How many musical instruments do you have?

[half diminished]

Hi Ian,

For a horrible moment I though you were asking how many do I have!

I play the sax, dabble on the guitar, look quizzically at the clarinet and the keyboard leaning against the wall has proved excellent for hanging my coat on!

Chris

Just for you Chris!

Hi Ian,

I don't know how to thank you for giving me this opportunity to embarrass myself.

Do you want me to list all the percussion items or just the total number in each category?

Confession time!

3 Saxes (S,A & T).
3 Trumpets.
1 Short Cornet.
2 Long Cornets.
1 Flugelhorn.
1 Trombone.
1 Bass Guitar.
1 Piano.

I tend to focus on no more than 2 or 3 at a time. Currently having a sax sabbatical so playing Trombone, Long Cornet & Trumpet. Usually mess about with some others in the course of a week.
My main target at the moment is to learn trombone, and get to grade 5 standard in 2 years:shocked:

My favourites are Alto Sax and Long Cornet.
Kind regards
Tom

I've four though two are up for sale at present.

soprano sax (saxello)
alto sax (x2 both up for sale)

[Phil Edwards]

instant reaction was "not many", and then I started to think about it...

2 x Alto (that I play)
2 x Alto (for restoration - yes Saxlicker, it's those two!!!)
2 x Alto (that I loan to students)
1 x Tenor (for restoration - or sale - I'm unlikely to restore it as I have no desire to play it)
1 x flute (that I'm playing more as I've just started a trio in which it fits really well)
1 x harmonica (for fun only)
1 x keyboard (for fun, and experimenting with chords and transcriptions)

(can I add my sons 3 x guitars, and daughters recorder)

crikey...

Phil

Careful!

How do we know he is not a professional musical instrument burglar?

Remember we are still waiting the result of Pauly T's body length poll and he might be a professional musical instrument burglar too.

I borrow a bass guitar and drums if ever needed.

I have a voice - although my wife sometimes wishes I didn't.

[losaavedra]

5 Guitars (1 classical, 1 jumbo, 2 electric, 1 bass guitar) also a wrecked Ovation copy waiting for some TLC which doesn't really count (yet!).
1 Upright Piano
3 ancient Casio keyboards (2 ok for a bit of MIDI, whereas the third is tiny, battery operated and only covers 2.5 octaves but fine for working out melodies).
1 collection of blues harps (two boxes, keeping the note-benders separate from those that don't!)
1 Alto Sax
1 Trumpet
1 Bugle
1 Clarinet
1 recorder
1 assortment of percussive things (tambourine, flamenco cajòn, maracas although drum loops on my BOSS gizmo do a far better job).

So I make that 16 without counting the harp and percussion things as 'multiples'.

 

[Sloth]

I have an original Moog synthesiser
A Minimoog
Yamaha DX7 & CS80 synths
ARP 2600

The above are software instruments (you think I'm rich?)

My trusty old Casio CTK-611 keyboard
AKAI CD3000 & S950 samplers

Tenor sax
Jews/Jaws Harp
Kazoo
pursed lips

1 tenor sax - my main instrument
1 soprano sax which I try to play now and then
1 clarinet (from Netto) which I would like to play but find the fingering difficult
2 Xaphoons (1 acquired inadvertently) - don't play these
1 ukulele which I have just bought and am now trying to learn
1 violin - from my youth but can't bear to part with it as I hope to have another go at it someday. Needs a new bow.

 

[Col9]

This is giving me plenty of ammo to fight the "get another saxophone campaign"
Compared to you lot I've got nuthin.
Sue still says one in one out ( musical instruments that is) although it does remind me of when she left our Kate on the bus during breastfeeding. We got her back from the depot.
