UBB.Developers Forums General Discussion Chit Chat Musical Mahem!!!

Real simple...

• What musical instruments do you play, or have played in the past.
• For those wishing to elaborate, feel free to discuss your instruments.
• For those who have aspirations, feel free to discuss what you want to play, or an instrument you wish to own.

I play piano, guitar, bass (although none very well). Own a 4-string elec. bass, an Ovation acous/elec (both are leftys). and a Yamaha keyboard. I'd like to get a nice upright piano for my living room next.

In elementary school I played the recorder.

I can still play a mean "Twinkle, twinkle little star".

i've been playing guitar for 36 years, and right now I have an Ovation super shallow bowl (purple sunburst) and a mahogony Les Paul. I play anything with strings or keys and a few horns and woodwinds. I'm looking for a good midi controller right now but I haven't really settled on one that has the right action, full keyboard and will wtill fit in my back computer room.

Erm... Piano/Keyboard...

I don't play hardly anything anymore, but I used to take lessons for lots of stuff. I'm terrible at most of it now, for lack of practice, but I suppose if I did a few quick refresher courses I could probably do something.

- 8 years of piano lessons. (I actually got pretty good at that.)
- 1 year of guitar lessons. (The teacher was, unfortunately, not very good, so I never really went far with it.)
- 4 years of flute in the elementary/middle school band. (f00.)
- 3 years of voice lessons. (I still sing, and I'm still good at it, or so people tell me. I don't really think so myself.)

I think the Flute is one of the coolest instruments on the planet, but the least efficient with airflow. I tried but I didn't have the lung power.

I play the trombone, been doing it for 3 years... I'm in the top band now in 7th grade, we auditioned and were accepted to play at Disneyland, and my friend's choire group is going 4 days after us to sing. Heh.

Good times.

I play two decks, a mixer and a laptop with loads of mp3's of not yet out on vinyl tunes!(progressive, hard house, trance and tribal)

Oh and apparently I can play a lady like a musical instrument but that's another story

Well in Music Class in Primary school I played Recorder and Keyboard. In Music Class in High School (Current) I usually just play keyboard.

been playing the piano (classical) for almost 8 years now and I love it

excluding myself I'm seeing a pattern here

acoustic guitar and flute

i cant play them anymore though hehe. it was fun

Prolly more like 6/8

I've been playing trumpet about 26 years... still not very well (I don't apply myself the time it takes to practice like I should). I do play ok tho and play in a couple bands when I'm not singing back-up. I played a few sports in HS due to my size, but was more a band/choir nerd. Choir Prez Junior and Senior year. All-Region Choir a few times and qualified for All-State my senior year, tho I never went cuz I just didn't have the time between work/school/football/everything else to work that level of music (Russian/Italian/etc - I had to learn how to even pronounce the words before I sang a note of it ) up well enough to be comfortable singing it with so many other extremely good singers. I still kick myself for not doing it.

I have a desire to learn how to play that acoustic guitar sitting a few feet from me cuz I can't play trumpet and sing at the same time, but mainly just cuz it's cool... I've taken a few piano lessons and a couple years or so of private voice lessons.

I have also been known to sing at a local coffee bar/internet cafe that has some great music on the weekends. backup... always singing backup

Well, I play the drums. And I still do, the band I was in split so yea. I play solo at the moment.
