I would love to be able to play an instrument, I just haven't tried yet. Likely out of fear of failure. That and I'd like a quality instrument, which costs money.

I play the guitar. I'm not great in any sense, but I'm decent and really enjoy playing it.

I always wanted to learn the sax and the violin.

I'm at the Music School of Douglas Academy and I play cello and piano. ABRSM Grade 8 Cello and ABRSM Grade 7-8 Piano.
Rock on!

Cello's are awesome. I attempted to play one for a few minutes... We'll just leave that in the past. XD

I play video game music on the piano, used to play the clarinet in high school.

I also played the accordion when I was 6. It would have been cool if I still did.

I've been interested in playing drums for years, and I just started with my own set about 6 months ago. My friends think I'm amazing, just because I beat my one friend who's been playin drums for 3 years now, and all I did was play "Mordecai" by Between The Buried And Me. I felt terrible, cause I had just started and he'd been playing for a while, and I don't even have a teacher.

I'm learning to play the organ. It's my favorite sounding instrument.

Other than that, I used to play synth/keyboard, and I was a vocalist for a metalcore band - lol.

Main: Sax
Secondary: Guitar
tertiary: keyboard

Brawl references aside I would actually like to learn the viola.
Oh... I can do it like that!

Main: Bassoon
Secondary: Keyboard
Tertiary: Alto Saxophone

Saxophone would almost definitely be secondary if I had one that worked. :(

I used to play the organ, but I stopped because my teacher was a bioch.

I know bad excuse but I wasn't that old to realize how much I would crave the ability to play an instrument wen I grew older. I so want to learn the violin.

I picked up guitar 3 years ago with the hope of getting girls because of it....turns out you need talent too....so I got some of that...hahaha. But yah I play guitar mainly, but I focus on writing songs acoustically more than shredding it up on an electric like most do. Lead bores the hell out of me. I love love loveee piano. I've only been playing it for about a year, but its very versatile compared to most instruments. I can play a little drums, and to me while they suck for songwriting(you can't really write a song with just drums obviously) but they are easily the highest energy and most fun to just sit down and play.

I think this is the thread the moderators wanted us to find.

But yea, we are also influenced mainly by post rock bands explosions, mogwai, godspeed, I Love those bands to death. My bassist listens to both dance gavin dance and emerosa all the time.

My band is going to make a myspace once we have songs to put up.

I used to play marimba (Beat THAT) when I was like 6-8, wich led me to the Xilophone and piano.
