Do You Play a Musical Instrument?

I have played the harmonica for 65 years and own several. My favorite is the Chromatic 64. I play jazz, blues, classical, pop.

The piano, organ, accordion, violin and flute.

My violin was my violin teacher's, she played it in the Boston Pops. I will never play as well as she did, I did not start until I was 26.

The flutes-2 cheapies to start, (one is kept at school now), one silver plated Gemeinhardt. I can play into the high third register now, and know almost all the notes. I am working on embrochure, the mechanics is easy enough. Not bad for only 4 months.

The piano, I have played for 47 years. I play mostly classical and religious music. A little Bach or Chopin each day, and life is good.

Bought myself an Esteban guitar....inexpensive, with guide books, 2 dvd's on how to play, extra strings, amplifer, and lovely carrying case...

Hope to be practicing soon. :guitarist

My BIG problem is that I don't know how to tune a guitar. Could I find an internet site to teach me, I wonder

Chonsi, You are amazing. You should youtube yourself playing:-6 I'd love to hear you play.

I make kind of a flapping noise with my lips.

People seem to enjoy it.

The Accordion was our musical instrument growing up. Parents couldn't afford a Piano so the Accordion was the next best thing. :guitarist

Well I dont actually play anything. Its just a flapping noise.

When I say people seem to enjoy it what I really mean is infants and dogs.

I understand that, but you can still keep time to Malaguena with the flapping.

BTW--is the flapping wet or dry?
