    Mainly cello, plus piano, and bits of steel drums, 'lectric bass, tin whistle, as well as the tiniest amounts of mandolin, guitar, harmonica (got so high when I worked out how to bend notes), and sax (just a few notes, but hey, it makes me happy enough to count it!), and finally two things on the drums but only when I've had a drink or three

    been playin guitar for quite a few years now..hey dude above me, about the 12 string, man its pretty much just like playing a regular acoustic guitar, if you can play a 6 string guitar, you can play a 12 string guitar, yeah theres a little but of adjustment, but really its not much different, it seems like the scale would be a lot bigger but its not, if youve seen one up close youd understand my man, go check one out, you could play it...ive also played piano off and on since i was a kid

    Bass is my musical medium. I've been playing for six years and I love it. My friend and I are going into Albany so I can jam on the street for the first time and see how it feels. I could also possibly collect some dinero. :)

    Im a drummer, have been for about 4 years now

    except due to noise complaints for the past year ive only been able to play one hour each weekday.

    and i cant play as much as i used due to R.S.I (repetitive strain injury) in my right wrist, which developed towards the end of last year while i was still in school, im lucky i got to complete my exams before my wrist got truly fucked

    the moral of the story, make sure you do proper warm ups and streches if your playing your instrument for many hours a day

    oh and Ambassador is soooooooo right about repetitive
    injury!!!! My music teacher swapped stories about that!
    I made my jaw hurt from playing to much and she
    messed up her arm because her proffesorr told her to
    play three hours a day. Unfortunately she did it all at
    once.
    peace

    I played guitar in my band Stargazer (named after an old Rainbow song) when I was in my early 20's. Had to quit though due to needing too many drugs to perform on stage. Havent picked up a guitar in over 15 years now. Probably couldnt even play well anymore due to bad arthritis in my hands.

    Guitar, Ukulele, and Djembe (first instrument I learned). Unfortunately the Djembe is far to heavy and big to trek with...and now with bad knees the guitar is as well...so I mostly take the Uke with me.

    Currently getting more proficient with the pan flute and ocarina too...but "wind instruments" are a whole nother world for me right now.

    i used to play the ocarina at primary school.

    i hardly hear of people playing it these days. most people never knew what it was when i said i could play it. :)

    Yea...I've put more time in to the pan flute, but I heard a kid playing the ocarina in the San Juans and it was beautiful so it really inspired me to pick it up again. Great instrument, and good to know that others are interested in it as well.

    I can kinda play piano (if by play you mean imitate a first-grader). Then I've got the drums, mostly marching band stuff, though I taught myself the set. And, the only instrument I can actually play well is the guitar.:)

    I always wanted to get one of those. Is it easier to learn than the flute?
