I play clarinet. Would you believe I have been playing for 42 years! A Benny Goodman I'm not.

Yay for clarinetists! You, me, Jaily, we're everywhere!

Clarinet,
Recorder,
Harmonica (used to, not very well any more)

Starting Saxophone and re-starting Piano in the comiong year.

The rain we knew is a thing of the past -
deep-delving, dark, deliberate you would say
browsing on spire and bogland; but today
our sky-blue slates are steaming in the sun,
our yachts tinkling and dancing in the bay
like racehorses. We contemplate at last
shining windows, a future forbidden to no one.

Just piano for me.

Totally self-taught so not amazing by any means, but I enjoy myself.

Kazoo (me and the rest of world)
French Horn
and I can bang out a tune or two on the piano
and violin.

Actually i can figure out almost any instrument and play a simple tune on it in a few minutes, but those are the only ones that I can say I really play.

At the moment? None, as I am on here (hahaaa.... I crack myself up).

-I am first and foremost a vocalist. That is what my degree is in.
-I am also a decent pianist (been playing since I was 7). I would have majored in piano....but I'm lazy.
-I had to learn guitar in college. I am passable.
-I have played the clarinet for 15 years.
-I am proficient on flute and saxophone.
-And can make music-like sounds on the violin and trumpet and can fake my way through a percussion score (I had to take technique classes in all the instrument families in college).

What I play at the moment:
- Piano (this is my best instrument)
- Guitar

What I can play excluding the above:
- violin
-flute
-piccolo
- many other string instruments similar to the violin

Really, put me in front of anything and I can pick something up.

Voice and piano.
But I played trombone for two years in elementary school, good times.
I've always wanted to learn the violin but didn't because I only have so many hours in a day.

bass and guitar

for bass i have a squier bronco bass (short-scale electric) and an SB-31 (31 inch scale accoustic/electric)
for 6-string guitar i have a squier mini strat (electric) a baby alvarez (accoustic) and a very old guitar that my dad used to play when he was little.
for 12-string guitar i have an ovation (accoustic/electric)

it's too bad no one takes female musicians seriously around here though.

Double major, clarinet & English horn/oboe, the Juilliard School, class of '00...also studied flute, bassoon/contrabassoon, violin/viola, and 'cello. I also play the saxophone, and can passably negotiate a piano.

re: Musical instruments

in roughly descending order of proficiency:

voice
bass guitar
drumset/percussion
melodica
washboard
slide whistle
bowed psaltery
upright bass
piano
five-string guitar

In junior high school, I played cello and oboe, but have touched neither of them since. I suspect I could pick them up again if I had to.

I have never played clarinet.

I'm a voice major at school, so along with voice, we are forced to learn the piano. I am not that good, but I like playing. I also played the viola for about 9 year. Also I've taken class brass, so can play a little trombone. But I'd say I'm most proficient at voice, piano and viola.

piano
glockenspiel
trombone
my voice

Trumpet, primarily. I haven't played in a long time, but it was the love of my life for many years, and I miss it a lot. I can play the rest of the cornet family (flugelhorn, etc.) and a little, little bit of French horn and Euphonium.

Viola...since 5th grade.
