I have a rather expensive Yamaha PSR730 keyboard.
When i bought it, i had the intension to take lessons, but i never got round to doing so. So now it's leaning against the wall... for years already...
I do mess about with sequencers and drumcomputers. It's easier to program then to play live.

@lessons
I was a bit too impulsive with my spending at that time so i couldn't afford it. On top of the i had too many hobbies at once. I did try some selfeducation but i lacked the discipline to keep going.
Oh well, you're never too old to learn so i'll just keep postponing it until i do have the time. In about 36 years i'll retire...

Speaking of instruments, I just went to a bagpipe concert last night. Boy oh boy, those things just give me the shivers when I hear them live. There was a really awesome duet between a fiddle and a bagpipe that got two calls for an encore.
Overall, though, I would say that I enjoy the sound of the Violin the most. I took lessons in middle school for a year, but after that the program fell apart and that was the end of my violin learning days.

Well, I'm a music graduate and currently taking a postgrad so I guess I should join in on this conversation! <laughs>
I'm a grade 8 (like that means anything!) in saxophone and vocal. I play the soprano, alto, tenor and baritone saxophone and singing is my life. I have an electric guitar, electro acoustic guitar and bass guitar but that doesn't mean I'm very good! I play mediocre piano and recorder. I've just started learning the shakuhachi (thats a traditional japanese end blown flute) and am hoping to train under a really good tutor when I find one.
I think thats it.. as I said though.. singing really is my life and I'd do anything to do it for a living - lead singer in a rock band with influences rooted in both western and j rock. Can I find a band though?
Thats me!

I have in the past played the flute(in a marching band) and on occasion played a tune or two on the tin whistle(penny whistle) I have always been interested in guitars, probably because we Irish enjoy a real good old fashioned "knees up" I have never been able to read a note of music, I seem to play by ear, and by listening to my Father, traditional music is incorporated into our way of life, hence the reason I play the tin whistle,
@midnitestar7, I would love to hear you sing!!!
@bagpipes, hmmm I've had the privilege to hear them a few times, and they are magnificent
@violin, I have only once heard a violin played with great excitement and speed, (on Holladay)it was an unforgettable experience, one that I wish I could repeat!!!!

I played for about 10 years of percussion. I was in two bands... but then both bands fell apart. I had no place to play anymore by myself since we just had a flat and you can't play the percussion there, so I stopped. now, 4 years later, I live in another city, I could theoretically play again... hmm... at ti, as I think about it... I played mostly Konga, Tumba and other large hand-played rums or metallophone.
I used to play piano. Not that I liked playing the musical instrument, but my parents wanted me to. I would prefer to play harp, but my parents were afraid that I would not be able to handle it. They were worried that I might be flattened by it; I was weak, sickly and worse, only 5 feet tall..and still am.
What songs do you sing usually, teardrop? I love to sing too! I was a soprano in school choir. Then I was trained to be both mezzo soprano and tenor. These days I am so inspired by singers like Norah Jones, Diana Krall and the late Rosemary Cloony, that I only sing jazz and blues.

I used to play the violin, and a little bit piano. I studied violin playing in this sort of academy for 12 years, i stopped it 5 years ago... then i just wanted to stop, i felt so frustrated with it, and with the academys requirements.
Now i feel sad and i miss my violin...I can't play it in my appartment, because of the other people living in here, and I feel too embarrased to play in my parent's house, after 5 years..I guess i'm too proud
I'd love to play some jazzy things with it, or some rrreal tango, or electric violin would be cool too...like vanessa mae.. hih

Playing the violin for 12 years and then quit? Owch, that's hard. Maybe buy an electric one? Pop on your headphones and no one will hear
Me, I like to play synths..got a few and play/program them a lot.
I like to play the flute as well and about every other instrument I might come across..
Piano is great too, but I had to sell mine as I went to live in a smaller flat. *sob*
Never had any lessons though.
