Trumpet, for about 8 1/2 years now.

I played tuba in high school, picked it up a couple years ago and played with, get this, a heavy metal band. The horn was a rental, the band went to shit, but it was fun and highly amusing while it lasted.

i used to sing in an oi!-punk band which went to hell because we sucked due to the consumption of massive amounts of alcohol during the rehearsals. we didn´t have one single gig...

Flute. Although I quit band, so not anymore. Say, wasn't this topic addressed already?

I used to play guitar, but I gave that up a while ago. I also play trombone.

I've never played an instrument. It just never interested me. I also don't sing or even listen to very much music.

Used to be a hot hand on the string bass, but gave up Orchestra for a multimedia class.

Guitar, BassClarinet.

I played a clarinet in Middle School...

And one time, we got bored and there was no teacher, so some girls took their clarinets, and let the guys take a blow...

That actually happened. Not in a sick way...they just let us toot ont heir clarinets for a bit.

yes, but it´s this sort of topic that comes up every once in a while and you just have to go through posting it again since everybody has forgotten what the others play and dont really care anyway.

Euphonium/Baritone. And there aint nothing like it. It looks like it should play damn low (like a tuba) but it can wail up top with the best of them, adn I wouldn't trade it for the world. Although I'm only third (of seven) chairs in my section, those three who are better than me are seniors (to my lowly freshmen), and once they're gone, I'm King of the worl-er....section!

I played Trumpet/Baritone in Middle School and High School. Haven't played in a couple of years. Hm, I should start playing it again...

Guitar, Piano, and formerly French Horn.

Darth Garden Gnome · Post by **Darth Garden Gnome** » 2003-03-06 10:20pm

I also play the Mellophone for marching band. Not to fond of it, but my puny scrawny arms couldn't carry a marching baritone around for six hours a day, so I had to convert. Has the same fingerings as a trupet/baritone, but the similarities end there. Its more like a French Horn in terms of sound than anything else.

Guitar, acoustic and electric. Almost a year ow.

I play the piano. I guess that means I can play the harpsichord and organ too.

Perhaps I should try starting my own band. All I'd need then is someone that can bang on random drums loudly, and a guitarist that doesn't need to know more than two different chords.

In my life I've played the violin (3 years), trombone (2 years), tuba (1.5 years) and bagpipes (6 years).

And various bits of hitty-things that some people call instruments...

Post by **Ghost Rider** » 2003-03-06 11:53pm

I play the sax...still do.

I used to play the trombone. Geez, that was so long ago.

Harpsichord, yes. Organ? Not really. With all the stops you have to pull out and push in while you play, plus all the foot pedals and the fact that you have at least two, sometimes three seperate keyboards, you'd have to be familiar with all that stuff to actually be able to say that you can play the organ too. You can add the celeste, if you like. That's a keyboard instrument that's just like the piano except it sounds like a music box.

*narrows eyes* You wouldn't happen to be talking about percussion instruments, would you now, boy-o? Grrrrrrr...

As for me, I play everything because I'm a music teacher. I play percussion professionally (that means they pay me to hit things!), and occasionally get paid to play piano too.
