We all know that Ichigo's is a great place to find music and such, but what instrument do you guys play? It doesn't have to be common stuff like the piano. Anything is fine and you can list them out too. You don't need to include any description if you don't want to.

Let's see... I play the...

- Piano
- Flute (I'm at best with this instrument)
- Acoustic Guitar
- Alto Saxophone
- Tenor Saxophone

I think that's about it. :3

Well, to help keep the music section alive, and because I'm a fellow Ichigo'ian.

Lets see, I properly play (in the way of grading and exams, and are proficient in)

Flute
Alto Flute
Clarinet
Acoustic Guitar
Electric Guitar
Harp
Oboe

And the instruments I can play (but don't do exams or any form of grading or I'm not particularly proficient at. eg. not a high music level.........yet)

Contrabass Flute
Mandolin
Bouzouki
Bass Guitar
Violin
Banjo

I think that's it. Maybe..........

Whoa... That's a lot more instrument then I can handle! I couldn't remember all of those fingerings! I would've lost my mind to it! But it's cool playing these instruments, especially the harp and violin. I always wanted to play those, but never got the time to sit my butt down and at least learn the notes.

Lol, harp's tricky but I love it. I can play violin but I'm not exactly proficient at it or anything :heh:, can play a few songs and can read simple stuff. Both require very different types of learning and study though.

I'm kind of addicted to music:whistle:

What the hell? All those instruments and no piano?

And for the thread: I play Piano, King of the Instruments! =D
In the future I'd like to pick up guitar, violin, ukulele, and some sort of wind instrument.

I Try to keep to one instrument, "strengthening" my success at that instrument wich is violin.

But i also play the piano
and drums

Awesome! Those are all great instruments you all are playing! I can only play concert instruments. Trying to get away from it besides the guitar and piano. I should really learn how to play the violin... It's quite true to stick to one instrument and master it. There should always be the main instrument and the supportive... I think. :blink:

Order of most (sort of) proficient to the least:
Classical Guitar (which I play like an acoustic)
Piano
Violin

I play the guitar the most (only for fun), sometimes jamming out with my friend who plays drums and singing when no one's home. :whistle:

Piano, I took for three years, learned a few songs (for example Fur Elise, medium difficulty arrangement); it's not fun practicing it 'cause I only have a unweighted keyboard.

I faded in and out with the violin, even though it's my favorite instrument. I wish I owned one, helps to have the instrument to practice with ;)

I have to agree with you there. It's quite hard when you have a piano that's not real. The first piano I had was electronic, which didn't have enough keys on them. So then my parent had to get another one. It looked real, but it was still electronic. Man... I wanted to get a real piano, but my family doesn't have enough money for those. :cry:

It also reminds me that my tenor saxophone wasn't mine at all. It was my school's and I really want to own one, but all we have was a rented alto saxophone, which I stink at it. :whistle:

acoustic guitar and its irritating becuas eno one on this site puts up tabs for guitar players

What the hell? All those instruments and no piano?

:heh: I tried to learn to play piano, I could never press the keys down at a constant speed making some notes too long or short and I always went out of time. And yes that is different for something like harp you pluck the strings, not press a key (it didn't help me that some of the piano's had differently weightly keys <_<)

And salsalover, all you have to do is request tabs on the sheet music request section. I'm sure someone would be able to do it. Its just that tab is pretty much only used by guitarists and sheet music has more advantages.

Well, it is true that the piano is quite difficult if you can't make the speed, and that's okay. I, myself, have trouble with that a couple of time. You just need to slow it down at first, learning the notes, then start speeding up the tempo. You should then now play at a normal speed with the music. (It takes me at least a week to do it smoothly. I can't sightread very well... Unless I practice it intensely) :think:

I feel so inadequate.

I only play the piano, but I'm also pretty good at hand-percussion (like congas, tambourine, shakers, etc.) because I can keep a good beat in my head. I also sing. My parents and brother are all professional musicians, and my mom always told me that if I could accompany myself singing on the piano, I would never go hungry, no matter where in the world I was.

