[Jay_Oh]

I played clarinet for 2 years and timpanis in the school concert band for 6 years but now that ive left college I just play the piano and I've been playing that for 13 years.

i play piano but my first instrument was a flute. then i quit because it made me light headed and so i switched to clarinet, and clarinet soudns like a dying duck so i gave up on woodwinds and went over to the piano, and then eventually i bought a guitar but i just know how to play a few chords and some riffs from popular songs.........


 when i was little my dad would bring me instruments from all the countries he'd travel to while on buisness trips so i have a little japanese drum, a weird costa rican thing that you blow into that was hand painted, and one that looks like a bird.... umm, a native american carved wooden flute... pan pipes from south america, although my favorite gift wasn't a musical instrument, it was a stuffed koala from australia that i've had since i was 5.


i want to learn cello next!!!!

[Ryou-Neko]

I love timpani too, they're sexii. Especially in 1812 Overture.

That's a good one. But I think any song by John William has some pretty sweet timpani action... Theme from the Olympics, Star Wars, etc. He loves that instrument... as well as the french horn.

i just play the piano

[Ryou-Neko]

Then you are aptly named

[zurielshimon]

I have a trombone that I never did learn how to play, and I euphonium I never play anymore.  I'm trying to sell both of those right now, actually.

[Ryou-Neko]

What's a euphonium?

[JazzyManda]

What's a euphonium?

It's a smaller form of a baritone

Definitions tend to vary with both of these names sometimes, but the only I have is essentially a small tuba that plays an octave higher than a standard concert tuba, so it plays about the same range as a trombone.  In fact, due to a shortage of trombone players when I was in high school, and because I played the best audition for it, I played the first trombone on it in my high school's jazz band my senior year.  (Fortunately, there weren't any pieces that called for a lot of slide work in our repertoire.)  Oh, and that reminds me, this one includes the lead pipe piece to convert it to a forward-facing, shoulder-resting horn, which is what I used.

[Ryou-Neko]

Thank you for that, then. Does anybody play the harp? I love it, but it seems hard to learn.

wow... it must be easy to read music if you can only play an octave on that instrument...

Oh, ha ha ha. :razz: I meant that it has the same range as a (three-valve) tuba, except up an octave.  So, where a tuba can play from E an octave below the (bass) staff upward, my euphonium can play from E at the bottom of the (bass) staff upward.  (Though, technically I can also play pedal tones from the lower E up to B-flat below the staff. :wink: ) but I'm sure you knew that, right? :roll:
