Poll: Musical instruments

[s2dio]

I love my guitar... It's my samurai sword. Even if it's uncomfortable to play (it's a Jackson King V), I still get amp'd up every time I strap it on. I bought it from a crack head in 98... Best deal ever.

 

[Shockolate]

I own a bass guitar and played trumpet in highschool.

Haven't pick up my bass in like 5 years. It was a mistake buying it really.

 

[Zantos]

I've played the tenor banjo for a fair few years now, and I've got a cittern for doing accompaniments. I also own an electric guitar, though at the minute that's more for show than actually being able to play it.

 

[Alluos]

Bass guitar!
Well, and regular guitar too, but my passion has always been bass guitar.
It's what i was born to do...

 

[Hipsy_Gypsy]

My dominant instrument is the acoustic guitar but I do a touch of keyboard and I'm starting the mandolin and ukelele. I would love to start up the banjo, mind you. Gotta love George Formby.

 

[ace_of_something]

I've played bass guitar and banjo since I was about 11 years old. My twin brother has played drums. We figured identical twins would make a good rhythm section since our natural beats are the same.

 

[Tselis]

I always wanted to play the piano, but my hands are just too small. *sigh* So I'm left to just enjoy piano music.

 

[Dr.Susse]

If it has four strings I'm there!

The uke and the bass are my instrument of choice.

 

[])rStrangelove]

Main is guitar (since 1988), but i also got a bass guitar and now an Arturia keyboard - sounds awesome when everything comes together!

 

[Cheskaz]

Guitar and ukulele. I used to play violin and piano...badly.

 

[Betancore]

I always wanted to play the piano, but my hands are just too small. *sigh* So I'm left to just enjoy piano music.

I play piano, and my hands are pretty small - I can only reach an octave and one, and it's pretty hard for me to play pieces at higher levels (which is why I only got up to Grade 6 and then quit) but I'm sure that if you tried it out, you could find some pieces that don't require you to stretch to play octaves and the like. There's a lot out there if you really want to play piano. Best of luck to you if you ever try it.

I also play the double bass - you know, the really big, upright one. I love the sound it makes, and the fact that everyone wants you in their orchestra because so few people play bass...

 

[Darby]

I sing. It's the easiest instrument for some. And it can sound the best.

 

[Josdeb]

I bought an ocarina a few weeks back (A cheap plastic one, nothing special) and I'm ordering a proper clay one for an Xmas present to myself because I'm enjoying learning it so far

 

[Jedoro]

If you handed me a violin, I'd remember enough bits and pieces from 5th and 6th grade to play it, and maybe play a song if I had a beginner's book. I haven't played one since those grades, though.

 

[ultimateownage]

I've been playing drums for five years, and I'm still pretty shite at it.

 

[TheLoneBeet]

I've played guitar since I was eleven. I taught myself to play some songs on my dad's old acoustic and before I knew it my parents had bought me my own guitar and signed me up for lessons on the basics. Took music classes in high school but didn't like it. Haven't really played much lately though.

 

[theevilgenius60]

I play my electric bass with mediocre skill, but sing quite well. I also play on my brothers drum kit, but only to relieve stress. I seriously suck as a drummer. I am a better guitarist than a bassist, but I enjoy the bass more and love working up a new bass line. I taught myself every bit that I know about it when I was playing college football, as being stuck in a dorm room for long periods of time can be boring. Several of my teammates were also learning so it was a regular occurance to see five to ten huge football players on the balcony of our dorm jamming(badly)

 

[Bioluminescence]

What about voice? That's my primary instrument, although I also play the piano. I had piano lessons growing up, so I guess I didn't consciously "choose" the piano. It just kind of happened. Singing's my favorite activity.

 

[Blow_Pop]

I own a clarinet, but I can play just about all the woodwind and brass instruments. I can also do percussion. A bit rusty on them all but...Also I've never had the lung capacity for tuba as such it is one of the only brass instruments that I can't play. I can also be a conductor.
