What instrument?

[Michael]

Something new, and relatively untouched.

If you play more than one, or an instrument not listed, feel free to post it.

[jeders]

Where's the piano?

[SJFedor]

Or the recorder? 

[ColonelJack]

Or the bagpipes, laddie???

Jack

[mikeylikey]

Harp??

[Michael]

There.  Pretty much anyone can play a major scale on the piano though.

I expect to see a lot of NY Wing members.  (Juilliard, Eastman, and Crane are all located in NY)

[cnitas]

I can only choose 1? 

[Michael]

Sadly yes.  This is my first poll, and I screwed that detail up.  I too am affected.  I play trombone, euphonium, and cornet.

If you play more than one instrument, feel free to add it.

[Al Sayre]

^^^  Yeah, and where are the rest of the strings?  Banjo, Ukelele, Mandolin, etc.

[♠SARKID♠]

Played trumpet since 6th grade, almost went professional with it.  Been playing guitar for a few years, also alto sax and piano.

[Eclipse]

Cowbell?

[_]

Does air guitar count?

[jimmydeanno]

Didgeridoo?

[RogueLeader]

I only bang on drums, oh and the occasional cymbal.

[Michael]

I was hoping for, 

"I play trombone on and off now and then.  Was in the Army Blues Band for about 10 years then toured with the Joe Schmoe Orchestra for a few years..."

you know the more serious kind of thing but, ok.

And I didn't know major scales could be played on the Didgeridoo.

[♠SARKID♠]

Okay, I'll elaborate a bit.  I played trumpet for 3 years in the University of Wisconsin Milwaukee Youth Wind Ensemble.  Not to brag, but its a group of the best high school musicians in the Milwaukee area and is often regarded as having a higher skill level than most college groups.

After HS I went on to the UW-Waukesha band, which sucked like a hoover.

Now, I play guitar in my spare time.

Well, I can play major scales on all of them with the exception of bagpipes and guitar.  That being said, I have my Bachelor of Music (BM haha) in Music Eduation with an emphasis on Tuba, hence Tubacap.  In fact I just came from listening to 9 people audition for a seat at District 8 Orchestra in PA. 

My playing experience is mostly at the University level.  I was the principal tubist for the Mansfield University Orchestra for two years, as well as the principal tubist of the symphonic band for 2 years.  Now I play with a semi-pro group, the Billtown Brass, out of Williamsport PA, and do freelance work in the Williamsport and Corning areas.

I must say though, teaching full time, being a full time student, a squadron commander, working on the Counternarcotics schedule, and most importantly being a semi-new dad, playing my horn for fun doesn't happen a lot... although... I did just get a new St. Petersburg tuba for my school.

BTY if you love playing but don't have a band to play with, check out www.smartmusic.com.  It's a great program, with songs of all ability levels on there.

[Eclipse]

You can't play Major scales until you complete Level III.

[Michael]

That was good.

Tubacap:

Thanks very much for the post.

I may actually be playing a little too much; Regular Wind Ensemble at school, Jazz  Band and a the school musical.  There's just not that much playing in CAP.

I kinda got pumped on the thought of military music after seeing the AF, Army, and Marine concert bands; hence my many posts regarding this subject. 

[Major Carrales]

I play violin in a Mariachi Band almost every NON-SARex weekend. I also Trombone, keyboard, some trumpet and guitar in our family showband.
