Posted: Thu Jan 08, 2004 2:32 am Post subject: What instrument do YOU play? |
|
|
Alright. Since I play ten different instruments I thought here would be a good place to ask if anyone else plays anything. Here's my list
Guitar
Alto Saxophone
Trombone
Native American Flute (made it myself even ^_^)
Piano
Soprano Recorder
Alto Recorder
Tenor Recorder
Bass Recorder
Flute (still learning)
That's all that I play so far, though I'm looking into violin, trumpet, and the other three saxophones.
Anyway, hope to hear some answers to this. _________________ Love is like oxygen, you get too much you get high, not enough and you're gonna die. That's why I carry an oxygen tank ^_^. |

Just the piano here, and that not for some time.
EDIT: Let me clarify that. I took piano lessons from 4th grade through hgih school graduation and was pretty good (in a piano student recording competition my senior year, I entered the particular event that had Mozart's Viennese Sonantina and one of Bach's 2-Part Inventions - I came in 2nd nationally). Unfortunately, in the 34 years since then, opportunites to practice and play have become fewer and fewer. _________________ "But the wildest of all the wild animals was the Cateagle.

I play keyboards and drums. Since this is a music section, how about a link to the latest song I've been working on? It's not finished yet but feel free to comment if it strikes you.
Ambient by Xaqtly (2.1 MB) I highly recommend a good set of speakers with a subwoofer, or a good pair of headphones. _________________ Changed my name to Kantaro. |

I could play flute once but I haven't touched one in about 10 years so I doubt I'd even know which end to put to my mouth.
I recently build myself a digerido but unfortunately I cannot play it due to a scar on my lower lip. It prevents me from making the lip movements I need to play the digerido _________________ Tygon Panthera - name and species

well I took piano lessons almost 10 years ago if I remember. Teacher said that I was good and had talent, only thing was that I lacked the will power at the time.
Anyways, i'm becoming interested again in it because Apple has just released "GarageBand" a music making program which from the 16th of January will be on all new Macs (please, pretty please mom! Get me a PowerMac G5!!)...
well with some accesories I can use the Mac as a software amp for an electric guitar. So as of now i'm VERY undecided if I should start Piano again (i do remember the basics and stuff) or should I learn Guitar? _________________ Big... Shinee.. Red.. Button!!!

Nice synth tune Xaqtly, kinda reminds me of my Yamaha1000XG before it went up in smoke
Well I create short chip tunes using Octamed, Fast Tracker and Impulse Tracker. I've created some crazy tunes on Scream Tracker.
I'm fairly rusty on an electric guitar, but jam on a keyboard

I played tenor sax in high school. Haven't touched it in years though. Wonder where that thing went... '-) _________________ Doctor Kayngi

Yeah, Zak! Sounds great.
Oh, and what I forgot to say... Akkai... that list of instruments you can play... that's almost scary
I would love to learn playing piano... but I can neither afford getting one nor getting someone to teach me _________________ Tygon Panthera - name and species

I played the steel drums once when I was a freshman but since the whole band exept two where expelled for indecent exposure and one for knocking a guy out it kinda fell apart and I did not rejoin the next year. _________________ my boring life

Nice tune Xaqtly! Sort of synth-jazz. Techno with a melody. I like it.
I've fiddled with keyboards but have never found one with keys that fit my large fingers - always hitting double keys.
Which brings up an interesting question. Since instruments are *very* ergonomic (designed for the hands that play them) What would - say- a guitar look like that was designed for a fur? How would they keep the fur on their arms from getting caught in the vibrating strings? How would claws affect the picking and fingering styles?
Oh, I also play the left-handed sneeze pipes. But since the one set that was ever made is now completely clogged... oh well.

That is a nice piece, Xaqtly! Smooth and mellow...
Cirrel, a very interesting topic for discussion! I suppose an artist could shave their forearms...or train themselves to hold their hands slightly different so that their fur wouldn't get in the way. With claws as picks, I don't think that would work for long, or at least they would need tougher strings. Their claws would cause wear and tear on the strings and wear them out more quickly. _________________ Doctor Kayngi
