Musical Instruments

[Urban Ranger]

I play the piano, but I suck at it. I also play the sax, and I suck less

[Buck Birdseed]

You don't suck with the sax, you blow.

I have in the past played the Violin and sung in a choir/taken song lessons, but now all I do is play around with a keyboard and a PC.

My favourite instrument is the 808 drum machine, or real drums or the electric bass.

bagpipes? Wow...

I play bass guitar, guitar, piano-related instruments (a.k.a. keyboards), mandolin, bouzouki, accordion and kazoo (the instrument)

my favourite instrument is my 5-string bass

Hows that going while you mention it? Link me to a catch up thread please. I had a look at that board just the other day and all was farely quiet. So yeah hows it going?

I'm not sure if there is a catch up thread but I can fill you in. Dale I guess has been looking for a job combined with the holidays, so very little coding has been done lately and that's pretty much what we need right now. No problem though, I'm sure he'll find one soon and we'll be going strong.

I think (though not sure) that the most recent code has a functional game but many of the menus need to be integrated in. Then comes scripting events (there's gonna be a TON of story in this game), units, music, city stuff, etc etc... so there's a ways to go but I'm still quite optimistic .

I played the piano for about 10 years.. won a number of local competitions, a few national, and 1 international. Once I left home for college, I lost interest in it.. but I still love piano music (especially piano concerti).

[KrazyHorse]

I only won 1 reqiogonal competition (firs in Monteral, a citty of 3 million)

[aaglo]

I didn't compete. I don't need such things to prove myself that I'm good at what I play...

[Uncle Sparky]

We should form the Apolyton Off-Topic Pipe and Drum Band !!! hehehehehe...

That would teach the other forums to fear and loath us !

... And we will keep playing until all Off Topic posts are included in our total count !!!

I also play the soprano, alto and tenor recorders and keyboards (an old Korg M1).

I sing professionally.

I play the tenor saxophone best (Grade 8 - UK grades go from 1 (easiest) to 8 (hardest)). Mostly jazz and blues, but a bit of rock and classical. At the moment doing some interesting improv over solo's to jazz standards, from a book of transcriptions.

I play trumpet ok too (Grade 3, but havne't taken a grade in years). Doing relatively simple things like Haydn's Trumpet Concertos. I can play oboe reasonably, but haven't picked one up in a few months. I used to play clarinet a little too, but my attempts a few weeks ago showed how far I've fallen. I was learning guitar and piano, but have a lot of trouble playing more than one part on the piano. I can do melodies and backings, but have trouble doing them together. I went througha phase of borrowing/trading for a while various instruments, but the only ones I play regularly are sax and trumpet, and I'm not that good at anything but the sax.
