What instruments, if any at all, do you play.

I can play the all 4 of the Saxaphones, the piano, bass and a little of the Guitar.

Post what you can play!

Can play piano/keyboards somwhat, or could in my younger days when I played in various school bands.
Haven't done it in quite some time though (like 12 years)

Irish folk accordion, piano (very slightly), recorder (when asthma permits). Used to be in an occasional Irish folk group. We were very bad, and I fit right in!

What exactly is an Irish fold group, I never heard of it. Sounds kind of fun.

I used to play viola, I forgot about that.

But the bad bands are the most fun to play in...as long as everyone is equally bad, no one notices

On topic...I play guitar and a little bass

I can play acoustic guitar, and vaguely remember some of my flute sessions from high school.

We didn't fold, we played Irish folk music!

There are thousands of Irish folk tunes, catalogued over the last several hundred years and published in a few big books. Most folk groups either get tunes from there, or play variants on these tunes. There's a lot you can do with 'em. We had a fiddler, someone on a tin whistle, another on recorder, a bodhran player, a singer, and myself on accordion.

lol instruments lol

I still await for the inevitable non-too-subtle sexual innuendo to find its way into this thread.

Like Robnark, I am a kazoo virtuoso

One of my crazy projects in high school was learning to play the first movement of the Mozart clarinet concerto on a kazoo. I almost had it down when my instrument broke

Serious answer: I played classical piano for a long time but RSI-like syndromes made me give it up almost entirely. I guess using the computer daily for extended periods of time (despite taking breaks) has its consequences....

Piano... although I only have a keyboard to play on at the moment. Learning acoustic guitar... Used to play tenor horn in a brass band and wind band when I was at school, but I haven't played for a few years. It's not the kind of thing that's much fun to play at home on your own. Oh, and I played descant and treble recorder when I was younger too.

I play the Saxophone (mostly Alto and Barry, a little Tenor) - JAZZ ROCKS!!!

we all play the kazoo

its a whole brass section rolled into one!!! i also play the drums seriously and the harmonica lightly

Sytze · Post by **Sytze** » Sun Sep 05, 2004 1:30 pm

Played the drums, but did not go very deep in it. Haven’t even started playing other instruments, since I'm too lazy to learn a new instrument, and I certainly do not have the patience for it

Robnark · Post by **Robnark** » Sun Sep 05, 2004 2:09 pm

I seem to have neglected to mention that, as well as my mad kazoo skillz, I'm also teaching myself the Didgeridoo. I'm still a bit rubbish at the whole circular breathing thing though.

I played three saxes(alto, tenor, and bari) all the way through high school. It's been a while so i'm not as good as I once was, and I'm sure switching to tenor and bari exclusively during highschool didn't help my skills. It probably retarded them if any. I started teaching myself trumpet a few years ago, and I have a trombone which someday I want to learn. Glenn Miller is my hero.

It always turns into a travesty. You can't be an aspiring musician on the internet. Funny that, since we all thought it would get easier...

I played the piano when I was younger. Used to play concerts solo, with orchestra or in chamber settings. Then I got fed up, sold the piano, got myself an electric guitarr and started playing in a horrible punk band
