Hey everybody.

Just wondering the musical diversity of you all. Tell us. I'll start.

I've been playing the violin for 12 years.

I played piano for about 12 years and dabbled in guitar and drums for a couple years but ended up quitting all of them when I went to university for some reason.

Been playing guitar for about 12 years and the mandolin for about 8. Dabbled in drums, sax and bass but they never really caught my interest, as fun as they were.

Yup. Depending on the level you were at it might take a bit, but I can pick it back up whenever I want - I just have to do loads of scales and arpeggios and formula patterns and technical stuff for a week to get my dexterity back.

I love piano and percussion. I have been playing piano for 15 years however, I am rather less serious about it now. Keeps me relaxed though.

Do it. Violins are a very pretty instrument(obviously biased). I play electric violin for several bands, and sometimes octave it down several times so it sounds like a bass guitar. :D

Dope man. I just got a violin from a family member, but after 30 mins of messing around I realized that there is no way I will learn without a teacher. At least not if I want proper technique. Steep learning curve for sure. Awesome instrument though. I want to learn to do those Pendereckian (awesome composer if you don't know him) high pitched squealy notes.

seriously though, using a computer to play songs that other people have made is not being a musician and is certainly not playing an instrument.
