Who of us plays / has played an instrument?
That's a question I want to ask since long. I personally played once flat-horn... But in 1995 I left our brass-band what's reasoned by professional things. No time for practising anymore...

I play bass. Have few gigs and rest is me trying to compose songs for my new band (which is still at progress). But I love playing bass.

A long time ago I got my diploma as a French Horn player. There's also a fretless bass gathering dust in the corner - occasionally I pick it up and make some appalling noises out of it

Re: Who of us plays / has played an instrument?
I started with the Trumpet in grade school. When I got to Jr High school, they wanted me to play in the Jr High band, the problem was that practice was after school. The only reason I took it up to begin with was to get out of some classes in Grade school. I was plaing Ice hockey after school so the Trumpet went by the way side. My mom just recently gaev it to her neighbors in Florida because theirt kids wanted to take it up and I didn't need it anymore. Then I started to play Bass guitar, but after a few lessons, and hearing Blackmore on the guitar, I started to play guitar solos with it so ended up borrowing my brothers Strat copy most of the time. Just a couple of yeras ago Istarted to read music again and bought one of those fancy Ritchie Blackmore signature Strats and the wife made me learn to play it properly. I can still only make a racket on it though.

Re: Who of us plays / has played an instrument?
I was fairly good back then, if I say so myself, but yes it's an unpredictable instrument to play - but it adds such a wondrously rich sound to an orchestra. The highlight of my 'career' was playing a concert performance of Brahms 2nd Symphony, a wondrously sensual piece of music with a great horn solo in the slow movement. I can't hear that symphony without getting emotional about it in a good way of course.

It's beautiful, but Brahms doesn't seem to get many mentions on the 'What Are You Listening To Right Now' thread
