musical Instrument WikiProject Newsletter! A very special thanks needs to go out to all those editors and authors who have helped with this continuing effort.
• Input is still very much needed throughout the project. Please spend a few minutes perusing the pages and familiarizing yourself with the project. As you surf through, remember to check the talk pages, and please add your input on the discussions!
• As a reminder, our project uses Assessment grading with a quality and importance scheme. This means that our project is participating in the WP:1.0 project. We could always use your help tagging new articles, and assessing and improving the ones we already have tagged!

As a reminder, input is needed in our discussion areas. Your efforts with the articles are very important, but the organization and stability of this project is dependent on the participation of its members - you!
