Do you play any instruments?

TLDR: Do you play any instruments?
In a forum thread discussing musical instruments, various users shared their experiences and aspirations related to playing music. iamSharon initiated the conversation by expressing a desire to learn the saxophone, piano, and violin, and asked others about their musical interests and goals. Several users, including safeinsanity, MamaFrankie, Lammchen, Foxy, Guest, Jasony, and dfarmer2001, listed the instruments they play, which range from drums, piano, and guitar to more specific percussion and wind instruments. Some users, like ZandraJoi, Butterfly88, and Nomad, reflected on their past experiences with music, noting that they either didn't excel at or have since forgotten how to play the instruments they once tried. A common theme among the responses was the challenge of maintaining skills without regular practice, as indicated by Lammchen and Foxy, who mentioned needing to reacquaint themselves with their instruments. Others, like Shole and Sincerem, expressed regret or difficulty in finding the time or talent to play instruments but still showed appreciation for music. Overall, the thread highlighted a diverse range of musical involvement and interests, from active musicianship to casual or lapsed participation, with a general appreciation for the dedication required to learn and master musical instruments.

Some day I would love to learn how to play the saxophone, piano, and violin. I currently know how to play a little of clarinet and guitar. I also like to sing.

Do you like to play any instruments? Are there any that you wish to learn how to play?
 
I play the flute and tin whistle (also called the penny whistle). I need to practice again because it's been a while since I played but I always love to play Christmas songs!
 
I learned the flute when I was 10 & 11. Played in our school band. Though I wasn’t that good at it. I was “okay” but I found out I didn’t have a knack for music, just like art. I can however appreciate people learning an instrument. It takes dedication & a commitment.
 
I play drums and any and all percussion instruments you have. Timpani, Glockenspiel, congas, timbales, bongos. On and on. If it gets hit, I have mastered it.
 
I wish, I never learned playing one and now I am just too tiered and overflown with work and hobbies that I can't find time to do it.
 
I play drums the most. My other instruments are guitar, keyboard, piano, and bass guitar. I'm also trying to learn the banjo but haven't never actually touched one. I'm just memorizing chords. I was sort of O.K. at the violin but have forgotten it.
 
Back in middle school, I had learned to play the flute. However, I have always been able to play the drums by ear. Some people may think that playing the drums isn't difficult, but there's a difference between being on beat with the other instruments and singers and not being on beat. I've encountered several people who think they can play the drums, but beating them isn't "playing" them. You have to stay on beat with everyone else. I can play on beat with nearly any type of music, but my preference is playing during church.
 
I am not good playing instruments, but I love the sounds of guitar, piano, arching an expert playing through any of them gives me immense satisfaction.
 
I had to play a recorder for school and hated it. I took piano lessons as a kid one summer but never got into it. I haven't played any instruments in a while and probably forget the little I knew about recorder and piano because it's been so long.
 
I don't play any instruments, however, when I was in my teens I tried to learn guitar. I went for a 6 weeks class. But later I stopped practicing and I forget everything.
