Does anyone play any musical instruments?

For example, I play a bit of piano, the saxophone, and am just starting violin.
Rereading these forums make me feel old >.<

Piano, and a very little bit of guitar. I'd like to learn something in the horn section for playing blues. What types of music do you all like to play?

orchestral f/b flat horn, and a bit of piano.

You can pretty much ignore the times on that, I rarely ever have Xfire on when I play. I should, though.

Bass guitar. I started playing three months ago and I can already play three full songs (Longview by Green Day, Israel's Son by Silverchair, and Seven Nation Army by The White Stripes). I've also made some songs with my friends Kevin (who plays electric).

I used to play cello quite a lot. After that I learned to play piano real good about one and a half years ago. And I started playing guitar about a year ago. I'm pretty good at that as well.

I play the B flat trumpet, the recorder, and I can poke out a few tunes on a piano.
hmmm... that seems to be it. Oh, wait, I can play the jaw (Jew's) harp too. (it can be used to make a "springy" sound effect)

Band has been my biggest hobby since I was a sophomore in HS. The instruments I own and play are as follows. Not necessarily pertinent information, but I take great pride in my horns.

Silver plated King 607F Trombone with F attachment (played with University of Nebraska-Kearney "Pride of the Plains" Marching Band, symphonic band, wind ensemble, j-a-z-z-rock (sorry, if I left "the J word" intact it would leave an extremely embarrassing censored form) ensemble, brass quintet, and a few other groups)

Silver plated Blessing B135 Bb Trumpet (very inexpensive, and it plays great)

I also play the tuba and euphonium, as well as piano and drums. I intend to learn how to play guitar and, possibly, bass.

I can play the trumpet and recorder, but I want to learn how to play electric guitar. Toaster, my dad can play the Jew's harp but I have no idea how he does it. I try and it just hurts my teeth.

you're probably not holding it right. if your dad's Jew's harp has a diamond cross-section, put the edges of your teeth on the side facing away from the part of the center tab that sticks out and away from the center, (don't put your teeth on the "corner" ridges) and then put your lips flat against your teeth, touching the same side your teeth are. if I had a digital camera, I'd show you pictures.
