[Bill Bove]

I play the radio, I tried playing a CD but the buttons confused me.

[Ray]

I don't play much other than my mp3 player these days. But I wore out a few guitars in my youth. I was never very good, but I had a lot of fun with it. Played for beer and pizza with a buddy of mine at a few bars when I was a ski bum in the early 80's and sat in with a few local bands from time to time. Basically a blues and blues rock player. Never learned much beyond the pentatonic scale and a bunch of chords, so I was real limited. But on a good night, I played with a lot of feel. Couldn't sing to save my life though, so couldn't do anything solo.

Piano (a Yamaha C7, predominantly classical, some ragtime) and guitar (a 30 year old Martin D28). Never played professionally though I have played chamber music with violin/viola/cello playing friends.

[Jeff N.]

Drums. Just messing around though, with some friends who play git-fiddles. Just garage rock'n'roll. I ain't no John Bonham though, that's for sure. I'm more Charlie Watts-ish. Jeff N.

[csm]

I play the stereo. quite well too. we got the 12 yo a drumset last fall. I've been playing that a bit. double kick, roto toms, cymbals, it rocks. the neighbor was on the porch last night complaining. haha. wait until the marshall stacks get here.

Fixed, you're saying that you now own the organ that Jimmy Smith had in his house?!?!?!?! That's pretty amazing - like having a Hendrix Strat but moreso because guitars are a lot easier to have a few of than a big piece like an organ. Very cool - enjoy it!

And CT Rider - that's a major league guitar collection. I'm rather impressed to say the least. All of those Andersons and PRSs and an actual '59 Les Paul. Pretty much on a scale with DRBK's bike collection.

[GoJavs]

drums.

[leftyfreak]

Soprano and alto saxophones. Tenor too, if I could afford one.

Classically trained, but playing more jazz these days. Did performances in both genres last night.

Clarinet if I have to.

[SManning]

I play the piano and clarinet. I have a degree in music performance and a master's degree in music education. (My mother about flipped when I chose a music degree, but I'm glad I didn't listen to her.) I don't play my clarinet much anymore; It's just not much fun to play by yourself. I was also pretty burnt out after working on my graduate studies at Iowa. There were just too many gaps in my playing that I knew about; it just wasn't as much fun.

I now teach 453 elementary students and absolutely love it. They're great kids and make beautiful music. My choir is loads of fun and they're able to do some remarkable stuff. I absolutely love my job. I feel so lucky to get to do something I love everyday.

[DfCas]

I played a Hammond B-3 years ago in rock bands as a full time musician.I don't play anymore,but I've made my living as a piano tuner- technician for the last 21 years.

[justinf]

I'm in. . .piano, organ, drums, guitar, bass, vocals, produce records (very recently and for years professionally but have backed away for a while). Music's my thing. Glad to see I'm not the only one, but I kinda figured as much around here. . .

[Ti Designs]

I've played piano for 30 years now, kinda on and off. These days I find myself playing for at least an hour a day as I get more and more into it. My parents had a baby grand when I grew up so I've always wanted a real piano - even tried to buy one when I was in school and living in a dorm (who ever said school makes you smart???). Now I make due with electric piano(s). I had the original Roland RD300-S which I played the keys off of and got rid of a few years ago. Now I have a Yamaha P120 which is kinda cheap by piano standards, but the limiting factor is still the guy on the bench (not unlike bikes!). Just recently I've been getting more and more into expanding my MIDI studio. I have all kinds of synths and sampler modules making all kinds of sounds - it's all fun stuff.

If there is some sort of open house thing at Serotta this year, I can bring my little D50 and a piano module plus my little mixing board and an amp - anyone else want to make some noise?

[Sandy]

I was just thinking that it would be a neat idea to have some of our musicians play at a Serotta gathering, say at an Open House. I bet there would be a great deal of interest in listening to some of the talented ones that we have here.

Nice collection. The Dano is sweet--almost makes me want to paint my Jerry Jones.

[wanderingwheel]

Trombone and voice. Can't do either very well, but I did sing at Carnegie Hall in a choir.

[djg]

Nylon: Contreras II
Steel: Santa Cruz OM1
Plugged: Epiphone Sheraton

Need to play more. Also need more cow bell.

Ray,

Thanks for he compliment. I wish it were a real 59 Paul, but it's a 2000 R9 Reissue model. The last couple of real 59s I saw went for over $125K each!

93legendti,

Wiley Coyote is my idol! When I saw taht guitar on eBAY there was no hesitation on using Buy It Now! This was done by an artist down in Florida, he did a couple of Simpons Dano Art, including Itchy & Scratchy!

Jerry Jones makes some excellent guitars! Are they still in business?

[OldDog]

Strummed and plucked a little on guitar and banjo but have not played with them in years. If there was a poster child for tone deafness, it's me. Anymore I just listen to the ringing in my ears (tinnitus).

Shameless plug - I have a Fender Telecaster signed by Fogerty, blue moon rising theme on pick guard, for sale. Actually it's my boys, though I am baby sitting it. Never played. He manages a chain of record stores here in the northeast. Won it in a distributors contest for a window display for one of Fogerty's tours, may 7 - 8 years ago.

Don't know what it is worth. Telecasters are rather inexpensive to start with. Any advice would be appreciated.

[CT Rider]

Don't know what it is worth. Telecasters are rather inexpensive to start with. Any advice would be appreciated.

Fender makes a wide range of Teles - Mexican made ones are about $350 new, American made models are in the $900 range new. Take at look at the headstock, it should say where it's made. Without seeeing the guitar I would guess $400-500 it it was made in Mexico and maybe $800-900 if it was an American made model.

Autographed guitar prices vary, so collectors love them and pat top $$$, others insist the autograph devalues the guitar. As with everything, you need to hook up with the right buyer.

Good question, I bought my JJ in '97 on my birthday. I played it at my wedding. It is a very cool guitar.

[Catulle]

Maracas count?

I could be wrong, but I don't think the Bong is really a musical instrument??? :confused:

[flydhest]

I play guitar badly and drums even worse. American standard strat through a Fender blues deluxe, however, sounds nifty.

speaking of organs, keno plays with his and manet plays the flesh flute.

I played a mean Blues Harmonica in my youth and still pick it up from time to time.
I also play a Jews Harp, Jug and Wash Tub Base – I was in a jug band as a kid.

[Birddog]

You're right. A Bong is not a musical instrument, they are commonly thought to be Music Enhancers. There is no scientific evidence that they in fact do enhance music, but testimonials from Bong users are consistent in their belief that they do enhance the music both from a listening and a performing aspect. The widespread use of Bongs is legendary. I myself have been around Bong users, and can attest to the fact that there might be "something" to all this, as each and every participant after "playing" the Bong seemed to be more involved in the music. Comments like "wow" and "farout" were quite common after use, indicating that some change had occurred. I think the observed side effects of Bong use (hunger, lethargy, and deep sleep) tend to cancel out any benefits, but then I only was a non-scientific observer.