Even though I'm a receptionist now, I still think about, like, flying off to Japan or Sweden or something and playing in a hotel lobby. :D

Oboe

Nice combination. I wish I can play the violin, but we don't have any time for that. TT;;

Nice combination. I wish I can play the violin, but we don't have any time for that. TT;;

Oh....
Playing the violin is a bit hard ar first... :lol:

I play piano, but I want to learn the electric guitar someday (so I can record riffs and solos into my work).

you guys are all so multi -instrument talented.
All i got is the piannuu ;P

Don't worry about that. If you just know one instrument, you could master it. I mean, some people can't play more than one instrument in my school, but they're especially at master level with the one instrument they have. Some of us just have the time to learn another instrument and enjoy it. (Like me, I don't really enjoy playing the guitar sometimes, but I do enjoy playing the piano and flute!)

Generalization is >_>
Specialization is :D :D

I play:
Violin (13y)
Piano (3y)
Viola (2y)
I can sort of play guitar (if just mindlessly strumming chords and singing stuff with it counts)

Nice, you can play the Viola!

The guitar is hard at first, don't worry. When I first started off, I did the same thing you did, mindlessly just strumming random chords and notes.

I've been playing piano for almost 8 or 9 years now. I used to play violin in elementary school, but I gave that up to focus on one instrument. I'm thinking about picking up bass and/or guitar soon.

Piano - 10 years
Violin - currently learning for 8-9 months, I started in 3rd grade, dropped it, and I've picked it up again.
Guitar - currently learning without a teacher >_< - 5-6 months

I've also played flute and recorder before, but those were like...epic fail, lolz. And I'm a percussionist in my school bands(bells, xylophone, chimes, etc.).

Piano-4 years

Oh, yeah, and I play the piano - indeterminate amount of time :/

*anime fall*

How do you forget to mention that you play piano?

I play violin, and i used to play saxaphone. I also know a little of guitar.

I play the piano best.

I can play the flute and the guitar too.

But I love the piano the most :)

It seems that most people knows how to play the piano, guitar and flute. Those other instruments like the recorder, saxophone, etc, are all awesome too.

Don't forget the violin! :)

Yes, I can't forget the violins also. :3

Yeah, violins sound the best, but are also one of the hardest to play. Guitars have chords and frets to play with, pianos have keys, flutes and other woodwinds have holes to mark, but violin is just a plain black or brown neck with 4 strings.
Sounds awsome when played though.

Umm...violin isn't actually all that hard...to start playing anyways.
It takes a while to get used to holding it and the bow properly, but with a good tutor/teacher(private lessons) and some tape, getting the basics is easy.
>_< It's the harder techniques(and songs) that really start to kill you...

And it's not like all those other instruments you mentioned are easy...

Well that may be, but the tape feels weird (in my case), and i cant really play with it a whole lot. The vibrato and harmonics really are easy for me though.
However, Saxaphone was simple to learn, but guitar has so many notes, i gave up to too much memorization.

Lolz, what kind of tape did you use? I can't even feel the tape on my violin XD.

I would love to play a wind instrument(I've always wanted to play trumpet >_<), but after flute...well, I have sports asthma, so I have trouble holding out long notes on wind instruments.

I only started guitar a few months ago, but I agree, it does have a lot of notes. But playing single notes isn't the only method, and although I don't play by single notes, I'm sure there's some kind of pattern(like all other string instruments) that will save you time from having to memorize every single note(if that's really how you want to play it...).

I dont bloody know, i just used some special tape they suggested, and i still didnt like it.
It's not just single notes, but also chords that make it alot.

Lolz.

Yeah, there are a lot of chords too. That's all I pretty much know for now, seeing that I'm currently without a teacher. I can't play 99% of the songs I want to learn because I don't know the chords ><. Just goes to show how long I've been playing, lolz.

Don't worry. You guys should just learn by yourself. Even though you can't memorize them all, do it in little chunks. Nobody is going to kill you for learning little by little. That's how I learned my guitar. (Though I still have many other scales and chords to memorize... TT )

I can play violin and guitar. Honestly, I am more interested with the guitar. Each time my brother plays it, I just watch while he is strumming. Since, guitar is a string instrument; it was already easy for me to apply my skills in playing violin. Ohh, my father was the one who bought the violin for me when I was in high school.

