So do you play and instrument? Tell us all about it in her - discuss the pros/cons and such B)

I play the guitar :D Got myself a new electro acoustic a couple of christmas' back and im just loving it! its a Tanglewood - TFC - quite compact but I like it so :D

Im not a serious player really wrote a few songs and if im brave enough one day I may even put it up here for you :wacko:

well, I do/did, but it's nowhere cool as the guitar i'm afraid. :blush:

I played the french horn through most of school and university, although i must admit i haven't picked it up in years. I did enjoy playing it, but it was mostly playing in various orchestras and stuff that i loved (mainly 'cos involved a huge amount of alcohol as well :ok: )

I also played the piano, which is possibly one of the most amazing stress-relievers ever. Was never as good on the piano as i was on the french horn, but I can still sit down and play a few pieces on the piano - i still find it very relaxing......

Dl is very good with a pink oboe and a trumpet... - very good at a solo with both! :whistle: roflmao

I jus knew the pink oboe would come into this! roflmao

A thread title like that is like a beacon for Sam and his PO comment !
Im a clarinet man myself :coffee:

*wonders if that's true* :unsure:

I used to thrash around on the drums in my formative years, but I must admit, I haven't picked up my sticks in anger for a few years now

:(

My didjeridu takes some beating!

:blink: :blink: :blink:

It is. I have an O level in music in fact .But that was a long time ago , dont play at all now. :shrug:

:) You betchya...... it is an aussie aboriginal wind instrument..... great acoustics by the way....

Just like the nomads and touregs kora....... :) the very reason why I like world music.... deeply hypnotic

oh, i know what it is - i think i have one somewhere - it was just the way that Big-Todger phrased it....... :blink:

you have to master circular breathing too, so you're breathing in through your nose out and through your mouth to maintain the sound

someone in australia told me that if you can master that you can beat breathalyzer tests.......although i've since been told by someone else that it's not true.

i tried to get the whole circular breathing thing when playing the french horn, but it just didn't happen...... :(

Sam you swine, dont be wicked roflmao

I play the triangle now, that damn Keith riichards doesnt look so badass now!

*evil laugh*

roflmao roflmao

Many Aborigines could do this, and i think snake charmers to-apparently it takes absolutely ages.
I've never heard of the breathalyser thing before though-interesting.

thought they were meant to be blown

B)

I once went out with a man who said the same. Never understood what he meant though? :unsure:

roflmao roflmao roflmao

That's what they all say!

:lmaao:

Well Keith or "Keef, maaaahn" as we call him, looks more like a corpse these days.

What has Dl's Pink Oboe come into? :o

roflmao

I thought you worked that Oboe so hard you got friction burns dl roflmao

Yeah, piano is defo the best stress reliever. I play as often as I can. Also play the clarinet and sax and sometimes attempt the guitar!

Yes, the title and then the opening post, with the invitation to "Tell us all about it in her -" :blush:

When I saw this title, I thought Sam is definitely on about the oboe again roflmao

Anyway, I play the Piano, Violin and Alto Saxophone. I haven't played my sax for ages, but Im gonna try and have a jam on the weekend :D

I belong to my uni Jazz Band so tend to play it alot there :) I love the violin, and tend to play the piano more for recreation. :)

Sam you're the bane of my life! roflmao

You made this oboe innuendo up, you swine :angry: roflmao

that's quite a range of instruments!

I still enjoy playing the piano when i get a chance, but i found that it was quite difficult to motivate myself to pick up my french horn and play it - i was much more motivated when i played in various bands and orchestras - now it's just too much like hard work :( i'll probably regret it some day.......

Excuse me! roflmao

If never forgotten when we got onto the instrument smut on Heyupp, with you at the forefront roflmao

Yeah the Piano is great, very theraputic to play, a nice hobby to have.

I know what you mean about not playing as much, I wish I had more time to play my violin really, I think Im going to try and keep it up though. :)
