Does Anyone play an Instruments?

[Endlessnight500]

I play the Viola:thumbsup:, and I'm working a little on bass and guitar. I'm also thinking about buying a piano, violin, and cello. So I can get an all around feel of things. I love music. There is something so rewarding about it. I don't know. I'm just a hobbiest, but I wanted to know if anyone else plays anything, and what they play.:smilewave

[Hln D]

You play the viola?! That's AWESOME, there aren't enough viola players in the world :)

I play the piano, oboe, drums, and ukulele. I also try to sing a bit :p I tried to play the guitar once but I found it really hard and unrewarding, because I'm left handed and couldn't afford a proper lefty guitar.

I'm a hobbyist for the drums and ukulele, although I will start getting drum lessons soon. I'm currently working on grade 8 piano (uuugh >.<) and will start grade 6 oboe when I'm back at school (double uuuugh >.<)

[moonlight]

I play the Clarinet, but haven't played since I left school.
I used to play the drum in the cadet band.

[nodoubtjunkie]

everything i play sounds like a cat been strangled.


yes, i can even make drums sound like that.


i'm such a musical failure :'(

[jony8472]

I used to do piano and got up to grade 3 (AMEB standard)

but have since stopped=P

And I did clarinet for a year... but never did anything particularly exciting there=P

[heatqueen]

Piano, violin, singing. :D

I'd also love to play the clarinet, harp and drums :) Well, maybe when I'm older...

[Ronnie92]

I play Alto Sax. and I used to play piano but I stopped. But my dad is reteaching and all is good

[-Michael-]

I play guitar.

Im not good but leave me for half an hour with a song and i can play it.
:)

Im a lefty...
My guitar cost like £180 or something.
But you can still get decent lefty guitar for around £100
(electric that is)

[Nevermind]

I play guitar badly, and i'm learning drums, surprisingly i seem to be a natural, i've finall found an instrument i don't suck at!

[Green Eyes]

I play bass great, guitar good, and drums... Not good, nor bad.

[Lexington]

I can futz around on the piano OK. (I only took lessons for ELEVEN years - you'd think I'd be better.) I'm OK on a synth, but not great. I'm actually pretty good on a pipe organ - I've played in a church. :)

I tried bass, but sucked at it, so gave it away. I do play a killer tambourine, though.

[Bookmarked]

I can play the piano. If you use "play" to describe the perversion I inflict upon the artist's vision. I ended up taking about five years of lessons to please my mother, who had this image of me serenading her in her old age. When I wasn't producing grandchildren that is. Seems I was a disapointment on two counts.

I still love to tinkle on the old ivories every now and then.

[Vic]

I can "play" a song or two on the piano.
I tried flute and drums years ago, but was crappy at both.

[partietraumatic]

i play the guitar,and have done for about 4 1/2 years i think. I like to think im pretty good lol,i can play most things pretty quickly and given a bit of time even the more difficult things i can get. i do find it really rewarding to sit down and just play..it relaxes me. I found it difficult to start with but then i remember at a certain point,it might have been around 2 or 2 1/2 years i suddelny had a breaj through and improved loads really quickly which was awesome and made me feel it had been worth sticking with :)

[NathanHaleFan]

I play the piano, the clarinet, the soprano sax, the alto sax, and the bass clarinet all proficiently. Then there's the indian flute, the recorder, and the zither that I own... but you can't say that I "play" them.

I also sing (bass).

[silentsound]

I play guitar mainly, although I mess on the ukulele as well as all kinds of Guatemalan flutes and percussion I've picked up through various mission adventures. Oh, and I sing. I love music, it is so meditative.

[Behling]

I play guitar and bass and am my bands lead singer as well ^_^

[Alexander]

Oboe. I'm going to an arts school this fall to study it.

And piano, clarinet, viola, percussion (no, I really do play it, not just bang around).

[crimsonarcher]

Yeah, I play violin and piano/keyboard.
I want to learn how to play guitar, but most of all, THE CELLO!!
I won't die happy if I haven't learned how to play the cello.
That's how desperate I want to play it!
:)

[BitterEdge]

I play the trombone...what I wouldn't do to learn guitar though.

[amyleona]

you ready for this?

bells and chimes (boo-yea! used to ba able to to 4 at a time, but i havent played in a chorus for 2 years, but i still can play every single one. yes, even the ones you need two hands for), voice (alto and tenor, but i want to be able to do saprano and opera), recorder (havent for a while, i can play scotland the brave though!), VERY little guitar (and i mean very little), and i can fake piano (sometimes...and i can play an impecable begining of für elise).

im trying to convince my mom to let me take guitar, but i dont think ill have any extra time this year.

[unsure13]

I play the clarinet, piano, and guitar, but I am better at the piano and clarinet than the guitar. I would love to learn how to play the violin though.

[Arrk]

Play quite a few.

Piano- 5 years
Clarinet- 2 years
Flute- 1 year
Alto/Tenor Sax-1 year

I've played the viola and recorder but I forgot them a long time ago.

I really want to learn the oboe and bass though.
Maybe guitar but I prefer those I said before. :]

My favorite instrument has to be the sax though.
I'd buy a baritone but they're REALLY expensive. :[

[-Michael-]

I can baffle with piano and get some tunage going...

dont ask me any technical quesitons though...