Well, it's true that when you know one instrument that is related to another, it'll be much easier to learn and know how to play it than someone that doesn't know. (Like me, since I play the flute, the tenor saxophone was a breeze)

I can play the piano and used to (I probably still could,actually) play the alto sax. I actually don't think I'm very good with either of them. I also wish I could play the violin.

Edit: Did some research.

OH.
Wow....
Err...note to Nyu001...not that I would trust cello&guitarplayer's profile, but according to that...um...female.
And...for an English teacher, that's some horrible grammar XD

I play the viola. This is my third year.

Awesome instruments you guys are all playing! I wish I can learn more... You guys inspired me since I want to play these instruments in the future... IF I HAVE TIME. TT;;

Is it true that the electric guitar is much easier than the acoustic? I'm playing the acoustic guitar right now if you're wondering. *Did I mention that on the thread? No? Guess I gotta change it*

The easier part about the electric guitar is that the strings usually are a lot looser (less blisters), and the tone is usually distorted so bad strums turn out okay, sometimes.

The core difficulty (memorization) is still just as hard, and the electric guitar has it's own components of complications (focused mainly on modulators and amps).

Is it true that the electric guitar is much easier than the acoustic? I'm playing the acoustic guitar right now if you're wondering. *Did I mention that on the thread? No? Guess I gotta change it*

Stop by Guitar Center or some local guitar store and check them out. Electric guitars have lower action than acoustic guitars. Choosing an electric guitar that's right for you is overwhelming, not to mention the amps and misc. stuff involved.


I play only the piano. I want to learn the electric guitar in the future as my 2nd instrument.

I'm surprised at the number of multi-instrumentalists here. In comparison, I only play four instruments, and all at a fairly mediocre level,
since I don't practice as much as I should (Severe lack of self-discipline, and also no one to kick my a** into doing it).

Piano, Electric Bass Guitar, Violin, and Classical Guitar (In the order that I started learning them).

Instruction: Had some piano lessons many many years ago as a kid. I had two lessons on bass guitar, last autumn, but didn't like the
teacher. Violin I picked up on my own. Classical guitar, I recently took a group class for it, and am planning on taking another one in a
couple/few weeks.

Besides the instruction listed above, rest is self taught. I'm planning on finding a violin teacher for at least a few lessons, just so I don't
teach myself improper technique. Since I don't play it all that much though, who knows when I'll get around to that.

The bass is what I practice the most these days, so I guess I'd call it my "main instrument".

Well, I teach myself how to play. I did take some piano lessons when I was young in New Jersey and moved to Florida, but quit doing it a year ago. First reason, I don't have any time. Second reason, the instructor basically doesn't teach me anything. It's more like I'm learning myself and wasting money, so I decided to teach myself. TT

But those are all great instruments to play. Some people just don't have the time to sit their butts down and practice a couple of scales, notes, songs, etc. ESPECIALLY playing another instrument. So it's great that you all can play while balancing the time of your own schedule. :3

And...for an English teacher, that's some horrible grammar XD

0_0?

Err...your post(the last one) of avacado's (cell&guitarplayer) thread, "stereotypes?".

Oh, lol.

...What if she was, and was merely unused to computers? And thus had to swear a lot?

Hey guys, let's try not to fill this thread with off-topic posts. That person is banned and in the past now. Time to move on.

Unless she created a fourth account or is secretly watching us...

...

Anyways, slightly on topic; anyone want to do something like a massive Ichigos collaboration on something...?

Composing or transcribing? Or something completely irrelevant to music?

Not composing nor transcribing, but playing some piece scored for like an orchestra or something. I'm sure we could pull it off if enough people wanted to...

Like the youtube orchestra?

I started off with the clarinet in 4th grade, learned cello in 5th (and subsequently was in both Orchestra and Band until Middle School, darn schedule conflicts )': ). In 9th grade, I picked up bari sax. In 10th, I learned flute for Marching Band, and a few months after that I learned piccolo.

