I know everyone here is crazy about space, so this may be stepping in strange territory for some, but I was curious, does anyone here play musical instruments? If you do, how many and what do you play?

I've played piano for nine years on my own and taking lessons.
Flute for seven years in my schools symphonic, pep, and marching bands.
Piccolo when I have one to play on. I've only had one to play on for a year, but I still can, so I've been able to do it for four years.
Bass for just over a year. I learned so I could play in my school's jazz band.

It's not a weird question, I'll bet there's a lot of us out there

I play four (piano, flute, alto, and tenor sax)...five if you count being a singer too (if you think you don't need to practice singing, you're crazy!). Haven't played the saxes since jazz band though, don't want to bother my neighbors.

In reality i can play multiple instruments but since i can only play one really well i only chose one on the poll. My two artistic talents in high school were music and theatre. I have played trumpet for about 8 years now. I also own and can somewhat play a keyboard, guitar (both electric and acoustic), bass guitar and at one time drums (but i didnt have enough time to practice so never very well). I still dabble in all but the drums though i'm still only good at trumpet.

well i said three because i play piano, sax and guitar.....

but if you count all of my saxes it'll be a lot more, i own a tenor, an alto, and a soprano, and play the school's bari, once i even got to try out a bass sax at a conferance, man i wish i had the money for one of those things $23,000

and i also sing

I've played viola for 8 years and just last week was one away from a star rating at sectionals.

hehe. You can add recorder to my list too.

Actually i think still have one laying around here somewhere.

tennisrox014 · Post by **tennisrox014** » Mon Mar 21, 2005 7:37 pm

Lol, I suppose I could count that as well. Mine is hidden away in one of my drawers, hehe.

I'm seeing a link between musically inclined people and recorders. Though they are the most God awful sounding instruments ever no matter how good you are at playing them.

That's why mine is hidden away.

Oh Jeeeze, I play way too many instruments.
Here it goes:
The whole clarinet family
Saxaphone
French horn (I'm horrible at it)
and I am now learning how to play the Bagpipe

Woo, bagpipe! That's awsome! I've never met someone who plays bagpipe, lol.

Space Nerd · Post by **Space Nerd** » Wed Mar 23, 2005 7:23 pm

I've always been amazed by people who can play bagpipe and even more so after i learned how its actually done. I give props to anybody who can do all of that! Hillsdale college has a bagpipe band thing that marches around hillsdale every morning at 6 am. My theatre teacher used to just love it (sarcasm) when they marched by his house in the morning.

omg bagpipe story. so at school on st. pats day a bagpipe group came and performed in our commons. it was so cool to watch, it was like the first time in my life ive seen a real bagpipe

psych0rabbit · Post by **psych0rabbit** » Wed Mar 23, 2005 8:18 pm

Wow, we don't get anyone cool to come to our school. I'm not a huge bagpipe fan, but they look kinda neat. We've had groups march in our parades. Kinda interesting.

How many instruments do you play?
