    I play a bunch of different instruments (some more proficiently than others) but lately my favorite has been the ole glissando guitar-- played with a butter knife and routed through lots of modular effects...

    been playing clarinet since 2nd grade, now i can play all the clarinets in the family. took classes in piano the last two years. i played tenor sax back in high school for a bit. i've taught myself how to play bass and drums in the past year or so. i like to sing here and there, but i don't really do that often.

    i play fiddle, either bluegrass, new grass or any type of acoustic music. what i like about fiddle is the great improv stuff you can do with it. it can play a melody that sings like a gem or make crazy phsycadelic sound effects, or both at the same time! i also play a little bit of bass...you know like upright bass. i just like to accompany other people with it for fun if an upright happens to be around. what do y'all play?

    i've being playing the flute for like a year and a half now. it's boring... and i wanna drop band because the teachers are weird, but mom and dad think i should stick with it, so i suppose i will. my lil sis does percussion; bells and drums. it's quite loud and annoying right now since she doesn't know how to play much but i guess she'll get better.

    i hear that the valve trombone is an extremely hard instrument, but it seems like it would be easier to me because of the fact it has valves instead of a slide.


    and i'm glad to see that alot of people actually play instruments here. that's awesome.

    i played a valve trombone once, and yeah it is extrememly difficult, but thats cos i didn't know how to! i mean, it's the same with any intstrument, you spend hundreds and hundreds of hours pouring blood and sweat into studying it, and thats how you get good.
    I don't play valve trombone, i play bass trombone and synths/piano.
    playing an instrument is one of the most satisfying, rewarding things ever.

    IMHO it is easier because i learned on a baritone, and it has the exact same fingerings for the same notes, and its in the same key...It was a easy tarnsfer for me...

    I wish i caould find a chep one... :p


    one thing that amazed me is all the harminica player in the crowd...

    My instrument of choice is flute, I've been playing since I was 12. I play by ear and read music, too. I also play guitar and love to sing. Some say I sound like Janis without the rasp. I wish I could get that rasp down, though, man! Not enough drugs and booze, I suppose. *giggle*

    I play everything lol


    .... most badly acually the list is smaller if i list the ones i can actually enjoy the sound made whilst playing:

    Piano, guitar, bass, all sax, flute, viola, cello, vocals, organ, didge, harmonica, the malacat? (electric xylophone), drums, sitar (not extremely well), pan pipes, decks, ....... .... i think thats it wait .... ummm triangle, ummmm symbols, ummmm claves ... lol and harp.

    but my fave is bass/guitar bass for the sound, especially slap! and guitar for its range and versatility

    sorry for the spelling its 2:13 am and im as stoned as an unwanted ferret.

    Peace and Love
