Any musicians around?

[jnicholes]

I decided to see if there are any other musicians here.

I play many instruments. Ocarina, Harmonica, Piano, Guitar, Ukulele, Erhu, Clarinet, Shakuhachi, and Organ.

In fact, on the Organ I am learning the Toccata and Fugue in D Minor by Johann Sebastian Bach. Here is my progress so far.

So, any other musicians here?

I love music! I play Piano, Guitar, Ukulele, Penny Whistle keys D and C, and am hoping to get a Concertina soon (a Concertina is sort of like an Accordion but it has more notes and is more complicated).

Glad to find another musician on here! But I got to ask, what is an Ocarina, Erhu, and Shakuhachi?

Glad to know there are other musicians here!

Now, your question. An ocarina is a small wind instrument. Mine is packed, so I cant post a picture if it.

An Erhu is a Chinese violin. I'll post a picture when I get home. I am at the store right now.

A shakuhachi is a Japanese Bamboo flute. I actually made mine because they are so expensive. Again, I'll post a picture when I get home.

It is the strangest thing. I can pick up any instrument, and with time, I can learn to play it myself without lessons. That was the case with the clarinet. I bought it with no idea how to play it, and two days later, I was playing it very well.

I call it a gift.

I forgot that I just moved. The instruments are still packed except for the organ.

I play piano. I have a musical gift too, perfect pitch. Apparently, only about one in ten thousand people have it. I also play tin whistle and auto harp, which kind of trapezoid shaped with buttons you press to get chords.

How I wish I could have perfect pitch!

Anyway, I found my Shakuhachi. Heres a picture. I actually need to start making another one. This one is slightly out of tune.

I'd like to learn piano, to be honest... I have a six-string guitar, but I don't know how to play it.
I fully intend to somehow get my hands on a keyboard so that I can learn how to play the piano... we have a grand piano in the living room, but I only practice when I'm alone in the house -- and that isn't often.
Other than that... does singing count? The only musical thing that I can properly do, haha!
