    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

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

    I play the piano, oboe, drums, and ukulele. I also try to sing a bit :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes: 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 >.<)

    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. :slight_smile:

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

    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.

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

    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 :slight_smile:

    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).

    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.

    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).

    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!