Unfortunately I do not own a bari or cello anymore. ): I really wish I could buy instruments from my old school for cheap. Oh, well.

I am itching to get my hands on some sort of double-reed instrument (I would LOVE to learn the english horn eventually - it is my favorite). Oboes seem to be the cheapest, so I want one. And perhaps a new piccolo, too - marching band slaughtered mine.

ALSO, obscure instruments are the sexiest things ever, so I want to at least try any of the lower flutes (alto and bass probably), bass sax, contrabassoon, etc. etc. Bass clarinet, too, but that doesn't count as being obscure.

MMh i play flute ( like the most children ) and later keyboard. now i want to learn guitar but i have much problems with it T_T

Awesome! You play the flute too? I play the same thing too! :3

Don't worry, the guitar does bring lots of pain, but start off really slow first. Learn the chords, memorize them, and play simple songs. Afterward, you should be able to play it okay. Just keep on practicing it!

currently playing the piano, but im still an amatuer in playing cause, i just learned by myself. so im having a hard time in playing piece that needs 3 or 4 fingers. :cry: but i was able to play some piece. B) .

Thanx...yeah ive learn that it is painful after a few times...but mostly i am a bit depressive cause it doesnt work as i want ;)

That's true. Sometimes when I play my guitar after a long while of not practicing it, the chords just... doesn't play out as nicely as I want. Well, it might be different for you since I play the acoustic guitar. Though I wish I have an electric one... TT;;

I'm seriously not sure whether or not I've posted it here yet (as I think I've posted the same thing in a coupl'a forums already), but would anyone be interested in a collaboration? This is a music forum anyways >_>

Basically we all pick one song or something, each record a recording on whatever instrument, and then compile it. Synchronization's going to horribly fail, but whatever.

Anyone up for it?

Why don't you(or whoever first suggested the idea - I remember someone saying something about it before) start a new thread for that rather than doing it here?

Because if not one person wants to participate it'd be a waste of thread space :P

You could PM people, see who's going to participate, then if you have enough people, start the thread...

I used to play violin, but i haven'y play from 5 years.
I play piano (men, i love it) and bass guitar c:

Everyone is very musically talented. I struggle to keep up with one instrument. I play the Acoustic and electric guitar. I am learning the electric bass and piano as well. Is keyboard and piano the same? I did get corrected before for saying a piano and keyboard were the same thing.

^Well, the keyboard's keys are just plastic and does not have the same weight of an acoustic piano's keys. A piano will require you to develop better techniques than a keyboard for perform.

Well... That's your opinion at least. I wouldn't state it as if it were a fact though... "better techniques" is very subjective language, in my opinion; Open to interpretation. Also, if key resistance is an issue, there are many electronic keyboards that have thoughtful and realistically weighted keys. Especially how resistance decreases as one goes higher pitch (as with an acoustic piano).

As for multi-instumentalism, I don't think there's anything wrong with it, however I think it may be better to focus on getting somewhat good at a single instrument before trying to branch out and learn more instruments, although this is debatable too, as mere exposure to a variety of instruments may possibly help one gain a broader understanding of instrument-playing techniques in general. As a specific example: Perhaps you might discover that techniques performable on one instrument, influence you to derive those techniques for application to another instrument. Furthermore, exposure might help in composition, especially in how the timbre and range of different instruments affects the overall sound palette. (Okay admittedly that last part sounded a little like I was talking out of my ***).

My point is this: There are upsides and downsides to multi-instrumentalism and to derived instruments, especially derived electronic instruments.

If you're good at playing electric guitar, it doesn't necessarily mean you'll be good at acoustic guitar.

Perhaps think of it this way: If you're skilled at piano, you're a good pianist. If you're skilled at keyboard, you're a good keyboardist. Is one better than the other though? I think that should be left to the player. Oh, and they are similar instruments, Gonzarelli, but I believe it would be a mistake to say that they are "the same".

Hopefully that makes sense.

You sir are a man of knowledge.

