What Instrument do You Play?

Although I've played guitars off and on-- both acoustic and electric-- for over 40 years, I do not consider myself a musician, ie no professional work. I play mostly classic R&R, some blues, and some C/W. I play my stereo system much better though. The sounds of real instruments do help me keep a firm grasp on what real instruments sound like. Cheers. Craig

I have played drums since I was 16, 38 now, so quite a long time. I play with 2 bands (country and blues) but have a corporate day job, so it is just a hobby but very important to me. Seems like most of my hobbies revolve around music.... I want to start singing in a choir again as I like choral music.

My voice. I am singing Rachmaninov as part of a group the next two Sundays, in conjunction with a St. Petersburg Festival in Maryland.

I studied piano as a child for about 8 years and cello for 3 (around the same time.) Left them both for electric guitar as a teenager, for fun, and euphonium in the High School band. Studied shakuhachi in my twenties and now full circle back to the piano for the last 5 or so years. My system actually got me back to the piano by re-discovering my love of classical music and immersion in G.Gould's recordings. I think I aspired to be a classical pianist, as a youth, but stopped mentioning it when my brothers kept saying: "what!? a classical penis?"

Drums, cymbals, sounds, gongs.....I really focus in on the percusion instruments. I can tell alot about a system with familiar recordings and knowing the drums sonic signature. I only wish to be the one on those recordings while listening to them on my system. Keep on jamming!
