Just curious as to whether there are any other musicians on the board (other than Strat and I). If so, what do you play (or at least pretend to play :wink: ).

I play, well, lots. Too much, in fact. A little bit of everything, but I'm not perfect on anything.

I play:

Piano (mostly jazz)
Organ (weddings, etc.)
Acoustic Guitar (James Taylor, Neil Young, Dan Fogelberg, Jim Croce... that kind of stuff. Getting into a bit of Tommy Emmanuel fingerstyle now)
Trombone (jazz)
Trumpet (jazz)
Euphonium (classical, and only when I absolutely have to :wink: )
Fife/Pennywhistle (does that count? :lol: )
Sort of a little flute and clarinet, but I hate to play them both!
Sing tenor, baritone, or bass... whatever is needed :D


Anyone else?

Guitars - ESP electric / Ovation acoustic (28 years)
Harmonica (Special 20's - usually in a rack)
Tin Flute (8 note)
Keyboards (the wrong way...figured out from guitar chords, but fun)

well some people don't consider myself a musician, but I'm into turntablism, hence the "dj" part of my screen name. I've been spinning beats, scratching, and mixing all sorts of music for 8 years now. I love it!

I used to play the trombone.. a far cry from my musical hobbies now!

I pretty much just sing. Tenor in choral music and Bass in barbershop. I compete internationally with my quartet and larger chorus of 25.

In High School, I once made All State chorus despite the fact that when they gave me the slip of paper with handwritten notes on it for sight reading test, I held it upside down and sang it backwards. That sort of confused them. They made me do it again- no pressure there. Then one of the judges got up and looked over my shoulder, reached over and turned the music right side up. Then he looked at what I had read and what I had sung and said. "Close enough, she sang what she saw."

I played tenor sax in high school too. Tried the glockenspeil but it was too hard to play with 2 hammers and marching at the same time. See why I don't ski?

BMM already mentioned, but yeah, guitar, clarinet, dabble in piano (okay I took lessons for 7 years with renowned jazz pianist Bruce Sklar, but I never got too good)... I know how a bass guitar works but I'm not too good at playing it... can't sing, at all. Haha... I'd like to branch out more instrumentally though...
