I know we're a bunch of interesting, intelligent people here at batoto. So, I'm sure everybody here would love to see the musical side of you!

Do the poll and make a post! Discuss anything related to music!

I'll start first:

Currently now, I play the piano and bassoon. Both at grade 8 standard. I won an award at my latest woodwind comps a few months back. I used to play percussion, clarinet, cello, recorder...uhh...did I miss anything? Never mind. I also play in orchestras and concert bands.

In the future, I want to learn to play the bass guitar. I love the instrument! Pity that in most songs, you can barely hear it unless it has a solo. :( Nonetheless, it's a very important instrument!

...And I admire people who play triangle. It takes immense skill to play the instrument, don't you think? ;)

Cocky bastard. Don't lie. Even if you played the triangle, it's not as awesome as using my bassoon as a battering ram.

I used to play the guitar, keyboard/piano, and the banduria before, but I've stopped a long time ago. I know it took me two weeks to learn a piano piece and longer to play it with minimal mistakes.

There is no real quiet place where I live so it is not easy to enjoy playing any instrument.

Hey, in middle school it was either the triangle or the drums.
So I took the triangle.
Rocking it hard since 06.

My primary instrument is the Tuba, I can play the trumpet and the Euphorium(Baritone) as well. I have fiddled with the trombone and the French Horn, but not enough to say that I could play them.

Depends. Some people do.
For me, singing counts!

Self teaching myself bass that i got for 350 USD as a pack. The bass itself is quite bad but its good to start with something that makes me work harder and when I play those really expensive fender basses I get chills down my spine - they are so easy and smooth to play with <3
Used to play piano but went from classic to anime songs :P

AHAHA!!
I would love to run away with the thing in my hand and a troll face but nooooo.....
I'm still too amateur for a good fender bass

Though fingering the G-string was an enjoyable thing-!!!

^ I always make up random dirty jokes with my bass... I'm sure she's fed up of being sexually harassed

Guitar shops are evil places that can make your happiest days depressing, unless you're rich of course!
Rocking it hard with your bass I see.... XDD
