I can't play a bloody thing! Tone deaf! The missus plays everything... Guitar, Bass, Flute, Piccolo, Keyboard, and Drums.
A few piccies of their drumkit. Two kits combined in one.

Deadman · 22-05-2006, 10:36 PM

Guitar. Got a 12 string, 6 string and a cheap and nasty electric... Ignore the Lobster and other cheesy stuff in the photo - this is the 'random stuff' room :P

BTW - Pic is very small size so shouldn't cause issues even for those on dial up, it's only about 40k

Made sure of that before posting

11 years of classical violin. Can also play viola by default.

I have an electric guitar (which no one seems to be able to identify), and wish I could play it, but the 6 strings/4 fingers equation has never really worked for me. :(

Have also had a few attempts (mostly while bored backstage at orchestra performances) at flute, cello and a tiny bit of piano.

2 of my violins

The violin on the right is very special to me, as it was my grandfather's, but the whole story to it is in the "Show us your guitars or musical equipment" thread.

I have my grandfathers violin also and it has the same back on it as the one in youre pic (the one on the right).The one I have is a Francois Barzoni it is around 100 years old.And money could not buy this violin it means too much to me (even though I cant play it).

kc_ksom · 23-05-2006, 11:51 AM

I play guitar, been playing for about 20yrs, wanting to purchase a new guitar from warmoth next month with luck, should cost around 2.5k, so I hope it is what they say it is, for the same guitar in a gibson (les paul) I would be looking at around 7.5k, so the saving is huge...
Man who pays over 5k for a guitar, that is just over the top...

Hey Casey , When I bought my Gibson LP in 1975 it was $ 569.00 (lots of $$$ back then ) Mum thought I had "rocks in my head" , but I've always looked after it and it plays just as good today as the day I got it (31 yrs hard work). I don't think they're still available , but my "Profile LP" is 99% as good , $ 1095.00 in 1989 . Copies these days are VERY good.

kc_ksom · 23-05-2006, 12:13 PM

Ohh by the way feathers

My sister has a Violin that was made in 1722, and I think maybe I should not say any more on an open forum, hmmm

HLC · 20-05-2007, 09:59 PM

JPFS1 · 23-05-2006, 12:31 PM

Also, I find swapping from trumpet to cornet to flugelhorn to french horn increadibly unco!

Last time I picked up the old trumpet was when I first heard the Cat Empire

4.9 EF Futura · 23-05-2006, 01:01 PM

I dont mind a strum of the semi acoustic... and played bass in a punk band... once.

I wouldnt say i "can play"... for on the 7th day, the lord created tablature. And he said that it was easy. And so it was.

Having said this, i do have basic understanding of music and the instrument itself. Good fun tho - a bit more challenging than working the TV remote.

BlueRaven · 23-05-2006, 01:37 PM

The problem with the poll is that I want to choose "Talentless Guitar". I play guitar but I am hopeless!

On this note... does air guitar count?
