I know there are a lot of musicians around here who tinker with music on thier computers. But I thought it would be fun to know which folks here play a more tangible instrument, acoustic or elecronic.

I play the euphonium.
Here's a good showcase of it. It's NOT me playing though:

I play Drums and Piano myself. I've recently started playing acoustic guitar but I'm very basic at it of yet.

I also have an accordion which I keep telling myself to play, but it's all brokey and tuneless Sad

Guitar, bass, drums, piano, analog synths, glockenspiel, harmonica, violin, banjo, trumpet, err I sing so my voice I guess.

I can pretty much play whatever I can get my hands on. After an hour or two with a new instrument I can usually figure things out.

Piano player here, although I didn't get as far enough to learn anything past the advanced level.
I've also been trying to learn guitar, since it seems to be the cool thing to do nowadays.

I play a little bit of piano every now and then, and obsessively play the guitar due to my fascination for blues solos. I also have a harmonica that I've been playing around with.

I've played drums and piano for about 6 years now, only the last 3 years have I taken it seriously though.

I can piano at an average level, and hum at a slightly-above-average level.

My position kinda sucks.  I'm trying to learn how to make music with a computer, but I've never really been able to figure it out.  Otherwise, I'm classically trained in piano.  Like, all the way up to the toughest stuff.

I've even composed stuff (on pen and paper, though increpare introduced me to Lilypond.)  Hopefully one day I'll be a REAL musician like all of you.   Embarrassed

I'd write a devlog about my current game, but I'm too busy making it.

I can play piano, but I'm not amazing at it (I stopped at like grade 2-3 or something)
I can also play guitar a bit but my level of skill with that is not going to impress anyone.

A dude in my band had one of those, so I got to play with it lots. Super fun synth!

I play the keys (any keys), bass, guitar and drums, including percussion. I'm not very good at any of these but hey, it's good fun!

6 years of music school -> piano player. Though I've given up on
professionally playing it, now I just play for fun. Themes from games like
zelda, pokemon, super mario, etc., a little bit of Chopin here and there  Smiley

and wow that guy on the Euphonium rocks!

I play the guitar, and little bits of other things (though not well enough to say I really play them, I don't think) - piano, drums, bass, banjo, things like that.

So, really just the guitar.

During summer there was a day where I woke up at 5am and couldn't go back to sleep, so I went to my synth and programmed patches until 9am. Fun stuff.

Get a Korg NanoKey, it's $50 and it comes with a demo version of the M1 Le software and Ableton Live. If you want to start actually making music, get that. It's only two octaves, but it's a start, right?

I used to play the violin for about 9 years or so, but I haven't played it in about a year.
I want to learn the piano, but I don't have a piano. Sad

I play piano. And clarinet. No one's said clarinet yet!

And I could theoretically play the recorder.
