What Other Instruments Can You/ Do You Play?

Satish Robertson · 06-19-2006, 10:18 AM

I'll start this one off. In order of proficiency, I play trumpet, I can also play a bit of piano (which was my first instrument); I also have a nylon string guitar that I mess around on sometimes; and I once briefly played electric bass.

As of yet, the trumpet is the only axe I'm worthy of being paid to play.

I play electric bass in a garage band of guys I went to high school with. It's a blast.

Currently I sing Tenor with our church choir and occasionally sing for weddings, although I am not currently pursuing singing gigs - not enough time in the week!

I play the violin, which I've been much longer than trumpet, and a bit of piano. Trumpet's the most fun, thou.

Trumpet/Cornet and 6 string acustic guitar a little!

Very impressive Meldog!

Well, I'm a band director, so it really isn't fair...

Flute, Clarinet, Sax, Horn, trombone, tuba, percussion (timpani, snare, marimba to an extent). I can squawk a bit on oboe, but it sounds more like a chickadee getting...well... no need to go there, eh?

Of all of them, I like playing flute and percussion the most besides trumpet. Reed instruments make my corners feel like they are 2x4 lumber. Don't like that.

Drums...to help my time
Piano...to help my harmony

purely for my own enjoyment I fool around on the electric bass [play along blues cd's are great]. Dave
