I guess this includes any kind of instrument

I play Trumpet & F. Horn in my high school wind ensemble. I find that being part of a band influences how you listen to music, especially instrumental music in my case.

Here's my old trumpet:

It was a 1947 Olds Super Recording. It played very well and was/is quite valuable. I sold it for $1k, which is cheap, after I started on the F. Horn which I really enjoy playing at the moment.

I played the trumpet back in middleschool. I sucked at it and moved on, had some breathing ploblems so blowing on the trumpet was a task. If I could do it again I would have tried the piano but due to limited funding I couldn't.

that's how i got into music... i never listened or cared about it till i got into my middle school's band.
for about 7 years i played the Bassoon, and in H.S. i picked up percussion and the trombone.

I've been playing keyboards since I was five, professionally for a time. Of all the various keyboards I've owned and played, only a Yamaha C-3 and Hammond B-3 (+ 2 Leslies) have managed to hang around.

 

[Edwood]

Hmmm. I've gone through many.

The requisite piano, then violin, then clarinet, then guitar.

I still play guitar now and then, but haven't touched one in quite some time.

I take lessons for the piano, and have for a while. I'm still terrible at it. Of late though, I have been fiddling around on the guitar.

Yeah, piano and guitar, how original of me.

One of my friends plays the harp and bagpipes.

I play piano a bit.

Own a Hallit and Davis 5'7 Grand, it's my pride and joy.

Rhapsody in Blue, Rachmaninoff Prelude 23/3, a couple Chopin Etudes, Beethoven Sonata 17 in D minor, and a Bach Prelude and Fuge (can't remember which one) from WTC Book 2 are my current studies.

Currently attempting to learn audition rep in four months for conservatory...wish me luck

12 years of violin so far. Classicly trained first, then switched to jazz. Right now, for playing in a band, I'm using this.

Check my avatar. I have an M-3 with the tone selector thing (forget the name right now) and tube reverb. I'm trying to learn how to play it...

computerpro, I *love* rhapsody in blue!

I've been playing trombone for about four years. Right now playing bass trombone. But I suck. Really do. Absolutely no intention of having a musical career after high school.

But the thing is that there are very few people who play trombone, or even lower brass instruments in schools, so I am regarded by my peers as "somewhat good" for a high school standard.

I used to play the alto sax back in jr. and sr. high school. I just dabble with my acoustic guitar sometimes. There's an old Yamaha Clavinova and Young Chang upright piano collecting dust downstairs, but I still give the keys a touch once in a while. I'm not sure if I'll play the sax again, but I might, if I find a mint c. 1958 Selmer Mark VI that someone's willing to sell

I've always wanted to sound like Paul Desmond...

I spent a lot of time playing the tuba/sousaphone and bass clarinet. I don't play much any more, but keep a bass clarinet around for kicks.

To a lesser extent, I also played the clarinet, tenor sax, trombone, and bassoon. But tuba and bass clarinet were easily my favorites. I'd love to pick up the bass some day, as well as dulcimer and the pedal steel. They just seem like fun.

I played clarinet and alto sax in concert, marching, and jazz bands for many years but I haven't touch either instrument for nearly five years now. I kinda miss it and should really get back into playing.

 

[rockin_amigo14]

wait till i get my camera. i'll be showing off my babies.


i'm in H.S. and play tenor and now soprano sax in concert/jazz bands. They seem to be all i'm good at. I made junior All-State Band last year, and senior all state this year.
