    Oboe, I can barely afford to play it with the cost of reeds and stuff. And Oboe players, you know how sensitive they are and expensive.

    I used to sing when I was younger, but I wasn't good enough.

    Recently I got a six-hole ocarina (Yes, it is modeled after the Ocarina of Time) and I've been messing around with that. It's great for playing simple little tunes, especially ones from video games. :slight_smile:

    I play oboe too! My fellow band members also tend to be very careless. I have to be extremely careful with the reeds during concert band.

    For marching band, I play(ed) flute (which I own) and alto saxophone. I'm going to learn the guitar and the valve trombone (because my sister's boyfriend has a guitar and I have my great grandfather's valve trombone.

    I would be dead without music. :slight_smile:

    Effing Reeds. I played oboe and English horn, but I had to give them up when I went to college because of the expense and time of making reeds. (Still have it all though for some day when I have time. Sigh.)

    I currently bide my time playing the recorder and the Krumhorn in an early music ensemble and I sing counter tenor and baritone sometimes. Apparently, lapsed oboists are pretty common in early music. I am also trying to pick up renaissance flute as the fingerings are quite similar to oboe/recorder/other C woodwinds. And one beautiful day I will have enough time to learn how to play the piano with both hands simultaneously. Currently my piano repertoire is rather limited.

    As part of my rekindled interest in the Piano, I'm learning to play "pop" songs.

    I learned guitar without a proper course (from bro or trying a bit) so my guitar play seems to be strange, and I only use it to accompany me singing (I love singing).

    I took piano lesson for a year (when I was around 25 y.o) and didn't progress that much.

    I played a bit harmonica....

    So in summarry, not much of a thing. I would like to learn proper guitar + piano again, and I think saxophone will be great too.

    Played guitar back in high-school some. Guitarist in a friend of mines band broke his arm and couldn't play in their concert. I basically learned how to play and all their songs in under a week. Haven't had much urge to play since though. I have played piano my whole life. Took lessons when I was little, and I still play on occasion.

    I sing, although I'm no good and I hate my low voice

    I teach myself guitar

    Played a year of piano

    And I drum out patterns on every hard surface I find, I can't keep still when music is in my head

    My oboe reeds starting leaking so I bought some new ones. They didn't work, I got extremely mad :tantrum:, calmed down, took the oboe reed and snapped it, and did a evil laugh... I'm a little crazy right now. I HATE OBOES SO MUCH!!!! I WANT TO PLAY THE FRENCH HORN!!!

    My instrument is my voice, I enjoy singing in Japanese (now that takes a lot of work) I also sing in English on occasion too.
