Actually when I said “larynx” I was talking about singing. Seems to have taken on a whole new meaning - and I can’t imagine how considering the serious tone of most of my posts. :laughing:

Ok, seriously. I played both trumpet and guitar long ago in the misty past. It’s been so long I’ve forgotten how to pucker for a mouthpiece, and I can hardly pick my nose let alone a guitar string. :smiley:

 In chronological order of learning


Marimba (since old enough to see the tops of the bars)
Recorder (tenor & sop. mostly sight reading/accomp. of church music)
Trombone (my principle-- classical, symphonic, quintet, baroque; jazz-swing, dixie, bebop; rock–tower of power type stuff)
Singing (lots of styles)
Fountain pen? (composition counts as a music creation, right?)
Piano (mostly for composition of original works)
Guitar (mostly for composition; jazz; rock; some classical; some ITM)
Recording console (a little stretch, but doing it well is a lot like playing an instrument)
Native American Flute (doodling)
Shakuhachi (noodling)
Whistle (ITM)
Low Whistle (ITM-- the grip and air control is different enough to count separately I think)
Uilleann Pipes (ITM, some tower of power stuff
 just kidding :laughing: )
Irish Flute (ITM)
Bodhran (ITM)
Bones (just ITM so far, but I know would work well with bluegrass and dixie/trad jazz)
Mandolin (ITM; some bluegrass)
Harmonica (blues)
Melodica (mostly for adding a ‘free-reed’ sound to some compositions don’t have a squeezebox yet)

Been scoping Tenor Banjos
 and squeezeboxes
 oh, and an autoharp.(somebody stop me.. please
)

I know what an erhu(äșŒèƒĄ) is
I don’t know what a thumb piano is

I better Google it

Uilleann pipes/whistle/fiddle depending what tune I’m learning

Currently listening to a lot of Kerry slides for tunes- must be the phase o’the moon

Besides my high and low whistles, I play or attempt to play the

Hammered dulcimer
Mountain dulcimer
2 & 1/2 Octave Bowed Psaltery

I play about 40 or 50 different insruments. Unfortunately, most of them are percussion.

34

A thumb piano is a block of wood with short pieces of piano wire fastened to it, and they are plucked with the thumbs.

35

flute (keyless/simple system) - a mere newbie, 9 months so far

cello - going on 8 yrs now
daunting to begin learning as a “grownup” but finally starting to sound like a “real” cellist

guitar - only on rare occasions (acoustic folk/rock, no trad)
vocals (on aforementioned rare occasions, usually with acoustic guitar)
own a bodhran but don’t play it much (cheers from the crowd
)
keyboard (electronic) for studying music theory, working out harmonies, etc.

36

Trumpet is my main instrument. I’ve also played some euphonium in my past but not recently.

37

I played sax for many years (alto and bari), then picked up the whistle


I now also dabble in flute, melodeon, and tenor banjo.

piano/keyboard syn and waiting for my first flute—a Patrick Olwell bamboo G flute

39

About 15 other but I will just name a few which I play frequently:

Mandolin
Flute
Fiddle
Bassoon (main instrument)
Great Highland Bagpipes (Hence the avatar)
Bass Drum (also the avatar I play Pipes in Parades and Competions I play Bass Drum)
Baritone Horn (in school Marching Band I haven’t played in moths because the season is over)

There is more but why waste time in naming instruments I don’t play well and/or frequently?
