"Do any of you play a musical instrument?
I used to play the recorder years ago at school, I'm thinking of buying a violin (poor Luke and neighbours) "
Oh no - not the violin - me dad used to crucify it - your poor other half  |

I play the trombone - I know what to do with my hands and mouth, and how to slide my brass until the spit valve is spitting water and the bell end is blasting triumphantly... |

So if not a violin what other musical instrument would you recommend? |

"i played the violin at school but i quite after my teacher said i'd have to cut my nails 
i'd like to learn something now, maybe a clarinet"
If you learn the clarinet you can play saxophone too. They have the same keys I'm told |

When I was a kid, I had a Drum Kit in my Parents attic, I used to have the SAME 3 dudes back after school bashing out the drums.
When I left home, story has it, my mum chucked the whole kit, they could have sold that.
My pull up bar is still up there though.  |

they are very similar - my son wanted to learn the sax but he was a short arse at age 7 so got a clarinet to move onto a sex later- daughter played the flute - used to have quite s good time when they were both really into that |

"I can still play the clarinet (to an ok standard) and piano (not as well as I'd like!) but have recently agred to teach recorder to a group of 15 children... What was I thinking?! "

My parents paid for piano lessons when I was a sprog, also inflicted violin on them, my ex husband tried to teach me bass guitar and then said "anyone can play drums" - guess what? Not quite anyone! unfortunately I am tone deaf, can't carry a tune in a bucket and am unable to read a note of music so instruments and singing are beyond me (although I'd be a fucking amazing rock diva, given an ounce of talent) |

I started with one of them, then went onto Hohner Blues Harps.
I love the Suzuki's though.
Might buy a couple of Manji's if I get serious again |

Would love to play the guitar, I had one when I was a child but my fingers couldn't stretch enough, had another go a few years ago, the tips of my fingers where so sore, I could have cried.. Whimp... It stands in the corner of my living room all forlorn. |

There's many good harps on the market...quite fancy getting a crossover just to see the difference in playing with the altered keys. Seemingly takes a while to get used to though...might give one a try see how it sound  |
