I currently play bass guitar and upright bass for my jazz band, but I've played guitar and piano for four and three years, respectively.

I played snare drum and xylophone in middle school, but haven't touched anything other than some light piano (hint: i'm very bad at it) since then.

I play one instrument: The flute.

i hate it (kind of. it's hard to explain Fhyll and I's relationship). I wish I played the bari saxophone or just any low-brass instrument. I can also jam on the recorder.

recorder (if that counts), flute, clarinet, ukulele, acoustic guitar, some piano, karimba……pretty sure that's it lol. i really want to learn electric guitar, bass guitar, and drums, though.

Fun fact: Both the bari sax and the alto sax have the exact same fingering, one is just the size of a middle-schooler!

I play baritone horn and I dabble in piano

Flute, piccolo (I suck), clarinet (I suck worse)

i’ve been playing piano for the past 12 years

Viola and Recorder (we were forced to play it in 3rd, 4th, and I think 5th grade for me? Maybe? I could be wrong…)

I'm pretty sure we were all forced to play the recorder at some point in our developing years. Supposedly, it would teach us "breath control," but I had a horrible stammer and couldn't control my breath, anyway.

Flute and trumpet

slides in I played flute for like 6 years, then violin for a year or two, then trumpet, a lil bit of drums, and now I'm on guitar and considering uke

Does a computer count as a instrument? Cause you can still make music with it.

cello, piano, and uke(are we counting singing??) are the things I play.

Oh yeah. Singing too, if that does count (I'm in Choir).

I play keyboard, guitar, bass guitar, ukulele, clarinet, and probably something else I'm forgetting.

Jeez… I've always wanted to learn the Ocarina. What would you recommend for a beginner on a budget?

I recommend one you can find on amazon. Cheap but good. Alto C is a good key to learn in for me personally. I suggest you look up some videos so you can see which key you like.

Okay, I'll look into it this weekend. Thank you!

yeets in
I play the ukulele and I'm absolutely in love with it
I played violin for a time, and it was fun, but I didn't really love it. And I can't afford a new violin (mine is trash bc it was old and cheap) and I can't afford to rent one either, so I don't really play anymore, unfortunately.
I'm learning guitar currently, and my interest in it is growing the more I learn, which is kinda weird for me. Usually, I lost interest as I learn, but with guitar (and ukulele) I just keep liking it the more I play.
I know a little bit of piano, and I'm trying to learn, but I don't have much time with the instruments I already play.
I also sing, but I'm not really good at it unless I'm alone. If I'm singing in front of people, my voice gets all shaky bc I get super anxious lmao.

yo you like violin? I might have my old one you could borrow for a little while bc we accidentally rent to bought it
