As I am immensely bored and have nothing what so ever to do I decided to make a little thread, one that I don't really think that will become very popular. :(
But anyways. I just wanted to ask if there was anyone here that played any musical instruments, if so please tell us all about it. We all care.
I'll go first: As many of you might already know I play the violin, that's my profession, I can also play the viola, I wouldn't say equally as well as the violin but close. I as well can play OK on the piano although it's actually just above that of an amateur. And then I know the basics of cello playing, I am still struggling to become better on it.
Next is YOU!
Hmmm, interesting thread idea!
I am a percussionist, specializing in rudimental snare and mallets (Though by specializing, I mean that those are my stronger areas, not that I'm any good at it ^^')
I've also played the piano intermittently for about ten years now.
I've also recently started playing the violin, though I'm really no good at it ^^'
So that's me, How about you?
I used to play the string bass and Ive dabbled in violin. I dont play anymore tho.
Yargh! Instrumental booth, eh? Omoshiroi! Then, lessee...
Aside from knowing the basics of guitar and percussion (since I've specialized in music since i was 10, I've had had to learn those), I can play the bass in a fashion, and pick out stuff on the piano. But my main instrument (and the only instrument i own) is the fangly saxophone, which i've been playing for something like 8 years now.
Ahh, a pianist, bassist and a phonist, as a good friend of mine said.
Quote from: "Tsubashi"I've also played the piano intermittently for about ten years now.
For ten years eh... so you must be pretty good by now.
You can tell if your able to play flight of the bumble bee twice as fast as the original tempo.
QuoteI used to play the string bass and Ive dabbled in violin. I dont play anymore tho.
I have to admit that it always makes me a bit sad when I hear of people who quit playing instruments.
But well that can't helped.

Well that sounds like jazz player.
And eight years on the saxaphone, I can barely make sound out of it.
Hehe, well I am mostly specialized in Jazz, but thanks to having a blastingly good (not exactly abolute, but quite close to) pitch, I can play almost anything after listening through it a few times, depending on how hard the piece is. And I should probably add I'm even better at singing as well...*brag*
Downside is I've got a concert with my class and senpais in two weeks, and I've got a hell of a lot of repetition to do. Luckily my abilities aid me quite well since I usually learn most stuff in half the time the others do...which is damn good for me since i absolutely SUCK at studying. -w-
I guess I'm a little too much like Haruhi and Konata for my own good ^^
Well it is actually a part of being a musician to be able to know how to play pieces after just listening to it. I for example (If you let me brag as well) can catch up on tempo immediately, and how to play (the shorter pieces that is), the more longer ones I.E. concertos often takes about 5 times if I don't have the notes.
You also need to have a good memory mind you.
Well...I play the guitar, and I'm picking up on the drums. ^^; I LOVE my black Explorer (that's my electric guitar, for those of you who don't know). It's my overall favorite guitar. I have to admit, though, getting instruments and equipment sure takes a lot of patience, effort, and cash. >.< But I feel it's all worth it in the end. ^_^
I play drums, keyboard, and keytar. I have recently started taking guitar lessons though...
Taking up a tool of music would be fun but I don't have the spare time or money to do so.
I know the basics of the keyboard....I'd like to learn more, though :)
To learn the keyboard is very easy if you know the basics and have a good sense of rhythm.
i got low sense of rythem... so i often make mistake during playing the piano... since i moved to my new home, i didnt play it anymore
Hey, even I'm good at keyboard! I mean, I'm typing on it right now!
(kekekekekekeke :D)
I played the piano for 10 years. then quit because it stopped to interest me. I play the guitar on a rather basic level and wrote my own songs on it, but then the band dissolved and I also lsot interst in it (yes, I was young at that time).
man, i still cant play guitar right now.
think i'll study some later
I've been playing the guitar for a while, and my vocals aren't all that bad.
i rather play an instrument than singing... i got terrible voice
I play guitar. I preety suck at it.
Well that's only natural if you're thinking like that.
You need to be proud of yourself, do it because you're good at it. You are the best guitar player out there!
Now you should go practice more =P
i used to play piano and keyboard but i guess i have already forgotten them-v-
No waissu, lovee-san! All you have to do is sit down at one and play again, and your rusty skills will shake it all off and get jiggy with it ^^
um... i hope so^ ^
anyway playing an instrument is really fun^o^ and i wanna learn guitar, but i don't have one and i don't have enough money to buy oneT_T
You might be able to pay for use in some music schools.

"No waissu"?
Somebody's been watching a BIT too much pita-ten. You starting to sound like Misha.
Not a single episode, actually. The 'ssu' thing just came on its own, really...Dunno where it came from really. Although i think i have a hunch that it might have involved ~desu, it might not be completely accurate...
Okay...the instrument i played.....Recorder and Guitar (accoustic, i can't play electric guitar)....
Er....torturing instrument and dissection instrument ? ;012

actually, "ssu" reminds me To Kairin (maybe it writes like this -v-) in You're Under Arrest (Taiho shichauzo) ^ ^
Hm, nope, not watched that either...
Where the hlell did it come from?!?!
What interesting ^^!!!...
I play some of keyboard and drums (At begin I martirize with a guitar... but no more ¬.¬')...
Can we to be a group ^¬^?...
Do instruments of torture and destruction count?
I have an iron maiden, an electromagnetic pulse device buried in Kowloon, and several thermonuclear devices...
*ponders the real question*
I used to play the recorder and clarinet before high school...
Well... if torture instruments are OK ^^...
I can use an DVD and VHS too ^.^...
Added after 36 minutes:
Seriously ^^...
I have some songs and... I wish to know your opinion about it ^^ (But arranges of "Ternura" still I guess are out >.<!)...

Definitely my favorite is "Del corazón" °(^o^)°...
Edit: Sorry, I have my files outline because I now current re-arrange it ^x^...
In grade 5, I played the recorder. I hated it. In grade 7, I played the keyboard. Couldn't play it very well but I kinda liked it. In grade 8, I played clarinet. I played it well but half way through the semester I lost my ability to play it XD
I used to play the cymbals when I was in high school...but I hated it...
*Sigh*
Everyone seems to not like the instruments they played, it makes me so sad...

Not really. I'd liked playing the keyboard and clarinet even though I wasn't very good at it. But I'd LOVE to learn how to play the violin and piano! ^-^
I played the recorder back in grade 8. It was mandatory as part of our curriculum. I kept the recorder after grade 8 and played it occasionally but later it then broke, and I've never owned a single instrument since, yet I just play around on my friend's Piano and Keyboard.
It's kind of a shame when I think about it, not playing any instruments that is, but I have no idea what I'd like to play. There's no way I'll ever get a career with music, I'm personally not interested in it to that degree, but it would be nice just to have something to play.
I'm not exactly interested in continuing on with any musical instrument but I liked playing it when I had it. But you people who are seriously into your musical instruments, I hope you'll continue strong and enjoy your time playing. It takes some determination to keep at it, and I respect all of you who have.
Everybody (If hate it) continue the search for your beloved instrument ^-^ (I too ^^)...
well .... I don't know if counts ... but I'm a bass player .... ...i have playing alone like 2 years ago .... ..... and i want to start a new band .....
