What instruments do you play?
 

As I was thumbing through one of my musical history books today, it occurred to me the sheer volume of musical instruments that exist out there. Thus, I'm a bit curious to find out what instruments everyone plays.

I'll go ahead and start:
- Electric Bass
- Double Bass (plain ol' acoustic type, since i can't afford an electric upright)
- Ocarina
- Didgeridoo (just started learning, and learning to circular breath is a bitch)

I'm looking forward to the replies, especially to see what unusual instruments pop up.

BTW, if there has been a thread like this in the past, then moddies, feel free to delete this one. I didn't see one, but I might not have been thorough enough.

Started w/ electric guitar, moved to electric bass, and now I'm trying to teach myself piano and cello. Quite a switch indeed.

Just guitar for me. I tried taking piano lessons for about a year but just couldn't get the independent two hand coordination down, wish I would've tried harder though.

I have a very long list of thing that I can sort of play, but the only instrument that I've had any sort of teaching in is the highland bagpipes.

Guitar, Epiphone Acoustic and Fender Strat for 3 years.

I know a little piano too on my Yamaha electric keyboard.

I might buy a drumset sometime this year, thatd be fun.

Piano (up through 6th grade)
Clarinet (Bb and Eb soprano, through 12th grade)
Baritone Horn (college)
Mouth Drumming (presently, but not very good yet)

And singing through all of that time.

I can play Bagpipes....not well mind you...but I can still play

Wow, I love the bagpipes! Do you wear a cute little plaid skirt when you do? ;)

As for me, I'm a singer. :D

I just went out a bought an electric geetar...

Someday I will be rock god!

My main instrument is electric guitar. I can play bass too and I'm pretty good at piano. Looking to get a synth soon. :)

Just the piano. I used to take lessons, but I just play for fun now.

Piano

and I too am learning the Didgeridoo. Circular breathing is pretty hard.

drummer here..........

but i play guitar and bass as well......

harmonica count?...........and a bit of piano.


put it in front of me and i'll learn it.

piano. and the soundboard.

Just guitar right now. I had an electric bass for a while, but ended up selling it. Wish I hadn't, now. Thinking of getting another one... doubles my chances of finding a spot in a band.

I'd love to learn keyboard/synth, too, bit if I'm putting a gigworthy bass rig together the synth will have to wait.

Hey now, it's called a kilt. And I don't know about ShaniFaye but yes, I wear one.

Acoustic and Electric guitar - self taught over 20 years and I play for my own enjoyment.

My biggest problem is rhythm but since I don't play with others, it's just my special version of whatever song I play!

I've got a didgeridoo, too but haven't got it down...

I play the most portable instrument of all....my voice.

I no longer practice/play regularly anything, but i've taken lessons for the guitar, trumpet, and piano. Out of the 3, I remember the most from piano lessons. I dropped out of all those lessons after a couple months. I jus hated having to make my way to the lessons 2 times a week. I do much better at things that i've self taught myself.

I've been wanting to buy a cheap trumpet or drum set and just fool around and teach myself. The drums don't look to complicated, as long as you have rhythm.

If I had gotten good enuff to play with the pipe band I was taking lessons from I would have worn one...but alas I didnt....my fingers are to short to hold it correctly for competition so I did the dumb ass thing and quit my lessons. :mad:

I tooled around with electric guitars for a few years but didn't really get good enough to play in a band or anything.

I'm in the process of learning to play a Mobius Megatar. I am nowhere good enough to actually play a song from start to finish though.

Still getting acquainted with the fetboard and my brain's unwillingness to allow for my hands to work interdependently. Its loads of fun.

Trombone! Anyone? Anyone? Anyone?

I played the cello from some silly early age through the end of 8th grade. After a 6 year musical hiatus, I have started teaching myself the mandolin. Aside from the joys of gaining big-ass finger calluses, the biggest challenge is learning to play with chords. But it is fairly easy, and a lot of fun. It is really enjoyable playing along with blues songs, because they are simple enough that I can keep up. Blues mandolin anyone?
I also stumbled upon the opening riff of Day Tripper by the Beatles! Woo!

I started out on drums through high school then went to bass guitar and played in several bands but I was always practicing on guitar then finally the band I was in lost a guitar player and I took his spot and I've been doing that for about 20 years now in many diverse circumstances, mostly rock bands.
I bought a mandolin 2 weeks ago and have used it in 2 shows already. It's given me a kick in the butt.

I <3 Cello

Also know some piano, but I've pretty much stopped that now :(

played the trombone in high school, other then that, nothing

all i know so far is electric/acoustic guitar and some bass, plus a little keyboards/piano -- but i'd fucking LOVE to learn cello!! something about the depth & tone of that instrument just stimulates my soul in such an undescribable way..

I mostly rock out the Tenor Sax, though I can also play alto and bari. I took piano lessons in grade school but have since forgotten the bass clef and how to play with my left hand, so if I play a song on the piano its basically melody only. I wish I knew how to play one of those stand-up acoustic basses, because those just ooze style.

Guitar, Trumpet, French Horn, Euphonium and Jew's harp. Anyone want to start a TFP band?

I started off with saxaphone, probably couldnt play that anymore though. Right now, I play guitar and am learning to play harmonica. I also want to get my hands on a sitar when I have the money to spend.

right on! i play french horn!!!! they rock!!! french horn, trumpet, clarinet, some piano/keyboard (though not well), and learning the acoustic guitar :)
also can sing (i get the notes right but i'm not "put me in your cd player" material) :p

and a TFP band would be awesome!!!

Drums. Actually I used too. While in high school my brother and I shared one. I moved out, got married and he kept it.

Im looking to buy my own again real soon. Waiting to get my garage cleaned out :rolleyes:
