I play piano, flute, and piccolo.

I took piano lessons from 1st grade till I graduated, but haven't been able to practice much the last two years since college keeps me so darn busy.

I've played flute for almost 10 years and pic for almost 5.

I played recorder and accoustic guitar very short term back in grade school. I also tried to learn the oboe in high school, but my instructer hated the instrument, and I got my wisdom teeth pulled in the middle of trying to learn, and wasn't able to continue playing.

Well I don't own one...But I can play them. It's pretty fun actually. And it doesn't take much skill either!

Well, my instruments of proficiency are the tuba and guitar. I started playing the tuba in fifth grade and played all the way up through highschool and for a couple of semesters in college. I have been playing the guitar off and on since 7th grade, but I have gotten into it hardcore the past couple of years. I am getting pretty good at it too.
I took piano lessons for one summer, but I didn't get to far. I self taught myself quite a bit of piano, but I'm not to good. I also used to play ukelale, but it broke, and I haven't gotten another one. I also played a trombone for a couple of years in highschool for some songs. I also will play the bass guitar for some of our praise and worship services where I work.
Looking for that blessed hope and the glorious appearing of that great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ.

Well I basically learned a few simple chords first, and a couple of little lead riffs, then went around on line and got guitar tabs for whatever song I wanted to play.

Suffice to say, I can play a LOT of Bush songs.

A bit of Dust in the Wind. Once you get the hang of it, nothing's THAT hard. I'm still trying to learn Flamenco stuff, though.

I've played the congas for 4 years now, and I dabble in the guitar, making noises that I hope people will mistake for music.

Heh...Sounds like you play guitar like how I play a good ninety nine percent of instruments I touch.

Started learning the violin in late December or early January. I'm really not very good yet, but I enjoy it immensely.

Play piano, dabbled in violin, and am learning drums.

My forte (no pun intended) is slowly shifting from piano to voice, though.

haha. My favorite way to respond to people who ask if I can sing is "That depends entirely on your opinion."

I play and electric guitar (epiphone les paul) . But I wish to learn different computerized affects. My guitar effects machine can basicly turn my guitar into a violin, needs some adjustment when playing, but isn't too different sounding than a violin, or too different from playing a guitar.

I can play guitar, weeeellllll like 6 notes XD My worship leader was teaching me. Then he canned my lessons. Guess I just sucked to much XD
You find that you have a weapon, an instrument that
will give you power over the wind and sea.
In one word, you can stop time. It is a weapon
so powerful that even God will bow
down to you and all his angels fall at your feet.
What would you do with it?
