My only formal music training is drums. I took drum lessons for about 2 years in my early teens. Also took accordion lessons when I was very little, but that was just because my grandfather made my mother force me to take lessons.. I hated it

Classical voice/opera (baritone) and piano, although grad school was composition.

I used to play bass, banjo, mandolin and harmonica.
Ztar spoils me for or from all. though I occassionally think about picking up a uke.
I had this spell where I was obessed with stick player, and organ video's Then I happened across an accordian video and I was in awe of the possiblity of playing bass and chord with one hand while the other plays melody. Previously I'd already done a lot of experimentation with one hand playing one instrument/part and the other hand playing a second part. Which has been both fun and challenging.
I think I'm bitting off more then I can chew with trying to apply accordian methodology to the ztar. It can work and I've had some limited success but I think I'm just not looking for the right material. As well I always draw more attention to a part rather then the whole by practing them separately beforehand.

I play my wife's ass like a bongo drum. Does that count?
My primary axe is my synthesizer. If anyone says "that counts as a keyboard" I'll be deeply offended.

I've also been known to play anything that I can get a sound out of. I don't think I could claim to play anything "well" but I try.

I've been playing the drums since 1993 and I'm within an inch of getting my first electronic kit to finally take my drumming to the sequencer world.
I also took recorder lessons when I was a child but that's more a German educational staple I think.

Well, that's the end goal for many musicians anyway, so why not?justin3am wrote:I play my wife's ass like a bongo drum. Does that count?

It used to be a standard thing in the UK, but it doesn't seem to be very popular these days. I think I have a descant and tenor somewhere in the house. Might dig them out if I ever get around to buying a decent microphone.

Lap steel (just learning), mandolin, harmonica (got a new E natural minor I have yet to explore), ukulele (which I've been playing all afternoon- figuring out AC/DC's "Back In Black" and Backstreet Boys' "I Want It That Way"- two totally different totally crap totally great songs).
I play bass and keys but guitar is, was, my main instrument. I spend most of my time playing, but I'm not very good at any instrument.
Maybe I should take up chopsticks, too. Start a band with normal. It would be cool to have a normal bandmate for a change.

looking at building a Kantele this spring, I just need it warm enough so I can do the finishing on my balcony..also a Psaltery...both I found kits for but there is no need for a kit for either...however there is a kit for a Bowed Psaltery I'm looking at because it would be cool to build a bow toorobojam wrote:Tons of keyboard players and guitarists/bassists here for sure, but just wondered what else anyone plays?
Any really weird instruments?
Hi Cordelia I am also looking at a kit for a baritone uke...maybe next year
edit: btw, my grandson plays my dulcimer all the time...sort of
edit 2: btw Cordelia, chopsticks are used for tube amp repair silly
The highest form of knowledge is empathy, for it requires us to suspend our egos and live in another's world. It requires profound, purpose‐larger‐than‐the‐self kind of understanding.
