    Title says it all.

    Personally, I can play play all keyboard instruments except organ, which I've never had the opportunity to play. I can also play basic violin and intermediate cello.

    I can't play anything.

    Maybe Piano, if I had access to one and tried.

    Saxophone and drum kit, both for around 5 years, and I still suck at them.

    I like it!

    I can't play anything, wish I could play acoustic guitar or piano but oh well. I make electronic music but I'd rather be doing folky acoustic stuff.

    It's a bit harder for me because I was born slightly paralysed on the left side of my body. It doesn't really affect much other than my ability to play instruments and I'm not really sure I can get past it. I've been thinking of starting cello or violin though, so I don't need to do fiddly finger picking stuff with my hand. And cello is of course one of the coolest instruments.

    Slightly? You don't have to be a virtuoso to make great music.

    It really affects my ability to hit the right strings and get the timing right, I can't move my fingers on my left hand very easily. I don't want to sound like I'm moaning or anything, it's just this and playing FPS games on keyboard I can't do properly

    I want to learn to play guitars, piano, and instruments of the violin family. I have an electric guitar, an acoustic, and a keyboard. But I suck. Luckily digital studios exist, so I can rely heavily on computers for music. I do use actual recordings with the digital sound, but they are usually short and simple because I screw up constantly.

    I played Trumpet and Baritone in high school.


    The Baritone wasn't really by choice though. We had a trip coming up and both the baritones couldn't go. The day I brought in my brand new trumpet, my teacher pulled me aside and said "I need you to learn baritone in two weeks".

    It's also the same fingerings, of course, just a vastly different mouthpiece size. Within 2 days I was playing better than the actual baritone players

    (The reason he chose me was because for once he actually listened to me and remembered that I once said I wanted to learn baritone)

    I used to play clarinet, but that was when I had almost no choice in instruments at school. It's not useful for the kinds of music I like, so I never kept with it. I was okay for my age, but it's hard to improve when you aren't motivated.

    Piano, alto sax, and bagpipes. There are some other instruments that I could probably play, but these are what I have focused on in the past and can play consistently well.

    I can play the piano, but not at a level I would like.

    I play the bass, it's insanely easy to join bands this way! I can kinda sing (vocal chords are an instrument too), but my voice can become creaky very easily.

    Before singing, if you don't know this, avoid milk. It creates flem in your throat.
