I can play the Piano...Piano...Piano....I can play the Piano....Pian..Pian...'O'.

So...

I am the music man...I come from down your way....what can you play....!


Simon

I play drums, and pretend that I can play bass.

I can play the drums and my aunties boyfreind has the drums that Aerosmith played in waynes world.

I do not play anything. However growing up I had always been fascinated with saxophones. Unfortunately the opportunity to play one never surfaced. :(

Piano and Clarinet.

I played the clarinet in Elementary school for 2 years... probably would have continued, but the 3rd year my original teacher left and the new guy was a complete ass, it ended up where just about everyone quit because he was so mean.

trumpet and saxophone

Trumpet, but I think I would like to try the sax sometime.

Geeetar

I can play keyboard ( computer keyboard ) :D :D :D

trumpet

I play the accordion...I am the polka man!

Trumpet, piano, guitar.

I wonder if Quake's railgun qualifies as an instrument.

I used to be able to play the piano as a kid.

hmmm vocals. learnt a little piano years ago and forgot it. also learnt some guitar and forgot it. vocals improving from yrs of abuse so i think im gonna pick up a bass guitar and try that. anyone wanting to join me will only need to know 'the chain' by fleetwood mac as thats all im bothered in playing (old Formula 1 fans will know why ;))

guitars, bass, drums, keys, trombone, latin percussion, I sing (sort of!). I love music! :cool:

I have been playing the piano since I was about 6 years old (I'm now 18). Mainly classical.

I still play it every now and then when I get time, but I don't play it as often as I like to.

I'm just a Baritone & Tuba kinda guy :)

I play hrmm.. . well nothing...

guitar
banjo
hammered dulcimer
pennywhistle

I started in Elementry School playing trumpet. Still got it! :)
Then in 6th grade, I busted up my lip playing football in the backyard, so I switched to baritone.

Then in 9th grade, I picked up the guitar. Chicks digged it. :)

Since then, I've played rhythm guitar, bass guitar, accoustic guitar.

Being now in my late thirty's and with a wonderful son, he's starting 4th grade this fall... He's going to play sax. Mostly because I want to play sax... :) The one instrument I never got to play, but always wanted to.

Oh, and a little piano, and of course, I can always fill in for a drummer...

Steve

Drums and Alto Sax

Guitar, Bass, I sing a little, and I like to think I can play drums...

Guitar (acoustic, electric/rhythm and some bass), piano, trumpet, sax, some drums, clarinet, french horn.

Guitar for 12 years
Piano for 14 years
Trumpet for 11 years
Sax, clarinet, french horn for 8 years
Drums - on and off (mostly off - lol)

And Voice - my main instrument -- ever since I could remember... Professionally trained -- 8 years.

I think we should all get together and form the WHT Band :D (or orchestra :))

--Shaun

I haven't had any real interest in playing an musical instrument. Actually I hate our school band. The jerks kept me awake in study hall for a week cause they got moved to the room next door because of someone else using the regular band room.

I enjoyed the years I was in Concert/Marching band (ok fine I hated band camp where I had to march my ass off )

But there's just something about creating music from what would seem chaos has a magical appeal to it....

But then again the years I was in the school band we hardly ever lost so that helped ^_^

Violin, 17 years. Non-professional by choice.:D

I play the guitar. :cool:

alto/tenor/soprano sax for 14 years. mellophone/trumpet for 5 years.

The WHT banned, more likely :D

Actually, you'd be surprised how you easily you can form a band or orchestra at your workplace, particularly if you work at a place with >15 employees. ;)

At my first job, at one point we had about 35 employees (this was a dot.com before it folded) and over half of us could play an instrument, to the point where we seriously considered forming a jazz band.

As for myself, piano/trumpet/percussion/timpanis are my fortes, and I'm aiming to learn the cello next. ;) Also play in two orchestras (including one of the state orchestras). Been classically trained at University as well, but like cpervica, non-professional by choice. :D

Band, yes. Orchestra, no.

An orchestra is much more structured than a band... you can throw together pretty much any combination of instruments and create a band, while an orchestra has certain fixed requirements. At an absolute minimum, four violins, two violas, two cellos, two each of flute, oboe, and clarinet, and a conductor. And they all have to be at somewhere close to the same level, since -- in orchestra -- you can't just decide that you don't want to play any solos.

Oxford has about 20 thousand students and a dozen orchestras; I doubt there are many places in the world which come even close to that ratio. I'd be surprised if any company (excepting those with a musical connection) with less than two thousand people could put together an orchestra.

I used to play the trumpet, I play quite a bit of piano (Started when I was 5). Found a guitar in my Grandma's attict and I've always wanted to play one so I'm trying to teach myself that :). I also can do a bit of mouth drumming, and I can play both my armpits and kneepits. :-D

Your a one man band...without any kit.

I can play certain people like a well tuned old fiddle.

Simon

I play the piano, guitar and drums (drum set, marching snare drums, bass drum, cymbals, timbali, etc.) - but sadly haven't got that much time for it anymore :-(

Piano :)

we really should form a band, maybe have divisions lol US, UK AU etc

I really enjoy playing the flute :)

I play Piano (since I was 4) as well as the bass and the trombone.

I can play the guitar a little bit, but not really that well.

Here is a bit of a sample of some of our band's stuff

http://ihate.allfeminism.com/e/clips.htm I could have uploaded more, but my connection is too slow for this kind of stuff

I play the piano and organ. I serve as the organist at my church.

There's nothing like having the power of 5 manuals, 205 ranks and 16,000 pipes under your fingertips.

I play with my wifes instrument :D

Err thats the piano ;)

Not that's power.

I was the organist at my church when I was a kid, and mine only had 3 manuals. It was a lot of fun to play. Great sound in that great big church! Ahh, the good old days...:)

I can play the triangle like no-one else can.

but mainly the piano and guitar.

Well... I'm a singer, and when I practise I'm pretty good at the piano. I can play a little guitar if I cut my nails, I'm better at the 3/4 bass (electric, and I have small fingers), I can keep a beat at the drums, but fills... no, I'm pretty good at the recorder, but only the soprano and piccolo because the others are too big (did I mention my small fingers?). I can also play a little on the flute, get a desent sound out of a violine (don't play it though), I've got one harmonica.

I also write music and record it on my computer where I have a full orcestra at my disposal.:)
