I have played saxophone for 17 years.
I started DJing 13 years ago.
I also play a little bass, guitar, keyboards, hand percussion and flute.
What I love doing though is producing music and doing remixes.
I had 5 years of piano lessons and still play the piano occasionally. However, I acquired a cello, and that's my primary instrument. I have been taking cello lessons for 16 years. A person does not need to take lessons that long, but I enjoy the challenge of playing more and more advanced music, and lessons keep me practicing so I don't go backwards.
The cello is less strenuous than a violin or viola that you have to grip between your jaw and shoulder. You have to have a good ear for pitch. Other than that it's just a matter of a little time and practice.
I also arrange music for a small community orchestra and play the cello with that orchestra. It's really a lot of fun playing with a group.
I've taken piano lessons for a few years, and I've writen a few songs on the keys.
But I've recently started picking up the drumsticks, due to my band lacking a drummer...
But really, I try to play every instrument I can get my hands on :P

Reason: Grammar
I play acoustic and electric guitar And if i would have drums, i would play drums, if i would have a piano, i would play piano, but unfortunately i haven't.
Piano, have an electric guitar......Still can't really claim to play it v.well, also have violin....Meh I pretty much stick to my piano but damn it I'm learning guitar this summer!!! So just wondering is can you get your own lyrics reviewed here or can ne1 recommend somewhere I could do that?!!
I play the bass, both double or upright bass and guitar-bass, the guitar, and the cuatro (a Venezuelan instrument). The bass is my favourite, and I own a Fender Squire, my first bass (named Louie) and a Fender Jazz 24 V, which is a fecking awesome bass (beautiful design, oven-painted and all. Her name's Angela), and I wish I had an upright bass but, alas, I do not. I have a Johnson Solara electric guitar (a beautiful guitar, also oven-painted design. Diana, after my dog) and two cuatros which don't have a brand but are just made. Awesome instruments. But bass is my favourite, so props to you for playing the bass too man. Keep at it. What bass do you have?
bought classic guitar almost a year ago and started playing on my own. ive just applied to rock academy (cause i still care about my neighbours) and now im learning with an instructor. so far, i can play just as good as phoebe buffay.
