Do you play any musical instuments? Traditional, nontraditional, homemade or purchased.... Anything that is used to make music counts here.

I am a flute player although I have not picked it up in quite awhile. I can also play the guitar a little (self taught) and at one time I could play the piano (can still play chopsticks!). Mostly now I sing as it is easiest to do in the car.

I play a few of the guitars I have around, once in awhile, not to often anymore. Also have the banjo, and autoharp, but I sent my fiddle and mandolin to auction back in the 90's. I used to play sousaphone back in high school band days. I remember one time at band camp... Now I don't know if I have enough air to play my Harmonicas! We sold our Baldwin upright grand when we moved here from the farm. Just didn't have the room here. Shame, as it certainly was a beauty.

"...used to play the bagpipes too but havent picked those up for a long while"
What's the definition of a gentleman?
Someone who knows how to play the bagpipes, but doesn't. ;D

I guess Gary Owen is another as I live but a stone's throw from where Custer's wolverines attacked Jeb Stuart's Cav here at Gettysburg. I love the pipes, hungover or sober.

I learned to play Harmonica from my Dad when I was about 8 years old. Got my first one for Christmas about 1947and STILL have it. I now own one Hohner for every musical Key and play them often. Took up the 5-string Banjo back in the 60s... bought an old (1922) Weymann from a fellow for $75 and sold it 2 years ago for $750. Not bad for a country guy! I used that money to buy a new GoldTone and also a Recording King 5-string. I am a 3-finger fingerpicker of Old-Time Southern Ballads. Would like to learn clawhammer style ( like Grandpa Jones) but no one around here to learn from. Lastly... I took up the Mountain Dulcimer a few years back and knock out a few tunes on my custom-made cherry wood McSpadden Dulcimer (made in the Ozarks) from Mountainview, Ark. It's a good pastime and, as I like to say..." Keeps me out o'trouble & off the streets. " LOL..... LarryD

flute is good if she can whistle allready. It is soft enough that the neighbors won't lynch you(beginner clarinets sound like somebody murdering a duck). Playing a flute will increase her typing speed also. My sister played and she could type 120 wpm.

I played saxaphone in H.S. and then learned to play guitar, although I have not played in quite some time. Although it is in dire need of a restoration, I have a 1963 Gibson Dove with a Sunburst finish and mother of pearl paralellagram inlays, which is rare. Gibson quoted me a price of about $2500 to restore it (Ouch) but it has a value, restored, of about $7000.

I am learning to play the fiddle. ^_^ I have a hobby of buying old violins off of ebay and repairing them. You cant get that sound out of a new China instrument. ^_^ I also made a cigar box fiddle. ;D
