Must punish myself for the lame title.:paranoid:

Well, do you? And what is it?

I play the double bass lately in our local orchestra, plus I used to play the bass guitar and drums at my old band.

I used to play the flute, the piano... but now I mostly sing. A lot. I stopped taking singing lessons though.

And I bought a ukulele not long ago. Will learn to play it when I've got time.

I play the piano and the ukulele (cannot for the life of me play the guitar with my tiny fingers), played the trombone/baritone/tuba in middle school, and I can manage the Harry Potter intro song on a recorder. Can't read sheet music, though, I'm planning to go to school for that.

I play the guitar, and I was dissapointed when I realized it was such a common instrument. :/

Me in my friends are thinking of making a band, except with only uncommon instruments and a keyboard. Apparently I'm going to learn to play the Theremin/Melodica/some other obscure instrument.

I used to play the Guitar. It's still there, but I rarely play it now...

I want to be able to play the piano, harmonica, and even be able to drum - and I want to be really good at all three.
I also wanted to be really good at playing my guitar, but I guess I don't have something to drive me along...

I used to play the clarinet. ...No, I wasn't like Squidward. I was actually good at the basic stuff but since I moved so many times, I didn't learn it very well.

I ended up quitting because I was so far behind and plus, I don't think my parents could afford... or even bother with getting private lessons. I wouldn't mind learning how to play the piano. <3

I play trumpet and baritone. I can also play a little bit of piano and I had a few lessons, but the teacher stopped giving me lessons when she quit her job as a coach at my mom's gym. :/
Apparently my old sig was too big or something so I'm just putting this here because I'm too lazy to actually replace it properly right now.

Well I've been playing guitar for about, 6 years but it feels like my whole life, so I play various numbers of guitar types with various numbers of strings. Six and twelve string guitar being my main focus however. I'm an electric guitarist mainly, especially when it comes to six string, I like to play some melodies on my twelve string as it sounds better usually opposed to a six stringed guitar. Other than guitar though, I've played Piano for about a year, only about a grade 4 (due to already being able to sight read) I just use it for writing mainly. I play a few whistles (because I'm Irish duh) but I wouldn't be too fond of them XD. Other than that though, I can still play a few tunes on the violen and drums, I can still hold a beat on. Other than that, just percussion really. Throw anything at me, I'll have a go! I do love music though. There is few sounds more beautifull.

I play the guitar since I was ten, and bought an electric violin last year and have been learning to play it by myself since then (it's lots of fun, also lots of work, since I can't read sheet music). I've been also messing around with synth softwares for a while. I have 4 guitars, 12 string - nylon strings for bossa nova - folk - electric, but I'm now really into slapping my accoustic - I /edit/can/edit/ play most of Miyavi songs, including Jikoai. Not to brag, but it does turn heads on anime cons and stuff.
Now my sister wants to get a bass, I'm super excited cause I know it'll be mine, MIIIINEEEE >D

I play the:
  • guitar: started teaching myself about five years ago. Probably would be better at it if I got lessons but I don't need/want to shred and I'm happy at my current skill level. Play guitar/vocals in a band.
  • piano: started learning when I began school, stopped at the end of year six when we moved house, but still remembered how to play songs and improvise/read music etc. Play this in a jazz band with a few friends.
  • bass: this is basically the same as the guitar but with four strings, so it was relatively easy to pick up. Can't do slap or anything cool. I want to be good enough to play the Seinfeld song.
  • drums: taught myself drums from an uncle's old drum kit which we really luckily inherited. Pretty good at this, though it's a really old drum kit, like only one of the cymbals is left, all the drums sound real bad, the foot pedal won't stay attached to the bass drum for long and the hi-hat turns inside out when you hit it D: but when I play on a good drum kit it sounds good (because nothing sounds good on that one XD)
  • harmonica: just recently started teaching myself this one. Got a book on it too.
I used to play the violin when I was seven or eight and the flute when I was about nine until I was eleven, but I can't really play either of them anymore (not that I've tried, like pianos are everywhere so I didn't find myself forgetting how to play it as much as flute/violin etc.). I also played the recorder before I went to school and can still play a few songs on that, but it's nothing to be proud of, half the time I make it squeal instead of go in tune.
