Do you (or would like to) play a musical instrument?

The oboe's so weird to play! The whole double reed thing just feels weird

Haha, it's weird compared to other instruments, yeh.

Probably just getting used to it, I guess flute would feel weird to most people but to me it's just normal

I guess so yeah

Fair enough!

It's not fair. Why can't we play every instrument? ;D

I know, I want to! They should make them cheaper just so we could buy all of them

Lulz talk about it... My brother has 4 recorders, a cornetto (medieval instrument), two trumpets in Bb and a trumpet in C.

I've been watching the Don't Stop the Music documentary on channel 4 and was wondering - how many of you out there play an instrument, or would have liked too?

I myself play saxophone, and have done so since I was in year 8. I first started to learn using the schools sax, before my parents saved up and bought me one for Christmas. I'm thinking that if it hadn't been for the fact my school hadn't had the facilities, I wouldn't be playing the sax and wouldn't have had all the amazing experiences I've had with it.

If you play an instrument, how did you start out?

If you don't play, what was it that stopped you? Was there a lack of funding or facilities to help?

Just wondering

I'm jealous! Although to be fair, I have two flutes, a piccolo, a saxophone (alto, really want a tenor!), recorder, tinwhistle and a very temperamental keyboard which my neighbour gave me about ten years ago when I wanted to start learning an instrument

I have an oboe.















But tbh, my dad has his oboe and an oboe d'amor which I sometimes play ;D

No-one else in my family has anything so I can't steal them unfortunately I just seem to have gradually expanded my collection without meaning to, not that I'm complaining or anything! At one point I was going to swap my old flute for my friend's old clarinet so we could both learn the other one but we never got round to it

Haha everyone in my family is a musician:

Mum- Harpist
Dad- Oboist
Me-Oboe
Brother-Trumpet, recorder, cornetto

Like the von-trapp family ;D

I play the fiddle and tin whistle would love to learn uillean pipes or the banjo though :/
