Just curious how many people here can play instruments? I play the clarinet myself. Any other clarinetists here?

Keyboard/Piano ..... prefer the keyboard because I can do full pieces with it whilst with the Piano I can obviously only do the Piano part of any song ..... although the keys on a piano feel much better.
Tuba
:rockon:
Tuba = Brass pwnage.

Tuba may be brass "pwnage" but the Sousaphone (http://www.music.vt.edu/musicdictionary/texts/images/sousaphone.jpg) (commonly mistaken as a tuba) is the king of brass.
I played the cello and upright bass when I was in elementary school/junior high. In 8th and 9th grade I played bass drum or quads (being the big kid). Then the teacher found out I read music and she asked me to play tuba/sousaphone. Now I only play the guitar (acoustic and electric) and the bass. I have an upright that I just bought, for those times when I'm feeling like some Reverend Horton Heat or some funky jazz.

We at RU call the Sousaphones, Tubas... one in the same.
We play on King 25Ks they weigh about 45-50 pounds.

Yeah, I play the Clarinet. *throws clari out window* flute and sax are much more fun IMO. I used to play guitar, I play paino a lot and am pretty good at it, uhh i have 3 saxs (1 sop and 2 alto) and I play the sax best. I'm working on snare drum...gah you get the point. EDIT: What I said after this could be perverted.

Drums, Bass, Keys, a little tenor sax, and the radio. :p Off and on Professional Musician since 1978 playing in classic rock bands. :groovy:
I had to play the stupid violin in 4th grade cause my parents were excited about me playing the same insturment as my sister so she could help me. I hated it and since then haven't played any insturment.

While we're on the subject of instruments, can anybody recommend a place (online) to get portable keyboards for the cheapest prices possible? As I'm sure everyone knows, prices vary dramatically (one keyboard I'm interested in lists at over �1000 at one site, around �800 at another) with these type of things.
The only requirement is that the site stocks the Yamaha PSR 2100 at a decent price and can deliver / be picked up in the UK. Thanks for any help if given - if not .... :(

I used to play drums/random percussion. I was planning on playing guitar, I'm thinking of switching to bass though. Just need to save up enough to buy one.

Meh, people say both. What's the problem with saying quads?
Rayder
2003-12-27, 01:03 AM
Because it's wrong. They aren't "quads" they're tenors.
they're quads, because quads sounds cooler.
Rayder

Quad generally refers to 4 of something. Quadratic, quadruple, etc. http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=quad There are 5 heads of a tenor drum

The tenors at my school only have 4 heads so there :p