You sir, aren't
;P

You sir are a man of knowledge.
I appreciate the sentiment, but I was just expressing my opinion. =)

Just so long as you realize that techniques that work well on one instrument may not necessarily work as well when applied to a similar instrument. I think that may have been what nyu was getting at, despite my disagreeing with his exact choice of words.

Also, I hope that in what I said, you'll realize that while the piano and keyboard are not the same, there's no reason to look down upon either instrument. There are skilled players of both.


You sir, aren't
;P
I think humor is better when it doesn't come at another person's expense (at least not to their face like that). Just my opinion. =)


Anyway, maybe we should cut short this little side discussion so as not to get off-topic for too long.

I play:
Piano (5 years)
Cello (Only played for one year, and I can still only play in first position. But I'll improve... I hope xD)

Trying to teach myself the flute, but its really hard. I get dizzy after just a few minutes D:

Some instruments I really want to learn are the Double Bass and the Harp. Unfortunately they don't teach any of them here ;-(

You'll get use to playing the flute later on. Just keep on practicing and you'll stop being dizzy and such.

~I play the piano, guitar... I'm planning to pursue playing the violin...~ ^-^

Hnnn~ I play the western concert flute, which is the one that you guys are familiar with, and as for the Asian instruments, I play the dizi, which is a Chinese flute, and the guzheng, which is a Chinese string instrument. My guess is that no one actually knows the last two instruments =3=

That is a correct assumption for me :D

Youtube link?

No problem ^^

Dizi (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TxsOks4V35w)

Guzheng (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sfc4XBX7N9I&feature=related)

Ha! I know both of them!

oAo thats surprising! But i'm glad! ^^

I am asian after all.

Lols, sorry xD Which race do you come from? :3

Dizi... Guzheng... When I first saw you type it, it rings a bell in my mind, but... I only know Vietnamese instruments, not Chinese. *GAH! I should've asked my dad about it!*

They both sound amazing. The second one reminds me of an acoustic steel guitar or sorts.

i play piano, drums and a bit of guitar...:D

The French Horn is very hard to play I heard. Especially with the specific tone that you have to play. I guess like how low the F# has to sound and such. TT

._. Wonder if you beat Taemond...

Piano. Although it's said to be the easiest instrument to learn I still have trouble with it.

Quite true. Piano can be really simple, but complex at the same time.

I've played guitar for 2 years and piano for ... 5/6
but I also sing if that counts :)

Although it's said to be the easiest instrument

Have you ever tried the wooden block? :V

I play the bassoon. Bassoon is actually my main instrument despite what my username says.

As far as proficiency goes trumpet would probably be second. It's what I played in high school and before. Clarinet would be third, it was my first woodwind. Piano would go somewhere in there, although I really am not proficient at it. Just enough to get through my Class Piano courses.

And actually the saxophone would be the one I'm least proficient on. Long story. I intend on changing that (for marching band). But bassoon will still be my main instrument. Forever.

Bassoon the best!

By the way, I am happy that you put an acute accent on your "ó". :D !

I play the Flute mainly, but I also play a bit of piano and guitar.

Bassoon the best!

Of course, it is. I thought this was common knowledge already. :P


By the way, I am happy that you put an acute accent on your "ó". :D !

It sure has made it a huge pain to sign in on this forum before. lol

I play the Flute mainly, but I also play a bit of piano and guitar.

Woot~ Another flutist here! B)

Well i play electric, classical and acoustic guitar. A bit of piano and organ. I also can play the japanese and normal flute. xD

Gotta add in an electric guitar to my list. :)

Flute (Best at this and devote most practice time to this.)
Piano


I know it isn't a lot of instruments, but I would rather be proficient at one or two instruments than okay at multiple.

Don't you agree?

