Members gr8fuldodd Posted October 13, 2005 Members Share Posted October 13, 2005 Don't have to play them, just like them. I love piano and organs, B3's to huge pipe organs [there are free pipe organ concerts at Balboa Park in San Diego every Sunday] Incidentally it's the largest outdoor pipe organ in the world! When they hit the low notes and hold them, it's so cool. I like sitar, tambura, and tabla Vibes are cool Violins, cellos, and double basses I play none of these Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Li Shenron Posted October 13, 2005 Members Share Posted October 13, 2005 To play or to listen to? I like the piano. I like the drums. I like most strings instruments, especially the violin and the cello, but not the banjo. With ethnic guitar-types I am very hit-or-miss (I may love one and hate another). I'd be interested in trying the harp, but not to play it in the standard classical way. I generally do not like playing wind instruments, as I'm very clumsy with them, but I absolutely like the sounds of the saxophone and the bagpipe. The instrument I hate most is the accordion.

Members Lanefair Posted October 13, 2005 Members Share Posted October 13, 2005 Bass (SO much more better than guitar, end of) Fretless bass, 6 string left handed banjo, guitars guitars guitars. I got an old organ with a huge speaker under it, and the keyboard lights up to help you learn the notes. It has various bells and whistles. I also have a Yamaha DX27 that my mothers school threw out because it 'didn't produce any sound'. Basically they didn't plug it in to anything. haha. I write some lovely synthey rpg computer game style stuff with it. Glockenspiels, Dulcimers, any percussive keyboard type stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Wilbo26 Posted October 13, 2005 Members Share Posted October 13, 2005 Back in the 80's my dad got really into organs, and actually had a guy come into our house and build a custom pipe organ for us. It was awesome, but I was too young to really get to play with it much at the time. We ended up selling it, and its now the organ in a church sanctuary somewhere. Oh how I wish it was still around for me to play with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members IndofunkCity Posted October 13, 2005 Members Share Posted October 13, 2005 I like a whole bunch of instruments. Special mentions include cello, sarod, kanjira, French horn, and others I can't think of now. Of the ones listed, I can play kanjira, and probably French horn (because I play trumpet).I play a lot of instruments, but I probably don't "like" them as intensely as instruments that I can't play. I considered buying a cello. If I bought it and learned it, I probably woudn't like it so much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members guitarcapo Posted October 13, 2005 Members Share Posted October 13, 2005 I like that organ they play in Bob Dylan's Like a Rolling Stone. I don't know what model it is but I bet it could make any song sound cool just playing chords in the background. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Roy Brooks Posted October 13, 2005 Members Share Posted October 13, 2005 I like pedal steel. Now that is a real man's instrument. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Filterbank Posted October 13, 2005 Members Share Posted October 13, 2005 I'm with Roy. My all-time fave instrument is the pedal steel. It's damn near impossible to play, can sound like a swan weeping or a buzzsaw going through a spinal cord and you can cover it in rhinestones. A close runner-up is a Fender Rhodes going through a Script Phase 90 or just about any phased electric piano. It's the smooth, gold-chain-wearing pickup artist of keyboards.

Members Rob Eadgbe Posted October 14, 2005 Members Share Posted October 14, 2005 In it's place and used properly, I can get into the sound of just about any instrument. With the possible exception of the accordion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
