Well, I like the Idea of other seibertronians playing instruments, and talking to alot of you, I always picture trying to hear what kind of instrument you would play, so if you do, wich instrument do you play?

I started out in Grade 5 on Trumpet, when I got to High School in Grade 8 I was shifted to Euphonium.

Once I left school I would some times make "guest appearances" with the school band either on trumpet or euphonium.

Now with the community band I was doing euphonium but i'm pretty much trumpet now.

Instruments I own ...

• Boosey & Hawkes Transitional Trumpet from the 1920's. Transitional in that it has a dial on it that you can turn to go from the key of A to Bb. Can't play it though as some of the joins are coming apart so there's air leaking ... and it's just not in tune with modern instruments.

• Trumpet from my younger days. Might be Amarti, I can't remember, it's a piece of crap. (I use the bands Jupiter)

• Boosey & Hawkes Euphonium from the 1910's. Well I don't actually have it, it's in getting restored and has unfortunately been there for over two years. The guy is a douchebag and gives promises and excuses after another. He has until next month and then i'm just taking it back. The screwing around i've gotten over this is why I don't play Euphonium anymore.

• Two Trombones. Can't remember the brands. I picked one up from the old high school auction for $10 (along with the table it came on and various other musical stuff). The case was dodgy so I asked the then music teacher at the school if she had a spare case. She then gave me another trombone.

I Always pictured you as the gruff guitar playing guy in the corner of a dark bar smoking a ciggy laughing at the guy on the other end of the bar for not being able to hold down his liqueur. You learn something new every day I guess!

I was a saxophonist from middle school through high school Had an Alto but in highschool I primarily played Baritone. Some of the best times of my life, but once I finished Highschool I never touched it again. I had no intention of being a music major and Computer science doesn't leave you much room for music.

The only instrument I know is my throat. I sing on the praise and worship team at my church..

Oh lord, they actually give me a mike too...

Now see BeastProwl, this is a great example of defying expectations.

If you'd seen pictures of CB from a few years ago you'd be scared. He was always very intense and had scary eyes. You wouldn't imagine him singing in church.

These days though he's become a big softy.

Wonder how many people you could get together at BotCon one year that could put a band together ...

heh, well, My instrument isn't really a band instrument. Id'e love to see a botcon seibertron band performence of some DOTM Score though. That would be amazing.

Over the years I've played:

Tenor Sax
Bass Guitar
Violin

Other than picking up the bass and messing around, I really haven't seriously played an instrument since high school.

I play:

Piano
Bassoon
Bass
Clarinet
Voice
Drums
Acoustic Guitar

The first three are my main instruments, and I mostly just fool around on the others, but yeah. I can do it.

YEASH! who forced you to go to musical school? That's quite a load!
I Mean, One instrument's enough for me...
I Play because I like to see WHAT I can play. Maybe I'll put up a youtube video someday... someday when I get a decent recording device. That video of my cat was with my friend's PSP, wich he has since sold. Oh well.