Well, being a Woodwind Pedagogist I can cover a lot but this is what I have been PAID to play:

Flute - All forms
Clarinet - Ditto
Oboe - Ditto
Cor Anglias
Oboe d' Amour
Bassoon (I don't on a Contra yet... ;_;)
Saxophone (I own Soprano - Baritone; this is my primary)
Violin
Viola
Cello
Recorder (I can play one through my nose and one through my mouth. Purcell would have a heart attack if he knew)
I sing Baritone
Piano
Harmonica
Mallets
Tuba
Euphonium
French Horn (I HATE playing this)
and I conduct!!!! MIGHTY BATTON!!!!

wow, everyone is so talented on here!

i play piano, trumpet, tenor saxophone (though i can play other types, that's just my favorite), bells, xylophone, organ, flute, tuba, minimal guitar (by ear, can't read tabs yet), recorder, pennywhistle/tinwhistle, variations on several of these, and i sing (alto to first soprano). i can also conduct, lol.

btw, i can play two trumpets at once (not well, about a one octave range on each).

my favorite though i easily singing, in the symphonic metal genre (nightwish, within temptaion, etc.).

Piano, just like almost everyone else :D
and violin I suppose, but I quit years ago ...

RECORDER!

You're all pieces of work, huh. Such ranges of instruments. Did forum collaborations ever go through? Impressive, everyone - keep at it!

See, I only play the piano and only hit gr8 or so. Dabble in a few other small things: e-guitar, flute... played the clarinet when I was in the middle/high school band. But I'm not quite able to even touch most of these nowadays. School. Work. Etc. All of which are seemingly in the furthest possible field from music (sciences, bro). And I know I still have a long way to go with improving even my piano skills.

And !@#$% my small hand span. Takes so much extra effort.

I play guitar and piano. I also sing if that counts? ^^;

I'm not sure if I posted here or not, too lazy to check. I taught myself to play the piano, can't read sheet music for the life of me. I mostly listen to RPG music, which helped me get better and better each time I practice them. I'd say I'm pretty decent playing it.

Cello, piano, viola, piano, harp, guitar, drums, bass and singing:D
Haha. Mainly cello and viola.

I play the flute and i love it.

I play violin and piano ^^ im classically trained but i wonder off to naruto themes for something to do!!! im hopefully gonna get an electric violin for my Birthday, which will make my acoustic one jelous... anyway, violin is my best instrument (grade 4, but as i said, i wonder off to stuff in grade 5 and so on) anyway... it's all good ^-^ GO MUSIC!!!

Lol, harp's tricky but I love it. I can play violin but I'm not exactly proficient at it or anything :heh:, can play a few songs and can read simple stuff. Both require very different types of learning and study though.

I'm kind of addicted to music:whistle:

i think we're all on the same stuff then... music straight to the bloodstream :P

I also forgot to add this, but I conduct too.

Anyhow, many of you are talented! Keep up the good work! :)

Woot~ Another flutist here! B)

I second that!

Ok so ..i play..
-Piano
-violin
-acoustic guitar
-electric guitar
-drums

..yeah ..that's all..and i'm 16 ..hahaha...neahh it doesn't matter how old are u...

Hi m I'm new here...////

Im currently playing electric guitar but played all acoustic , classic and electric way////// Well, i've only started last year so like less than one year?!?!?!

Planning to play: (in future)
-Piano
-Bass
-Violin
-Drum
-Flute

Reason: Because Miku Hatsune is out there to sing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Omg, Everyone plays the flute! I always wanted to play it but i was more into the Stringed instruments when i was little so i never go the chance:/

I always wanted to play the violin, but I don't think I'd be good at it, and it'd be pretty weird for people seeing a violin where I live

The violin isn't really that hard to learn, I cello and bass are the harder one!

I play the violin. :) I rarely play the piano.

[_______]

Recently learned a new instrument~iphone 4 ocarina!

Piano
Guitar
Violin
Trumpet
Hmmm... I hope to learn 3 more instruments: Flute, Melodica, and Harmonica

Deciding I might take up the french horn since my districts music program has 4 spare ones that aren't being used. Will teach myself of course, much more fun that way. :)

Apart from that still dabbling around with the piano at times. I do love it but I think it'll be slow traveling before I can get myself up to performance standard.

I played the violin for a numbers of years from the middle of school to about college, but I sort of lost interest in it along with college, and have now been taking lessons for about a year, learning the keyboard (since I don't have room for a proper piano, though an electric piano is a nice thought in a few years), since it's always been a hobby I wanted to pursue

Hi everyone !

