Piano is one of my favorite instruments, although generally not the most economical on space requirements or cost.

Some of the most beautiful music was written for the piano.


The space problem could be easily resolved by acquiring an upright piano. ;)
But I do understand, it is indeed a big instrument.

I used to play the piano somewhat well, now it's been reduced to...

A few... songs...

Mostly vocal cords, but also piano and oboe rather infrequently.

I play the piano and flute. I'm lucky enough to have a good grand piano and, council planning officers willing, will soon have a soundproof room for it and will then have no excuse for not practicing :)

I used to play clarinet/bass clarinet for my middle school and high school. I can still play it, I'd probably be a bit rusty.

Quite a list, there. Awesome. I also play piano and percussion (mostly keyboards). Recently I've been playing around with the recorder and the violin.

My skills vary depending upon the instrument, especially if they're not stringed. I can play acoustic guitar, electric guitar (although not particularly well), ukulele, mandolin, piano, accordian, melodeon, melodica, harmonica, chanter, a little violin and flute and just enough bass to form a basic rhythm. At one time I played drums moderately well but I've since sold my kit due to space requirements.

Of the instruments I play, I currently own:

Two acoustic guitars (one electro-acoustic), one electric, three ukueles (soprano, concert and baritone), one mandolin, a keyboard, a baby accordian, a melodica, a harmonia, a chanter and a violin.

let me put it this way: i HAVE played several.
many ages ago.
reasonably well. read music well. sight read poorly. and absolutely tin ear.
instruments i know how to make the intended notes come out of include french and other brass,
reeds and whistles, but not transverse flute, and keys but not strings.

wouldn't expect to be able to amuse anyone by doing so today,
other then by failing to put the right notes in the right place.
truth isn't what i say. isn't what you say. isn't what anybody says. truth is what is there, when no one is saying anything.

Flute, electric bass, guitar, saxophone, piano, and I can sing alright, nothing special. I also have a bunch of whistles, wooden flutes, theres a didgeridoo around here somewhere....

I prefer composing to performing though.

Guitar is my instrument right now. Not exactly of choice... If I was living alone and had enough money, I'd have a guitar, drums and a bass. I just need a little more money for a bass and drums that won't wake people two houses away from me.

I used to play a little bit of piano as a kid, played violin for a year, and I sing. I'd like to pick up piano and violin again, as well as learn the guitar.
