Hi!

I play the Bass Tubas in E flat and B flat(that´s my main instruments, by the way), other instruments I play are:
Piccolo(I actually started with the Piccolo first, before the Flute! I like the Piccolo better though, is that normal?), Flute, Clarinet, Bass Clarinet, Trombone?(Can´t say I play it, really. I´ve only played it once, during a rehearse with the community band in the break. People was pretty chocked as after one minute, I was playing the tromboneists trombone part without too much of a problem!), Euphonium(I´m playing it in the school band) and Piccolo Recorder(just for fun). That´s pretty much it, I think(of the wind instruments at least).

Sorry if I made any spelling mistakes, I´m Swedish so please mind me and correct me if I made any mistakes.
Thank you.

I play the harpsichord

Do you own a harpsichord myfan? If so, where did you get it from?

I teach (and play) piano, keyboard, voice, guitar (acoustic and classical). I also play tenor, treble, descant recorder (love Baroque music for this), harmonica - really badly! , clarinet, flute, ocarina, tin whistle (heaps of fun), zither, autoharp, drums, glockenspiel, and just recently the violin! My third instrument (voice 1st, recorder 2nd) was the spinet organ: split level keyboards with foot pedals ( unsure.gif oh dear, now you're getting a sense of my age!) This is the only instrument I no longer own. sad.gif

From the age of 9 one of my goals was to learn as many instrument as I could! Some people collect stamps - my hobby is a little more expensive rolleyes.gif

One instrument I have ALWAYS wanted to own and play is cello! Maybe one day ...

Does anyone play the cello?

I play ...harp


What a beautiful instrument. Do you own one? Are they very expensive? Are they difficult to play?

I play the saxophone, but 1 of my friends plays the Clarinet, Piano, Cello, Violin, Double Bass, Guitar, Percussion, Alto Saxophone, Soprano Saxophone and a few notes on the trumpet.

Considerably more than I would have admitted to six months ago! 4 now as opposed to 1 then.


Cheers

Wow... so many instruments...

I'm on just the one - piano - though I did once play the violin when I was younger for three years and rather unsuccessfully (I was still squeaking after three years), and the clarinet for one year when I was younger (about ten) and then for another year last year as a year ten student, before dropping it because of other pressures... and the guitar which I "play" (if you can call it that) for leisure (without skill).

And I play the xylophone in my school orchestra. Does that count? tongue.gif
