What do you play?
Why did you choose that instrument? Why do you like it?

I play the Ukulele, because I think its a quirky instrument, but it can really suprise you by how cheerful or meloncoly it can sound.
check out this video if you dont beleive me:

julia nunes karma!
I want a ukelele. I'm going to steal your ukelele.

I can play the piano, and I played drums for a few years, and guitar and flute (NO AMERICAN PIE JOKES! XD).
 
I play the saxophone (alto, tenor, and bari), guitar, and bass as well as some drums, clarinet, trumpet, flute, and piano. As you can see, I LOVE playing instruments...for some reason, it comes really easily to me. If I had an infinite supply of money, one of the first things I would do would involve buying every instrument I could possibly find and learning how to play them all at least a little bit (I am SUCH a weirdo, oh my god! :looking🙂

I consider my main instrument the saxophone not because it's my favorite, but because I've been playing it for nearly eleven years. I started it because it sounded like it'd be really cool when I was eight, and I was pretty good at it, so it just sort of stuck. I play a good bit of guitar and bass, too, though...I've been playing them for a few years each (although I've played the bass a good bit more), and find that they're much more fun to play than the sax because they're much more versatile whereas the saxophone is much more limited. And saxophones are way more expensive. And I wake up the whole house when I play it. And...okay, you get the point.

I wanted to play the Sax when I was a kid sooo bad. But my mom talked me into the flute instead. I still kinda wish I'd learned. Power to you and the many instruments. Which one would you like to learn next?

I play guitar, on and off for the last 6 years or so. I'll think about making a video 😛
 
I've played guitar for about 10 years. Fender for the win! I used to dabble in Bass and I've got a Squire but I haven't touched it in about a year. I'm learning Piano and I try on occasion to play violin decently. Epic Fail.

On Piano I'm in the middle of learning "Remembering Jenny" which is the Jenny/Giles love theme. 🙂
 
I've played the piano since I was 10 years old (I'm 28 now) and I've played the guitar since I was 14. I love music and I always wanted to learn a third instrument, but I never got around to it.
 
I play guitar, drums, bass, ukulele, and piano. Guitar's my main instrument... I think I've been playing for like 7 years. I wanted to play the ukulele cause I thought it would be cool to play something that's different.. something unique. And I went to Hawaii so the timing was nice. Next I want to learn cello. Too bad instruments are so expensive 🙁
 
I play guitar, been playing for about 5 years now, feels like only yesterday......

I can play drums ok as well but dont have my own kit so i cant really practice. I'd love to play the saxophone and violin and hope to learn them one day.

Quick random question, carzy flakes have you ever heard of a sax player by the name of John Zorn?
 
You made my NIGHT by posting that Julia vid. I love her!

I do NOT play an instrument, although Julia has made me want to pick up the uke, guitar, and melodica. But then I remembered I'm wicked lazy so I have to make myself forget about wanting to play things.

Edit

ALSO, I advise you all to watch Julia's other videos. She's great!

Oh, Ive seen them all. I'm a huge fan. My absolute fav is the one I posted, but I also really like Your My Best Friend (originally by Queen), Gone Fishing (Og by Weezer), Mr Brightside (the Killers) and Accidentally in Love (spin doctors). Although theyre all fantastic.

I also enjoy this lady:

That girl is majorly hot.
I used to play Piano and Violin, but I gave up because my teachers were utter bitches, and I wanted to learn Jazz Piano and the piano teacher wouldn't even like, let me have a play around for a couple of weeks. & my violin teacher used to yell & scream at me when I was about 12, so I quit that too.
 
I play guitar and I love it! I started like... 4 years ago, trying to play some songs I love...
I would like to learn the piano and drums... Maybe I'll get to it one day when I have a big house with a large livingroom... 😀

Should we all meet one day and play together? The big BB gig! 😀

Then I would play via MSN or Skype, which might not be that bad provided we have a webcam X-D
I don't play an instrument, but i was going to get together with another board member and start the greatest, most badass rap group the world has ever seen called "Corrupt Violence". We had a promo ad worked out and everything.
