    Haven't had the time (yet) to listen to your piano etude. But yes, I did play the piano for quite some time. I'm into freestyle-jazz thing (improvising) I used to play in a very small band. As we didn't perform anywhere we quited the band, but playing together is the best. Learn from each other.

    I don't play it but it's been my childhood's dream to have one and learn playing piano like Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. ;)

    I play quite a few instruments:
    Piano - 12 years
    Bass - 10 years
    Guitar - 8 years
    Drums - 8 years

    I used to own a recording studio which was really fun. I kind of had to learn all the instruments because I wasn't real into fake sounds.

    When I listen to yoru tape Nintendo, I picture you using one finger on a Casio keyboard with the built in beatbox

    Am I right?

    The crack-pot has to start some where!!! Sheese!!! Yes, it's one finger!!! :D:D:D I can hardly even read all that stuff!!!!! I couldn't even play a song that I havn't memorized the music to! Right now I can't even imagen playing all four parts at the same time!!!! All I know is that if the note is one spot up, you move your finger to the next key to the right!!!! Or what ever you call the thing you push to make the sound!!! Right now I'm working on memorizing every single sound/location and then try to figure out the notes!!!!

    I tried. I really did. I have a modest midi studio at home where I attempt to create some electronica. Naturally you need a keyboard to operate all that via midi. I took a private piano lesson hoping to get away from playing-with-one-finger but it was just too much work to continue so I gave up on that :eek:

    In short: Do I play piano? No. Do I have one and would like to be able to use it? Absolutely. Maybe one day...

    well playing piano or any keyboard is one of hobbies before I became an Adsense Artist. But until now I am still a member of several choirs here under BASS-2 category.

    I've been playing piano for some months and I really enjoy it! I didn't have a tutor and I learnt it all online by reading free articles and courses. It wasn't easy, I admit. But it was worth it!

    Ah salam, godaves Ladan!

    I play the recorder. I seriously put on a wicked cover of 'London's Burning'

    I can play the Piano.

    Well I say 'PLAY' but I generally mean Mary had a little lamb, and the first few bars of Chop sticks.

    Saxophone must be the most sexy sounding instrument ever! Great that you can play it!

    I remember my old neighbour used to be able to play 'we're walking in the air' song from the christmas film 'The Snowman' on the flute...I used to be so jealous, I always wanted to try and play it..

    This one time, at bandcamp.. ;)

    Since my mom is a piano teacher, I really had no say so whether I wanted to learn it or not. Finally at age 13 convinced her that it was a waste of time and being a pianist is not a goal of mine.
