<p>played piano for 11 yrs now</p>
<p>will most likely continue in college</p>
<p>Guitarist here...playing since I was seven.</p>
<p>My two main axes right now are a 2000 Fender American Strat my dad bought me as my bar-mitzvah gift, and a 2001 Brian Moore Custom Shop C-55P I saved up for myself. I run both through a Hughes & Kettner Duotone 1x12 Combo Amp. I also started playing bass last year...I bought myself a Fender American Deluxe Jazz Bass, and I'm running that through an EBS Taurus combo.</p>
<p>I've also been playing trombone since the 4th grade, but don't spend nearly as much time on it. I have this P.O.S Bach student model tenor trombone I got off of eBay.</p>
<p>I pretty much strictly play guitar now, but I've been "playing" drums for 8 years also.
My main guitar is an Epiphone Les Paul and it's not that great, but I love the sound I get with it so I wouldn't trade it for anything. For drums, I have a 5 piece Pearl Exports set that I've added a double bass pedal and an extra snare drum. I can't remember the last time I touched the drum set, though.
I'm pretty much into the whole composing music thing, I write a ton of songs on the computer and everything and put 'em online (<a href="http://www.tabit.net%5B/url%5D">www.tabit.net</a> - metal in MIDI form). I'd love to get a violin someday just to dabble with it and see how quickly I could pick it up.</p>
<p>main instrument is guitar, been playing for ten years (since age seven). Accoustic (crappy Ibanez + crappy Takamine but hoping to get a better one soon), Classical (main thing--Yamaha student model), Electric (mostly for jazz: Ibanez artstar + crappy Fender guitar-in-a-box). Also play French horn (Holton 179, mellophone in marching band). Love to sing, been doing that forever. not planning on majoring in music, but I really want to continue in it somehow.</p>
<p>Been playing piano for 10 years now, finally getting good at it.
I'm self-taught on the guitar (4 years now). Will bring it to college.</p>
<p>cello here. I won't continue in college, so I don't own one, our school rents two out to you for the school year. (One to keep in school, and one to keep at home to practice for seating tests)</p>
<p>I've been playing flute for almost 5 years...because of my school's arts limitations, though...well, I'm a serious singer and might have to concentrate on that instead. I also took piano lessons for 2 1/2 years when I was younger, stopped, then started about a year ago...I'll continue voice and piano, but, like I said, flute is up in the air...I also played piccolo this year for one song in band when the section leader didn't want to, that looks interesting to me.</p>
<p>Viola fourth through seventh grade. I regret quitting. I was actually pretty good.</p>
<p>Now it's just singing in the shower... though my voice knows no bounds, as my friends can attest :P.</p>
<p>Yaay for trumpets... </p>
<p>It's kind of pointless to get braces after you've been playing trumpet for so long like me... (7 years). I got a decent Bach strad LR180 S43G along with an old 180 S37 I wish there was something magical that would help my horrors of braces.</p>
<p>Violin - I've played for 12 years, and am a lot more into fiddle/celtic right now than classical. My violin is very old and either French or German. I can barely see the label because it's faded and the printing is tiny. I love my violin the most! :) </p>
<p>Viola - Played for a couple years in orchestra/chamber ensembles. My viola isn't one of the best ones, but I love it anyways.</p>
<p>Flute - Played for 5 years in private lessons as well as band. It's a silver open-hole Yamaha with a very nice tone. I'm doing my grade 10 RCM exam this year and it is scary, but the music is fun. There are way too many scales. </p>
<p>Piccolo - I've played in band for a couple years. There are three of us that play and we switch around all the time. I got to do the Chinese Dance solo in the Nutcracker which was fun! I bought it off my flute teacher for not very much. It's a silver one, but I've actually been dying to get a nice wood one.</p>
<p>Wooden Flute/Fife (in the key of F and made of Bamboo) - Bought it this weekend for $30 at the Folk Music Festival in hopes of learning some celtic stuff to go with the fiddling! It's turning out to be quite fun for the summer!</p>
<p>Sitar, but I haven't played in a year and everytime I think about it I get all depressed. GAH, I suck.</p>
<p>drums for me.</p>
<p>marched bass and quads/tenors for high school marching band, but have been playing drumset since freshman year.</p>
<p>I can't take my drums with me to my dorm though :(</p>
<p>Clarinet for like 8 years</p>
<p>I m loving my takamine GS-330S acoustic guitar, as well.</p>
<p>I play the viola...only have been taking lessons though for about a year and a half. I sing in choir too.</p>
<p>Piano For 5 years. I liketo play i get frustrated if i can't play once a day and if I get mad that's what I do. I was in the choir at school but the people in there think they're so great when they really aren't somebody needs to tell them just not me.</p>
<p>I've played Trombone for 7 years (I'm a senior now...06) and it's a tenor Yamaha...I also play on a Bass Yamaha and sometimes a Bass Bach...</p>
<p>I started violin in first grade, and played it all the way up to the end of 8th grade. I quit in high school because I decided that it wasn't what I loved to do, and that I would rather be doing art than playing the violin. I know a bit of piano too, but I'm not too good at it. </p>
<p>I want to learn electric guitar sometime soon, though. I think it's a wonderfully expressive instrument that a lot of people underestimate.</p>
<p>Piano-9 years</p>
<p>Clarinet-6 years</p>
<p>Drums/Percussion-3 years</p>
<p>I'm at a summer program though, so I'm having withdrawals.</p>
<p>Piano! Used to be good. Now not so much.</p>
<p>I want to learn how to play the cello. But will starting at 17/18/19 be too late?</p>
