Played alto sax for a little over six years... haven't played since the spring concert in my senior year of high school though... almost 2 years.

I've been playing guitar since I was eight... haven't picked it up in a few months though, I should really get back to that.

Since I'm Chinese, I play the violin and piano (how stereotypical). I played the trombone for about 2 years also, but ended up not liking it.

trumpet, baretone, tuba, french horn, some guitar and piano/keyboard.

I'm actually tone deaf tho, I have to read the music, I can match pitches (which pretty much means I can tune the instrument), but can't recognize changin harmonics like most people, so I can't sing, or just join in on a key.

Played violin in gradeschool for a while, never really got good at it. Started with guitar about 4 years ago, started actually getting into it last year and have gotten pretty decent at it (accoustic, some electric). Also fiddle around with harmonica and drums occasionally. Was on my HS drumline for 2 years. I also sing along when I play, poorly... still working on the voice. Want to invest in a cheap little steel drum one day so I can pick that up.

Played French Horn for seven years (middle school and high school), although I haven't really played since I graduated in 2003. Also, I was in my school's winter drumline for three years; played synthesizer/keyboard, hence my name. :)