...i just learnt The girls - Calvin Harris on the guitar...

I was proper stressing...then i relised its like 4 chords...

:D ...

[EthanS]

I started to play the keyboard ^_^ learning dbz GT

[Trumpetplyer23]

I've been playing the trumpet for almost five years now.

I've played trombone and guitar for two.

I sing a little bit, but I'm not really really great, but I don't sound bad either.

[Endlessnight500]

WOOT for all the people who Play/Played Viola its the love of my life lol. I'm suprised at how many people responded to this tread already.

[Jebs]

The triangle.

[Absentminded]

I play guitar, and bass guitar, both which I'm pretty good at. I play 12 string acoustic guitar too.

[XXX Lou XXX]

I've been playing guitar for almost 2 years. I'm not brilliant at it but i'm not that bad either. I've tried piano but i'm terrible, and I want to learn the drums but can't actually afford any.

[cityboy340]

violin for 13 years (I can't believe its been THAT long...)
but I wish i played piano...

[matt3208pc]

I played trumpet for a year and half from year 7 to year 8. Wish i kept going with it. I REALLY REALLY wish i could play piano though, and am thinking of learning it.

[Smiley1123]

Clarinet, a bit of piano, guitar and working on my singing :)

[kp1832]

I played French Horn for 8 years.

[Wander]

I have a trumpet my aunt gave to me, but I hardly ever use it. I can't remember the last time I brought it out of the case, actually.

I also play a little bit of the piano, all self-taught. I've never been to lessons and I wouldn't want to, I'm not THAT interested. Waste of time and money. But I still teach myself little pieces of songs I like every now and then. I'm not that good and the process is slow, but it's something.

[mikeh]

I took piano lessons for 1 year in elementary school... that was like torture. But as an undergrad I took piano for a music requirement, found I really like it, stayed with it for 3 years. I don't have a huge repertoire, but did work up to some fairly complex pieces. Still not great at sight reading, and a lot of technique yet to learn.

[MusicIsLife]

Flute. I'm decent at it, not amazingly great or anything. I'd love to learn bass properly though, i fiddled around with it a few years ago and i want one of my own now D:

[beyondken]

I seem to specialise in things with frets (especially guitar in many styles, banjo, ukulele and mandolin) and am somewhat proficient at things with keyboards (piano, organ, etc.) but never took the formal technique practice seriously enough and while I've got the theory downpat and can sight-read, my fingers are pretty unresponsive to my brain on piano (mainly because for about a decade I've only had a very out of tune one to practice on).

Word on the street is I have an alright sense of rhythm, but confront me with anything more complex than triplets and semi-quavers on paper and I go all jelly-like. This makes me a good guitarist, but a bad pianist.

I also tootle on things with fipples (recorder, etc.), or diatonic harmonica, and have dreams of playing other things with reed-type things, particularly bari or alto sax and accordion.. just need the money/right shops (ever tried to browse for piano-accordions in Melbourne? fruitless if you're the slightest bit picky).

In the past I have played big noisy brass things and classical strings. Haven't been so great with the wooden ones for a long time and had to stop playing brass due to lack of access, but want to resume.. again, need money.

I cannot sing, but when I pretend to it's tenory or in really bad falsetto. I think. My ear for melody is pretty good ("playing by ear", etc.), but not quite so much for different octaves.. which makes me look really dumb in surprisingly many situations (such as tuning up any completely detuned string instrument).

I dream of having the confidence to play drums loudly enough to be able to co-ordinate myself.

I will stop talking now,

your local board-hog.

[sparkyboyM]

bass...and none of that double-bass stuff, i mean a 5 string electric Warwick Corvette...nice...sorry if i sound big-headed, i just got that bass as an upgrade from a fender precision lol, so i'm kinda...euphoric about it

[beyondken]

Mmm, Warwick... fair enough you being more than a little happy about that!

[xballetxbeautyx]

I play the harp. It sucks!

Okay, well, maybe I would enjoy it if I wasn't being forced by my grandmother to take lessons from an annoying woman who makes me want to scream! I haven't had a lesson all summer or even practiced, though, 'cause of all my dancing. I would love it if I could self-teach. But grandma won't have that! *rolls eyes*

I also play piano, with lessons from the same woman. I'm self-taught on the guitar and pretty decent, and I can play the recorder. Also I'm a prodigy at the drums, according to my friend, but I don't own and can't afford a set, so looks like I'll only get to play at her house. (Wow. I just spelled house "hows." I need to go back to bed.:icon_wink)

[lostinthought9]

i play the trumpet!!

[happysky]

I play Guitar (Acoustic FTW!!), Ukulele, and Tenor Saxophone, a little piano, and a IIDX controller. =P

[Wheelie]

I play the bass and guitar a little, used to play trumpet and french horn in school. Next month my dental work will be finished and I'm planning on getting another trumpet.
a 5 string electric Warwick CorvetteSweet!

[LornTehViking]

I play a little guitar.
I used to play trumpet.
I still have it actually. I should start that back up.
And I'm working on getting drums, and then learning how to play them(well, I play a bit already, sort of.)
