What musical instruments can you play?

[retromike22]

For me, sadly none. I always regret not learning how to play the piano... which sucks because I actually have a piano. I should get started on that.

[HagridOfTheDeep]

Just the bagpipes. Used to be able to play the trumpet, but I wasn't very good.

[Cranberry]

I play the saxophone, and have played for six years now. I have and still take lessons, though I plan to stop after next year, and then just play in groups.
I'm playing in a big saxophone orchestra (the baritone sax there), and I'm about to play in a small jazz band (alto saxophone there).

[FEMA Camp Administrator]

Back in the day, I played piano and saxophone. I regret  not having read music for either of those in over a year, but hey, I've been busy. Hopefully one day I can get back into it.

[Franzl]

None

[ElectionsGuy]

None,

Even if I did want to learn how to play an instrument, it would be private stuff, not concerts or anything like that.

[Oakvale]

Guitar is my first instrument but I've mainly been playing 'keyboards'/synth and samplers these days. What I've been enjoying lately is to sample the tail end of a guitar chord running through some random effects pedals and then chop that up, reverse it and stick it into a drum machine or something for mangled weirdness. I still play guitar a lot though - I picked up a cheap Jazzmaster recently which is something I've been wanting to do for ages. Jazzmaster, a delay pedal and some fuzz? Insufferable shoegaze noise, please.

Along with some half-assed attempts at tackling FM synthesis on a level higher than "change the operator ratio until it sounds half-decent", I've also been messing around with Pure Data, which is like a freeware version of Max/MSP (music programming language). I have some basic programming knowledge but it's a little, uh, daunting -



I might be better off copping out and ~legally purchasing~ a copy of Reaktor.

[MaxQue]

As every one in my school then, flute and clarinet.

[Oldiesfreak1854]

I played trombone for one year in middle school band, but that was it.  I also play piano a little (although I can't do chords yet.)

[homelycooking]

Trombone, euphonium, tuba. I own a beautiful 1967 Besson euphonium on which I would practice every day if I could. I very nearly decided to go to a conservatory for a music performance degree instead of one in political science, and often regret that I didn't.

[Joe Biden 2020]

I played the tuba in junior high and high school band and my one year of college band.  I played the organ at church when I was in my sophomore and junior years of high school.  I wasn't very good at the organ, but I could play the bass for the most part.

[TDAS04]

Just piano. 

[The world will shine with light in our nightmare]

None.

Three years ago my dad gave me his old guitar to practice with, but there was no formal instruction available in high school and I had nothing to learn with but a beginner's manual and some audio CDs.  I failed miserably at it.  I'm musically challenged.

[JerryArkansas]

Trombone pretty well, I am trying to learn Violin, Cello and String Base also.

[Miles]

Double bass.
