I'm normally not one to make threads on OT, but I feel okay making threads here! :D

Do you play any instruments? If so, what do you play?
If not, do you aspire to play any?
Just talk about the instruments you play, wish to play, or don't wish to play here. :D

As for me, my main instruments are the flute and piano.
I can also play the viola, piccolo, tin whistle, etc.
I have two guitars (acoustic and electric), but I'm really not very good at the guitar... Eventually I want to stop being lazy, though, and get around to really getting into it.
I'd really like to learn how to play as many instruments as possible, but especially the trumpet!

I don't play any, but I really wish that I could play the piano. Anything would be good, though. I need to write music for my lyrics.

Piano.

I used to be learning the guitar but then my fingers broke, and nobody likes long fingernails anyway! 

I greatly want to play the drums because I enjoy hitting things rhythmically. And if you hit a piano too hard it breaks. If you hit a drum too hard it might also break, but it'd be awesome instead of several thousand dollars down the drain.

I used to take piano lessons when I was little as part of other things my mum forced me to take. I wasn't interested back, so I eventually dropped it. I regret that now.

I can play the guitar now though.

I play bass guitar, electric guitar, some piano, some harmonica and I attempt to sing on occasion.

Drumming involves way too much co-ordination for me.

Aye, but it has been a while since I did them regularly. I did one as a joke today in school and a friend of mine said it was good, but it was one of the worst I'd ever done.

I just wish my voice wasn't as deep so that I could do hardcore screams (like Dennis Lyxzen) properly. Whenever I try it ends up sounding like Im singing Black Metal.

I can, if death metal is the right thing. I sent something to the Irishman and he thought it was a real song! A bad one maybe, but nevertheless!

Maybe, but he's a hardman so I'm not sure.

 

I used to take piano lessons when I was little as part of other things my mum forced me to take. I wasn't interested back, so I eventually dropped it. I regret that now.

I can play the guitar now though.

If I was forced to take piano lessons I woudln't want to do it!

I play the guitar and sing as well. Here's a video for an example of my work. Unfortunately, my work is covers.

I tried to learn how to play the piano but that didn't really work out for me. Since I could never really read the music without writing what the note was above it and I couldn't stop looking at my hands. And I never understood really want to do with my left hand. :P So that never worked out....but when I was a kid I did use to what to learn how to play the violin but never did though.

Depends if you want formal education or just want to make good sounds. All of my guitar theory comes from bass playing, so I know scales and arpeggios, but I can't tell you what chord is which, only if they sound good.

I never had any formal education, I was mostly self-taught. Of course, I also took some help from online video tutorials.

I'm 95 percent self taught(since my mother taught me the A D and E chord and I went all from there). And i'm the same here, I don't know what bar chord i'm playing, I just know it sounds good.

I taught myself how to play the piano, and I've been teaching myself (albeit poorly) how to play the guitar.
I learned how to play the viola when I was 10 at my elementary school, and I leanred how to play the flute when I was 11 at my elementary school. I figured out the piccolo (same fingerings, different breathing) on my own.

So...I guess I'm about half self-taught.

Yeah, it's been pretty hard. It was easy enough to figure out the instrument and how it works and whatnot, and it helped that I already knew how to read music, but it's been hard to really get into it on my own. I'm not great, but that could partly be due to the fact that I don't practice as often as I ought to.

I was a percussionist for a long time, high school and college. Ironically, I'm not very good at the drum set. I can play a bit of piano, though I failed at teaching myself the guitar.

I've played guitar for twenty years, although the last ten have been hampered by an injury to my left hand. I don't let it stop me from writing songs though.

I played violin and flute as a child and violin in the college orchestra.

I know some piano, I was forced to take a year of piano cIasses to get a music degree.

I also dabble with electric bass guitar, mandolin, percussion and alto sax.

I play drums. I alright at it in the grand scheme of things, but for my age I like to consider myself good. :)

Let's just say I have an advantage over my friends due to sticking with one instrument for 10 years instead of half learning several. I can also play a little piano.

I'm one of the worst piano players ever, but it's my instrument of choice, combined with my trusty synth racks.

Want to get into drums too, if only to mash out some beats to lay over onto tracks.

I had a stint on the sousaphone as well. It didn't work out so well because the breathing is much different from a baritone. It requires more

I play guitar. Took a class in High school and the BARE basics. Since then I have taught myself from books, internet, etc. I have a piano and I intend on learning it soon or later.
