Poll: Any multi-instrumentalists with us on the escapist? + Best instrument ever! poll

[Jiggabyte]

Piano, guitar, variations thereof. I stopped taking lessons for both somewhat recently (for different, equally mundane reasons), though. I was in a recorder club for a while too when I was a kiddywink but I can't remember much about it.
I'll probably take up guitar again when I can afford an electric, like a sell-out.
Also I've recently wanted to take up either drums or violin but I can't really be bothered.

Best instrument ever is quite obviously the theremin.

 

[Americow]

I play trumpet for jazz and concert band, then electric guitar just for fun.

 

[Horticulture]

I can play bass (electric), guitar, and trumpet.

I'd really love to learn how to play the Chapman Stick

 

[Trafs]

I can play 8 different instruments, but only two of them to any decent standard.

So, I'm a Viola player, first and foremost. I also play Violin when required, as it's a very similar instrument and to be proficient on one is to be proficient on the other, really. I did my grade eight 4 years ago, and an ATCL Recital diploma 3 years ago. Currently, I'm studying at the Royal Northern College of Music in the UK, and after my 5 years there I intend to become a professional chamber musician in a quartet/quintet, or an orchestral player in an international orchestra

And the Bach Double is boring, tbh. Beautiful, but boring. I mean, have you seen the Viola part? D:

 

[Connosaurus Rex]

I play violin, intermidiate piano and I might be learning viola or cello soon since I'm in my HS orchestra and after the concert we get to come after and learn a new instrument. I am a First Violin in my orchestra so Yeah I'm pretty good but damn the cellos sound so damn beautiful.

 

[Captain Schpack]

I play drums and can kinda do mallets (xylophone, marimba, vibes). Also, i can freestyle (play with out music) on the guitar and violin.

 

[Valiance]

Rename poll to best 'stringed' instrument.

 

[Dauntlessidiot]

Finally someone took offence to that!
thankyou,good sir!

 

[Dauntlessidiot]

Guitar, bass guitar, violin, alto saxophone... kazoo?

The violin is the best musical instrument ever, and Bach's double violin concerto in D minor (BWV 1043) is the best piece of music ever.

this is one of the reasons I started the violin

 

[Dauntlessidiot]

I can play bass (electric), guitar, and trumpet.

I'd really love to learn how to play the Chapman Stick

that is the second wierdest instrument I have ever seen in my enture life

Ive seen the cello part to all three movements, and the third one is brutal.
Ive not seen the viola part, but the reason I started viola was that its sturng the same as a cello.

 

[Zedzero]

I played trumpet for a few years it was pretty fun, Lord of The Rings and Pirates of the Carribeen have great Trumpet scores. I tried to learn acoustic guitar but it didn't stick, but I wanna go back and try again, and I wanna try out piano.

 

[Macgyvercas]

Why isn't acoustic guitar on that list?! I'm insulted!

 

[Arkhangelsk]

2½ years of guitar, half a year of violin, and I will learn how to sing/growl.

 

[Berethond]

I play piano, alto sax, and baritone sax with a professional skill level.
I also sometimes play "toy box" (Auxiliary) percussion. I'm pro with a shaker (All four different kinds), and clave. I also play organ, marimba, vibes, chimes, and xylo.

 

[Davey Woo]

I started playing the Electric Guitar a few days ago, I'm not that good.

 

[ddon]

i play the violin and the flute.

 

[G1eet]

Trumpet (and any related brass instrument; fingering doesn't take that long to perfect when it's three buttons, give or take) & percussion.

 

[heavy-metal-ink]

I play guitar fairly well, and i used to be a good technical drummer, though i dont have a kit anymore.
