I learned to play the piano and violin as a child and though I have both instruments now I haven't really touched them in years - the piano needs tuning which doesn't help and finding a pieano tuner who will come out to where we live is a challenge. My husband on the other hand 'collects' instruments and can play every one that he owns - Native American drum, bodhran, bongos, djembe, dumbek, classical guitar, bass guitar, electric guitar, violin, viola, mandolin, digeridoo, (he experimented with some drainpipe before he bought a real one!) and the list goes on. We have instruments all over the house, even adorning the walls. One of his hobbies is buying old violins and refurbishing them.

Becx, I play the bassoon too. Also descant and tenor recorders. Janice

Claire does it not hurt your ears playing the notes on the piano, think you would be best using your fingers? Dx

Got to grade 3 on the violin at school. I too would love to play the piano. I can a bit by ear, and I can read music so I ought to give it a go! Claire xx

actually I'll amend what I said slightly. I'd like to learn to the play the Bass guitar

Piano is my main instrument, but I can also play guitar, brass (valve and trombone) and church organ. Mandy :)

At Primary School we all had to learn the recorder. I then went on to learn the flute (only got to grade 3) and the bassoon. becx

I learned how to play the guitar at school and also the recorder.Cant remember how to play guitar now though lol.I taught myself to play keyboard(electric not pc lol) I would love to learn how to play either the Saxaphone or Clarinet,but cant afford it at the moment Anna :-))

It is harmonica really Paul pmsl Dave

I'm in the same position as you Daniel. Would like to play the piano or the guitar... I will restrain myself from further comment about Dave and his organ.

I can play a few tunes on the Harmonica/Mouth Organ. Dave

If I had to pick one to learn it would be the piano. Sadly, can do nothing at the moment. :-(
