I play French Horn and I sign (Bass Baritone). I used to play piano and mallets but my hand decided get fuck'd over my some nerve condition (Still going and getting worse).
I also compose and arrange great deal of music. I just got some of my pieces accepted in to my Local orchestra, working my way up from that.

Guitar for 3½ years, violin for 1½ years, growling/singing for ½ a year. And I totally kick ass.
I've been playing guitar for just over a year now, and I can do those too (with the exception of that bit in the solo of The Faceless.)

I'd like to learn to sing at some point too.

I pale in comparison to my youngest brother though...

He's 13 and already is comfortable with playing stuff like THIS on drums:


I feel outclassed... But he does have ~ 5 years of practice on me though - I will catch up!

I took piano lessons for ten years, and can kind of sort of play English horn (which is actually French) and French horn (which is actually German) and tin whistle.

But I mostly just sing.

Like my profile says, I play the bass (electric) and trombone.

I've ruined my wrist at the moment though, so I can't get much playing done.
A fellow Trombonist, eh?
Yeah. I've only played for a little more than a year though. I'm having some trouble keeping it up. Practicing the trombone is just so much more work than practicing the bass.

I played the violin and piano for a few years, but I don't really any more. I can still read music and all, though, so I can pick out a tune on the piano. Now though, I sing.

I started out on Guitar, but switched to electric bass about 3 years ago, now. Still play the guitar every now and then, but electric bass is just too much fun for me. :D


I also started playing the Double Bass a few weeks ago for the school concert band.

And I'm pretty confident that I could start on Piano, as well...

I agree. Though I didn't have the hands for bass when I was in high school.

Kinda. Only about grade 2.
That is impressive. Harps are one of the hardest instruments to learn how to play, give yourself a pat on the back

OT: Drums, guitar, acoustic guitar, tuba, keyboard, bass and I can sing both Tenor and Bass lines but I'm much more comfortable with Tenor

EDIT: if we are also putting down the most impressive things we can play, I can play most of the Hanger 18 lead guitar. Not on rock band though but I can on guitar hero, how odd

Hmmm. I wonder if I have the hands for bass.
Except from ruining my wrist, I haven't been having any trouble with the playing. I seem to reach all the notes I need to. Well, except for the last chord from Portratit of Tracy, but that chord is just crazy. And besides, if one does not have the reach to play like Pastorius, you can try more of a Richard Bona style of play, I figure. That guy just looks so realxed.

Edit: And may I ask what kind of bass/trombone you have?
My bass is a Yamaha RBX[lots of numbers], and my trombone is also a Yamaha.
I really want to get myself a Fender Jazz bass, but I figure buying one when I've only played for one year might be a bit of an overkill.

Drums for about five years. I dabble in other types of percussion too, recently bought a cajon.

Well, I've been around musical people all my life. I don't really play any instrument but, more or less, know the basics of bass, guitar, piano and various kinds of drums. Singing is something I'm familiar with, too, and I admire singers.
I've tried to play some of those regularly, but it's not for me. I prefer chilling on my own.

In order of how good I am at it: Guitar, bassguitar, drums. I also do vocals and I'm not too bad at it. I can also do death metal vocals quite well, though I don't really do them in the band I play in. I just think it's fun that I can.

I've been playing the piano for about eight years. I know basic guitar stuff.
I want to learn to play acoustic bass guitars and contrabass, and theremin.
