Musical Instruments - what do you play?

[Mehen]

Post what you play, have played, and your gear, or what gear you've had.

For me its all guitar/bass.

Electric Guitars:
Ibanez RG370 w/ Seymour Duncan Pickups
Ibanez RG321 (I think)
Some old and poorly made Stratocaster knockoff.
Bass:
Ibanez SR600, 4-string, made in mid 90's I think.
Amp
Mesa Boogie Rect-o-verb 50W all-tube head
Mesa Boogie Rectifier Standard 4x12 (w/ V30's)

Dunlop Crybaby Wah Pedal, Zoom 505II (which I don't use for anything but tuning anymore).

I also learned to play the recorder up my nose back in elementary school. It worked quite well because you never blow too hard that way.


edit: next big purchase will be a Gibson, still debating between an SG and a Les Paul.

I used to play drums in former times, but haven't for ages.

My first kit was a white Tama SwingStar; had to sold it and purchased an electronic Simmons SDS 1000 later. Sold that 3 months ago as i haven't played on it for more than 7 years ...

[Fat Tone]

AS a kid, xylophone, recorder

later Trombone (Yamaha) but it rarely sees the light of day

now Trumpet (occassional to help my son on his Cornet)

Squire (Fender) acoustic guitar - still learning (ok, I always will be!), really struggling with accurate finger placing for chords. I often deaden the lower string, or at least make it rattle. I really love the sound when picking though.

My son - Cornet. Entering his first competition soon. With a little luck the band will be giving him a brand new B&H soon!

I used to play on my organ, too. (Just in case you get the wrong idea, I used to have a Farfisa 2x61 keyboard + pedalboard!)

What's better than a rose on a piano?
Tulips on my organ

Played the acoustic guitar way back.

After a few unsuccessful tries all through my younger years, I still want to learn to play the piano.

[ZokesPro]

As a kid, in grade 3 and 4 the ukulele, then the recorder in grades 5 and 6 and the trombone in garde 7. Now, nothing!

[Jammrock]

I have only played classical instruments. Clarinet, bassoon, saxaphone (though only for marching, and only for one year). Bassoon was my favorite. It has a very unique sound.

[ND66]

Played Drums in the younger years (9 years old), first gig played at the age of 14. Switched to Keyboard at the age of 15 & played in a band until the age of 20.

After that, for my simple pleasure only, playing acoustic guitar and a piano at home.
Played Electric & Bass guitar for a little while too.

I played too many instruments in my younger years, if I kept playing one or two, maybe I could’ve been something today…. .

Tried learning playing an electric guitar, but had to stop because of rheumatic artritis in my fingers.
Now it is just lying there, and I don't have the heart to sell it.

[agallag]

Played the trumpet in highschool. Haven't had it out in years.

[Jessterw]

Used to play the piano and saxophone, but haven't touched either in years.

[cjolley]

In chronological order

Piano (starting at the age of 6, took lessons for 11 years, can't really play at all now )
Trombone (almost forgot)
Flamenco guitar
Hagstrom electric guitar (just like this) + Fender Bandmaster amp and speaker box I made myself (5x10" drivers)
Various acoustic guitars (at one time I had 5)
Down to just an Alvarez AD60k which I really like.

Unfortunately, I am becoming WAY out of practice.
