Music Thing: Which instruments do Music Thing readers play?

25.2.08

No huge surprises here. Everyone's a synth twiddler, not that many are high-end musical programming language fans. I wonder if 'recording studio' and 'low geek' should be merged - they're both really just general recording.
'Something else' bought a few surprises: The most popular choices were, in order: Saxophone, banjo, mandolin, flute, harmonica, trombone, clarinet, violin, theremin, cello, melodica, accordion, ukelele, recorder, lap/pedal steel, circuit bending, kazoo, tuba, didgeridoo, turntable, Gameboy. Less popular suggestions included "Amiga 500 Protracker", "ebowed toaster oven rack", "Fart hands", "Mechanical monk", and two LOLlers suggested "Skin flute".

I missed the poll but I play bassoon, french horn (and mellophone which is a marching french horn), and piano. I can play trumpet, baritone/euphonium, and sort of tuba (like, a BIG sort of). Also, I can play 3 notes on flute (hot cross buns, anyone?) and an A on oboe. Yeah, that sounds like alot but I only play bassoon, french horn, mellophone, and piano actively (in a band currently).
