Musical Instruments - what do you play?

I play bass.. and I collect guitars and basses..


So tell us about yours!



(soz if this has been done before.. but I'm new here and there's a ton of stuff on here I gotta read!)

Tambourine, and pretty nifty with the 'on' button on the old dry ice machine.

I've got guitars too, but I think it'd stretch reality beyond even my grasp to suggest I 'played' them. 'Played with' is fine.

Guitar, Piano, Keyboard, and I have a Drum Machine.

Guitar, Bass, Keyboard and Drums...

Culminating in this

I manipulate synths, and two bandmembers.

Resulting in this

I play cricket, pool and with myself (!!)

Music wise, my daughter has a recorder - does that count?

I play the CD player a lot. Once tried to learn the guitar and got a lesson in humility.

I'm quite good at that too, but I've gone deeper and am learning to play they pick-up now

Apart from that I only pluck my nose while listening

(And I do have a gee-tar, but I never took the effort to actually learn to play it, I was absolute rubbish at it the few times I tried )

same here Ob, got one for christmas but struggling through the chords...

What I really need is a musical instrument I can just pick up and play, without having to go to the trouble of learning.

Drums?

Don't be silly. You have to go and sit at the kit. Far too inconvenient

flute a bit.
keyboards a bit less.
classical guitar even less than that.

Fan of the Gypsy Kings or something?

Aye, a Standy upy Drummer, the Creaming Jeasus had one of them too!.

The pianner/keyboards. Self taught, but that doesn't mean I can only play "chopsticks"...

Used to play the clarinet, boy was that s**t.

Also got a hammered dulcimer (made by my grandfather hunners and hunners of years ago), like this woman...
