Do you play any musical instruments? Myself, I play a handful of stringed instruments, vibraphone and piano. I'm taking a jazz course at school and learning some neat things, and it has me curious as to how much people know about music.

So, what instrument, if any, do you play, and what kind of music?

I mainly listen to music. Have a very big collection these days.

I used to play bass guitar but dont do that anymore - i just dont have the right skills to do it right.

Bass...there's an instrument I'd like to learn how to play. As far as stringed instruments go, though, I play guitar, banjo, ukulele and a wee bit of mandolin.

I'd kill for an upright bass. Those things are so damned cool.

Since kid I've always wanted to become a drummer and when I was something about 12 years old (don't remember exactly) I went to a conservatoire. I played there 2 years and then I just gave up, don't know why. Since that I've been playing them once in a while in our basement (I still have drums, so, who knows if I begin to practise again).

I usually play rock, or heavy rock, and I've got double pedals which means it MUST to be rock that I play!

I played on guitar and bass approximately 5 years ago. We had a group and played heavy rock. By the way the main problem was with the drummer, but our last man was at first with good music education, and secondly he loved two drum barrels (on how many I remember, Dimmu Borgir were his idols). For this reason many envied us, and others appreciated.
We recorded our own small album, and then broke up, since everyone had problems and other plans for a life. It is a great pity.
I have not taken guitar in hands for a year. Now I open a jazz for myself, dream for a much free time and the good instrument.

I play piano. Went to musical school - both elemetnary and high (we have them separated here, no music instruments in elementary od high school - so I went to two schools).
But since school ended, which was 6 years ago, I sit here and there and make some almost musical noise

I play drums, but not very well at the moment. Mainly rock stuff really, pretty standard.

Well I really LOVE music, I just don't know what would I be doing without it.... I like playing my guitar...in fact I have two acoustics I play from time to time..sometimes everyday, when I wanna feel like a rockstar

My fav instument is pad to PS2
<just kidding>
Guitar BASS :] Cuz i play with my friends me bass other electric and drums :]

*Plays Keyboard and Organ

I produce music through whistling.. Can the mouth and tongue also be considered as musical instruments? Hmmm.. If so, then they would probably belong to the wind instruments..

I played on a flute some (read: 10) years ago...

I played trombone for five years or so. I started in middle school and quit halfway through high school. Band was pretty fun and I enjoyed playing songs I guess?? I tried teaching myself piano but all I end up doing is memorizing a song or two and then I forget it a week later. I like listening to other people play stuff even if I can't produce music :p

Hoho.....nice topic. I like it .... I was at Muzical College about 4 years and I have sing at Panpipe, if you know "Gheorghe Zamfir" same instrument, and.... Piano. Now I am not singing anymore but I still like to play at Piano is quite nice, relaxing....... You can try to learn to play at Piano too..... hehe
