I cannot play any instrument because I have no aural skills, and my parents couldn’t afford lessons for me. But I do like classical and some other kinds of music. It is something that I don’t understand, but I like it because it touches my heart.
I want to learn to play the best beginner violin, and I hope that I will be able to play at least the simplest melodies there. I am rather old for that now (17), and I don’t think I will reach any heights now even if I start practicing every day. But I still want to try and to see what happens. It’s always better to try than not to try and regret.

Even though I no longer on stage (aka; praise/worship band) I truly miss singing/harmonizing and playing keyboard or piano. I don't read music...play by ear and using chords. I used to play guitar and flute but good ol' arthritis put an end to that. These days, I play for myself and am looking for others to jam with singing secular music.

Guitar is my main instrument, and I know a few tunes on banjo and mandolin/fiddle.
I’ve got a concert zither that I’d like to try my hand at, once I’ve repaired it.
I’m also fooling about with a concertina.

Violin, viola, cello; mandolin, mandola, mandocello A little guitar (mostly rhythm and a bit of flatpicking), tenor banjo and erhu

I've been studying the violin since I was 4. I'll be 57 in a couple months...53 years! Violin since I was 16, mandolin too. I took some guitar lessons in '83. The rest I've picked up along the way, including the Erhu while I lived in China.

Harmonica. Since I was 14. Harmonicas sound awful, until you learn how to play them. So, I'd go up onto railroad tracks, late at night. Or climb up into a tree. When dogs started howling back at me, I knew I was getting good. Bathtubs, and restrooms offered great acoustics too.. There was a certain boy's room at school, that I'd go into when I was skipping a class, and practice my harmonics. Until one day, as I was sneaking back out, I got met with applause by a teacher, and a bunch of students from a class next to the boy's room. Turned out, they could hear me fine! I scurried off embarrassed as heck!

I played the Viola (alto violin) in grade school and Junior High.
Haven't picked one up since.
