People of EoFF, do you play any musical instrument? Did you ever attempt too - or do you plan on ever playing something? Please state what instrument you would like too take up or have played.

I've been playing a 4 string Tenor Banjo for the past year. It's range is very much suited for traditional Irish music, and it's all I personally use it for. We have a festival here called the Fleadh Ceoil and its where many people gather to play trad music and it's great fun.

This is my instrument:

It isn't anything special of yet but I plan on getting something better in years to come. :)

In my early childhood days, I was an acceptable pianist. Those days are long gone, though.

I play several instruments. Since my early days, I have dabbled in the piano. Near the end of high school, I began playing the guitar, and I currently own a cheap Ibanez, a cheap Washburn as well as my main guitar, a Martin JC-16RE. I also own a hollow-body electric Ibanez.

For the last two years, I have played the five-string banjo. I own a Deering Goodtime Two, as well as a handmade maple banjo that I came into possession of. It was old and needed refurbishing, but it sounds great. I use it for Seeger-style frailing and Scruggs three-finger style, neither of which I'm particularly good at yet.

I can also fiddle around on just about any brass instrument, though right now my chops are not in any form to speak of. I also own an accordion that I am learning.

All except the small one at the bottom. Mostly the one in the middle.

I play Guitar Hero. I hear it's exactly the same as playing a real guitar.

ZOMG like no ways it's not you fool! :p


No, I have zero artistic talents of any kind.

I like to sing-a in the moon-a in the June-a in the spring-a.

I play piano. I used to play clarinet in elementary school.

I've played drums for the better part of my existence, I've been playing guitar for about 5 years now and I've been learning piano since last Christmas. As far as my instruments; I have a pearl kit with various export and masters pieces that I bought individually and then had repainted the same colour, and I use a mix of Zildjian A and K custom cymbals. Guitar wise I have an Ibanez AW Acoustic and A PRS Custom 24 which. I'm currently hiring the piano that I have, think I might get rid of it and buy an electronic keyboard with weighted keys and such though, it'd be better suited for what I have to do with it.

I played bass for a while. I've always wanted to learn to play the sax and the harmonica. Sigh.

edit: bah, I completely forgot that I played the violin for a few years when I was really little.

I played recorder, guitar and sax at different points throughout primary school. I quit because all the music teachers just put me off, but lately I've been wanting to play again. EVERY INSTRUMENT IN EXISTENCE.

Sadly no. I'd love to be able to play something. Anything! But I can't. It probably has something to do with me never having taken any classes. Well, I played the recorder a little bit when I was like 10, but that was only because it was obligatory in the elementary school I went to.

However, I always get asked if I play any instruments. Apparently I look like a musician.

I play guitar, bass and drums fairly well. I can play a little piano, but not with much skill. :greenie:

I've been wanting to get better at piano and pick up the violin.

I've been playing piano for 11 months. My tutor says I'm progressing really quickly, but I still feel stupid at it. :p

Thinking about maybe picking up saxophone?? Depends on my tax refund :D

During my first couple years of High School, I had played an instrument for the school band. I played the trombone and later on, switched to the clarinet. I think I preferred playing the clarinet because I hated the trombone, though I originally wanted to play the trumpet when I started.

I usually teach myself how to play guitar when I have free time. (Acoustic)

I mess with piano, but I'm a good guitarist and a fine bassist. I also plan on getting vocal lessons so I can sing all of my fav songs from Cabaret.

I have an electric guitar, a keyboard, and a pretty basic drum set. I love playing music, but i'm terrible at creating my own.

I was a trumpet player in middle school, but that was because being in band got you out of classes like home economics and industrial arts.

Also this.

YAY!

I say we all make a collab! Whatya say!? One of us makes a file of them playing, and then someone else puts it in audacity and plays over it, and so on and so forth.