I'm new in this forum even if I know the site for a few years now !
I'm a singer for 7 years, I'm doing Master studies in singing in Belgium, I already give some beginner lessons and concerts, I'm semi-professionnal but I still have so many things to learn, it's a never ending path ! But one day, who knows ! ^^
With a pianist friend we used to have a little duet in which we played anime covers, but unfortunately we have to stop since he leaves now near Spain and me in Belgium ! So if there's a pianist near Liège let me know ! ;-)
I've home-recorded some songs, including Princess Mononoke and Lilium, please don't hesitate to give your opinion and critics : http://www.youtube.com/lyricae

Nice to have you here! And that is great, 7 years singing! :D


I will check your youtube's channel whenever I get a chance!


And welcome to the forum.

Piano
Violin
acoustic/electric guitar
flute
drums

I play the:
Flute (this is my main instrument), saxophone (alto and tenor), violin, harp (but not very well), piano (again, not very well xD), ukulele, and the 4-holed ocarina :D

^Sweet~ You play the flute and sax! XD

Yeah :D the sax fingerings are mostly the same as the flute, so I bet that, if you wanted to, you could pick up the sax really easily :D.

Edit: just saw that you already play the sax xD so ignore the bit that I just wrote, and yay flute and sax :D

When I was younger in grade school I played the clarinet. Sadly due to the inability to read I was taken out of band. Now out of college I have missed music and am learning the piano.

i already posted it, but i'll do it again here too. ^-^
in order from best to worst:
-Bass Trombone
-Piano
-Violin
-Bassoon

zeh guitar and piano~ ^-^

I may have posted here earlier, but that would be really long ago and I don't want to look through all these pages, so I just post a new list:

Bassoon
Piano
Guitar
E-Bass
Recorder
Kiowa
Ukulele

....i'm playing the piano and the cello. I just started playing the piano cause most songs can be played only on the piano (poor cello-)

Been playing piano since I was 6. Really love it, it's a passion :)

Picked up flute in 6th grade for a few months. Then I broke it by jamming down a cap in the main head....:( I love wind instruments.

Ukulele is a fun little thing to practice on. I like collecting foreign musical instruments, like Fifes and instruments from the celtic ages :)

^Haha. I know how you feel about wind instruments! Especially with the flute, it's a tiny too delicate. For my first flute, after having one marching band season with it, it was in a "okay" condition since it was rained on, smashed on, heated on, and freezed upon. :P So I now have two different flutes, one for marching and the other for concert (which has the B flat foot).

I really love the flute, even though I'm just considered "beginner" on it while I range advanced+ levels on piano. Most wind instruments are really awesome. Reminds me of medieval ages which I really like, and really nice video game OST's...a lot of beautiful pieces can be composed/covered just on the flute. :)

^That's quite true. That's why I also love the flute... Even though it's both easy and complex at the same time. ^^

I play the violin/guitar, only recently started learning the guitar, but having a blast =D

Having awesome fun playing/recording VGM as per usual hehe
It's good to see so many other ppl out there who play/enjoy VGM stuff

I play the piano, flute, harp and organ, plus some weirdy ones like the waterphone and theremin...
^..............8...diploma, 6........... 6. ABRSM grades, if you know them.

@Von Hohenheim- Oooh diploma flute! I was going to start doing that this year, but then changed my mind. I've been playing some of the pieces on the list though! Which ones are you doing? I've been playing the Chopin Theme and Variations on a theme by Rossini :P, & I did Syrinx for my Grade 8 (on Trinity, rather than ABRSM). I'm now going to look up the waterphone and theremin :P




Edit: I looked them up! I've seen the theremin before (on The Big Bang Theory :P or something similar to the theremin, anyway! The waterphone looks really cool :) do you use a bow to play?)

I play the violin/guitar, only recently started learning the guitar, but having a blast =D

Hey, Chris | Amaterasu, I've seen you on OCR. Didn't even realize you were on this forum until I saw your YouTube channel just now in your sig.

