    I can play the piano, baritone/euphonium, and the trombone. At least I can in theory, anyway -- it's been a while.

    I can play the recorder, I used to play the trumpet, and I can, of course, play the Great Highland Bagpipes.

    I ask because it's usually something like that which causes outbursts like this, needless to say I dissagree completely.

    Guitar quite well, tuba quite well, and piano medium-well.

    I used to play the trumpet, only practice the guitar when I have to perform and of course the Great Highland Bagpipes and Scottish small pipes consume most my music time. I only wished I had started the pipes when I was much younger.

    Drums, like taiko, congas, kpanlogos, etc.

    I used to play bass guitar.

    I've tried Japanese flute, but haven't gotten too far.

    My dream is to play the kora.

    I can also play the drums, but not that well. And I'm trying to learn myself how to play the harmonica.

    Played the piano ages ago, but I doubt I could play it now aside from Chopsticks.

    I can do a mean kazoo solo though.

    I can play the samples in a way that they make up a song. Erm. Yes, I can arrange with some programs such as Dance eJay 6 and so on.

    Ok ok, this one was about instruments.









    I'm retarded. Although my teacher friend said that I'd ake a good guitarist, I couldn't take time to practice it.

    Alto Sax

    Not too much jazz though since I mostly practice classical stuff for competitions and the such. Too bad there isn't any saxes in orchestra, but I guess there can't be any since a great majority of repotoire music was wirtten decades or centries before the sax was invented

    Nay. Kudüm is any dish in your kitchen.

    So basically, Mouza is a typical Turkish single who gets bored while cooking spaghetti.

    I play the violin and both the acoustic and eletric guitar.

    I already have 8 years of violin under my belt, but I've only played the guitar for a year.

    I play percussion, in every sense of the word:

    Classically (tympani, snare, vibraphone, etc.), Drumset (Jazz, Rock, Latin, Funk, Fusion), beat-boxing, and just plain hitting on stuff to make a noise!

    Btw, I have to attend all-state band this afternoon, so I should probably get off the Org and get ready. It's kind of a big event, though I've been to it before.

    I started on the trumpet in 6th grade, but eventually switched to the French Horn, which I still consider the most beautiful and elegant instrument in the standard orchestra, though I haven't played one in years now. I wouldn't mind learning to play some of the more nonstandard instruments such as a lute or harp once I have the time to devote to it.

    I know the piano well enough to plunk out individual melodies or harmonies, but I can't flatter myself to say I play it.

    My main instrument however is my voice. I'm a music minor and lead tenor for the Westminster Chamber Singers (Utah not Britain).
