Clarinet isn't too difficult I heard :P

[Bmble_B]

I wish I knew how to play an instrument, I wanna learn how to DJ

[eli_w]

Currently attending college for music technology and production, been music producing on computers for probably 2-3 years

but been playing piano for around ~8 years, trumpet for ~10, guitar for ~4



PS.
Wouldn't consider DJing a musical instrument. Especially if you're not even playing out songs that you yourself made. More like a mixer, or just someone that decides what pre-recorded songs play at a given moment

If you're utilizing midi controllers or manipulating/processing sounds in some way shape or form, that's closer though. Using technology and hardware equipment to create your own musical compositions

[Magus]

I have been playing tuba for around, six months or so. I suck at it of course.

Now I have my dad's old Telecaster just collecting dust in my room and I'm considering starting to learn how to play guitar.

Cello has an amazing warm sound, among the best of any instrument. I wish I knew how to play it

In all fairness, it's a nice instrument. I just had the worst and scariest instructor ever :P

[mai-rin]

Piano, but i'm self taught and mediocre at my best

[Abhorrence]

I learnt piano when I was 10, I can still play it. I learnt a bit of guitar but my fingers locked up was when I was fretting because I'm like double-jointed or something - so I couldn't play very well.
We also learnt Clarinet in school, I can play that decently.

[Tony_777]

I've been wanting to learn drums for about 2 years though. My mums present for my birthday last year was an introductory drum lesson but I never got it -.-

[Thunderstorm]

Trumpet, this is my 7th year doing it and I still suck!

[thetransylvanianguy]

I am literally obliged to sing with a recorder once a week. I can say that I don't master it yet! (even if I have been studying it for a whole year!).

[the main man]

concert Pianist

[terrydactyl]

I play alto saxophone, which I've played for just over 2 years now. In primary school, I played both piano and violin, but never got anywhere, and I kind of regret giving them up. I'd also love to be able to play the drums or guitar.

[aalleexx]

Piano :)

[VictoriaShadows]

I used to play the oboe in 6th grade

[maniamsmart]

I really wanna learn how to play Violin :/ It's such a beautiful instrument.

[orchadork]

It is, but the most beautiful will probably have to be the cello

[maniamsmart]

That's another type of violin, no?

[orchadork]

no. There are (from lowest pitch to highest) in a string orchestra Bass, Cello, 3rd Violins, 2nd Violins, and 1st Violins. 1st, 2nd, and 3rd violins are all just straight up violins (you can play any part with one violin) it's just where on the musical staff you are playing.

Ah I see. I just YouTubed the differences and yeah you could really tell the difference, I too like the Cello.

[orchadork]

In school orchestras there are usually no 3rd violins.

[nick_1999]

Piano, 9 years and counting

[Capto]

About a decade of classically-trained, romantically and impressionistically-inclined piano.

Until middle school I used to play the shamisen for about a year.

[Dygarde]

For my class in college I am learning the Piano. Other than that, the only "Instrument" I have used is my voice which has gotten me to District, State and National Music festivals. Music runs in my blood and I love it. However I developed polyps and my singing career ended pretty rapidly. I still sing, but now I take it a lot easier than before. I also lost about half of my range both in the high range and my lower range.
Polyps, for those who don't know, are like blisters on your vocal cords.

I mainly play piano (for the last 13 years or so) but I play nine other instruments with varying degrees of proficiency, mostly self-taught. I had a lot of time on my hands in school.

I'm also a trained classical/musical theatre vocalist.