You only started playing guitar recently? Could've fooled me. You sound great. Self-taught on it or taking any kind of lessons?

And the violin sounds great, as always.


P.S. Loved the Dark Theme intro cover, that's a regular tune in my winamp playlist.


Edit: Responding to the following post below, I'll send you a PM, so we can keep this thread on topic. =)

Hey Solaphar,

Had been lurking around here for a while, used to scavange for music sheets haha. I also used to lurk on ocremix too haha, whats your username there?

And also, thanks for your kind comments, gonna keep improving my playing and videos, and hope I can churn out some higher quality covers and remixes in the future =)
I started playing guitar August last year, gametabs.net was my teacher =D

I only play the piano and the ocarina, but I'm planning on learning the harp. XD

I used to play violin but i also now how to play drum and bells too.

Vivaldi: Concerto in F (AAARGH the scales...)
Rutter: Suite Antique (cheesy, but I love it really...)
Faure: Fantasie (Faure's a bit of a hero to me, and it's a fantastic piece. Learn it :P)
Debussy: Syrinx (I needed another piece, and it's really different to the rest of them, but still sounds lovely)
I use a bow. I don't like hitting it, because it's not as pretty, and I get scared that I'll hit it too hard... but I do occasionally. I really love the theremin...

Hahahah I'll have a look at the Faure then!
Syrinx, yay xD I love that piece :)

Ooh I see. Did you have to buy the bow separately? Could you use a regular violin bow? xD

Edit: Just looking up ^^ I saw that Solaphar continued the conversation in a pm to keep on topic, so I think I'll do the same xD

Hey umm I play the Violin mainly,
But I used to play the piano and guitar when I was 4 years old. Lol I still do but not as much as I do with the violin.
Btw I can't sing at all. I get jealous when I hear people sing lol

^LOL. I have the same reaction as you when someone sings. I just can't seem to sing well (probably cause I don't use my voice much anyway?) and whenever I try an attempt to sing, I get to shy and embarrassed anyway.

Wow, too much people playing more than one instrument
I play the violin
Maybe in some years more I'll start to play the piano, I wish
I can sing too. I don't know If I'm the best singer ever but I like to do it, even if a violinist can't sing and play at the same time xD

Piano, flute, and I'm getting lessons in learning the Lute. I've always wanted to play the lute, although, it's extremely hard to find music for it. :/

Nice to hear that there are lots of flute players here on Ichigo's. :)

Have I already posted here??? Anyways, I used to play the guitar, but then I found the piano. I can't read sheet music, so I try to play by ear. I've made 4 songs on my piano (bit difficult because I can only record 5 songs, each with 5 parts you can record). I mainly started playing piano because I love classical music, and the one epic song, To Zanarkand

Oh, lots of multi-instrumentalists. I only play the concert harp these days (Started with a Celtic harp). I tried piano when I was younger, but it did not end well.

As for voice...Does singing my favorite anime OPs in the shower count?

Wow i was really surprised that many people can handle with so much instruments
my main instrument is violin^^
my second instrument is flute and my third piano, but i can´t play it well cause i´ve started a week ago xP
i hope i can try all the instruments xO

my voice?....okay i like to sing but i dont know it sounds good or bad xD

^I also like to sing, but I know my voice is terrible for a female... x_x

^I also like to sing, but I know my voice is terrible for a female... x_x

You can't have a worse voice than me lol. And on that note, I've decided to take up singing. :)

Good for you, Taemond! :)

I play piano, I'm going to learn Violin and Guitar next.... I can also sing, but dunno how good I am at it, at least my sisters haven complained at me singing along with the playlists and radio :heh:

Violin and Alto Sax :heh:

I play the celtic harp! I've just started on the concert harp :)
...
and no, no it doesn't :P

...

Yay! Finally another harper/harpist. I wish I had the money to buy my own orchestral harp lol.

Let's see... I play Alto Sax, Bari Sax, and I'm currently learning Piano. (And doing amazing! I'm so far ahead of the class!! >:D)

Hi I play the Oboe and Clarient but i love Oboe way more then clarient. I'm going to start learning the english horn too.
