Show HN: Musiker.page – Interactive timeline of musicians by instrument

https://musiker.page

I built an interactive timeline showing the lives and connections of composers and performers, organized by instrument. Lifetime bars are color-coded by role, and curves show teacher-student and family relationships. Switch between piano, violin, and trombone, click anyone for their bio and portrait. It's a static React site with all data in JSON, so contributions are just a PR away. See https://github.com/pmatos/music-timeline

Nice job.

A small suggestion but it might be a good idea to rename Piano to something a bit more inclusive like Keyboard (which would include harpsichord, organ, pianoforte, etc) - since I initially did a double-take when I saw Buxtehude, a very well-known organist, in that category.
