    Title says it all. Myself, I play guitar, bass, double bass, ukulele, mandolin, banjo, piano, harmonica, and a silly thing - a melodica. I've been making noise with things since I was three. Basically, I've had a lot of free time on my hands and haven't seen much sunlight.:thumbsup:n

    I mainly play viola. I can play violin almost as competently, and I dabble in cello a little (just easy stuff). I also used to take piano lessons when I was younger, but I've long since forgotten.

    I play a mean radio. Does that count?

    If not, I took Saxophone lessons for a month in school, but then we moved and I gave up. At some point or another during my time on earth, I will learn to play the piano and the bagpipes though.

    My main interments are the Violin and the Bassoon, although I have been considering switching to the Viola. I can also play Baritone at pretty good level, although it most definitely isnt what I would call my instrument, Trumpet, Piano, and Baritone Saxophone, with the last three being only at a low-intermediate level.

    I'm not sure if I want to give up the repertoire of the violin. I do like the lower sound of the viola, but I just cant decide.

    I can dabble on piano, guitar, clarinet, recorder, and harmonica.
    I have near-perfect pitch (not trying to brag), so I can kind of pick up instruuments like piano and flute and play notes that turn out well.
    Oh. and I sing a lot.

    I used to play cello (from elementary through high school), but haven't played since high school graduation night. New activities during college occupied all my time, but I do plan on picking it up again after I'm done with grad school. Cellos rock!

    Been playing drums for... about 6 years now (has it really been that long?) I've been getting into my set more, since drumline for the most part is finished, as far as I'm concerned. I've also played piano and guitar.

    Back in middle school I used to play the saxophone in band class. I took guitar lessons for a while, and later bought a bass with hopes of learning how to play. Can I actually play any of them to this day though? No. Not at all.

    My Queer Studies professor is interestingly writing a book called "The Gendering of Musical Instruments" which I think will be interesting. Its about the silliness of stuff like why instruments like the trombone, saxophone, and trumpet are "for men" and clarinets, flutes, and piccolos are for girls.

    I really want to learn how to play an ocarina, just because I'm a huge Zelda nerd like that :3

    I played flute and piano when I was a kid, and now I sing (I'm a lyric soprano). I want to learn how to play the mandolin, dulcimer, banjo, Celtic harp, and hurdy-gurdy.
