Musical Instruments!

[ellie-jessie-eve]

I'm really into more obscure instruments though, I'd love to get my hands on a theremin, and at the moment I'm teaching myself how to play the ocarina.

I've never heard either of those instruments! What are they?

A theremin is pretty much a radio with two antennas sticking out different ends and you change the pitch and volume by moving your hands between them. It makes a really cool creepy electronic sound, kind of like the original Star Trek theme tune. They're $200+ though, and most of the ones you buy you actually have to assemble first.
The ocarina is a really old wind instrument (12,000+ years) that kind of sounds like a pan flute or panpipes. I got mine as a preorder bonus when I bought The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time for the 3DS and haven't been able to put it down since.

Those are crazy looking Especially the ocarina. It's amazing that you can play those, I don't think I ever could!

I've played the clarinet for about it a year now . I really enjoy playing it with a band, although I would love to learn the piano one day.
My sister's the proper musician though! Grade 8 alto sax, grade 7 clarinet, and she also plays the tenor sax, piano, violin and flute. She's hopefully joining the army band when she's 18, so yay for her

Jessie, that really is astounding! I'd love to hear a recording of you playing something one day.

I have a YouTube account with me playing some. I can send you a video on Twitter.

Draik- Whoa! Those are crazy cool instruments! Reminds me of one of my favorites, the Armonica. NOT the Harmonica, but a different instrument popular in the 18th century, invented by Benjamin Franklin, and popular with many people, including Marie Antoinette.

Only the clarinet right here. I hate it. It sounds like a kazoo with a tummy ache.

I mainly play the violin, been playing it for close to ten years. And I can also kinda play piano, but not much.

That's awesome! They're both very beautiful instruments.

I play the Guitar and Harmonica

I play the Guitar and Harmonica

Can you play both at the same time?

[The Star Swordsman]

I would be the happiest person if I can learn the basics of guitar.

[Leirin]

^Same...


I also play a bit of the accordion, but it's just my sister's kid accordion. It does sound quite good considering, though (if only it'd stop squeaking and scrunching).

[The Star Swordsman]

Accordion sounds like a complex istument to play.

[ellie-jessie-eve]

Learning to play the accordian would be the most boss thing ever!
