Just what the title says: do you play any musical instruments? If so, what ones? Discuss!

I play the piano a little bit. I have since I was a kid, and I love doing so.

However, I really don't use sheet music anymore, I just play things by ear. It takes more practice and muscle memory, but it's my preferred method.

I play bass guitar, drums, guitar, keyboards, and harmonica.

Well, nothing right now. T_T

Used to play the recorder and violin. Stopped playing violin last year after I was taken out of orchestra.

Nope. xD Never had patience to learn an instrument. Playing the reorder was mandatory in grade school, though. Never helped my education, but ah well, I can summon Satan with a Native American tune~

Used to play the guitar for a bit, however I've lost all musical ability to play it anymore.

A little on the piano, but I mainly sing.

I do a bit of piano back then. Now I pretty much only sing.

I've never played an instrument before (besides compulsory recorder in primary school), but this year I decided to start teaching myself to play piano. It's slow going, but I'm really enjoying it so far. It's also a good lesson in patience. xD

I can play acoustic guitar. That's pretty much it; I can't even sing for the life of me! xD I might try going into piano some time, and maybe bass and/or electric guitar as well.

I play piano/keyboard and produce music digitally. I post it on online, but I'm way out of practice. I wish I could play stringed instruments, like the harp, guitar, or the violin though.

Laughed way harder than I should have. I've seen this joke a million times but it's hilarious when you say it.

I would have said "Does the throat count?" but Eti already played the mayonnaise card.

I play a little bass, a little guitar, and I play the drums. I focus primarily on my vocals, though. Singing, rapping, or just the spoken word in poetry or speeches. Never say the vocal isn't an instrument. If the vocalist is good, it's up to the band to sound good with them. If the vocalist is bad, the entire band is bad. Because the first thing people tend to look for is the sound of the front man that defines the entire image and sound of that band.

I've also been known to play the saxophone, flute, and create digital music on the computer. Though, much like Trickywi, I am far out of practice.

I played the trombone in middle school, stopped playing in high school because there was no way i was going to carry that thing around and march LOL. Play the acoustic guitar mainly, mostly because it's quieter, I play the Ukelele, but not as much because i don't feel like buying the low G set of strings. I also make mash-ups and have entered a few remix contests for fun, let me know if you guys want the links to them, they're mostly older hiphop/rap, with a bit of RnB and Pop sprinkled in

I played piano when I was a kid but I didn't want to practice. I also know how to play the Trumpet and played that in Elementary school. I've tried to teach myself to play the guitar but it's rather hard seeing as how I play switched.

I played the trumpet when I was in the fourth grade (I played a killer O Canada) and picked up the flute the year after. Ever since, I've been playing it off-and-on, but since I left the band program I haven't been using it much. I also love vocals, but that's more of a hobby than anything serious. :>

Used to play the piano. I still do occasionally, but I primarily use a launchpad, my PC, and MIDI players to produce music nowadays. It's all about that DAW now, brah!

Couldn't of said it better myself. ^_^

Also keyboardist, vocalist, and drummer here. Need to polish my skills again though, my drums have been collecting dust.
