    Hello Mibbians that are presumably interested in music.
    Rules:
    -Mild swearing allowed
    -Nothing too sexual (though I have no idea how you'd sneak something like that in a forum about instruments)

    Talk about anything related to instruments, including original pieces or some fun facts about yours.
    So, I play the drums. Pretty loud instrument, and disturbs everyone. Slightly more complicated than most people think, with different grips and fast playing required, though it's one of the slightly easier musical instruments to play.
    Go ahead, add your own.

    I play quite a few instruments, I've always had a kind of... affinity for music, I guess? It was about the only thing I was good at in school so I really put all of my time and effort into learning as many instruments as I could. Primarily, I'm a guitar, cornet and trumpet player. I started learning guitar when I was about 12, and I was given a cornet when I was in primary school so about... 10? Guitar was just for fun, but I really got good at cornet quite quickly. I played in the school's brass band, and I was also given the chance to play in the school and district jazz bands. That was a whole load of fun as it allowed me to go from playing cornet to trumpet, hugely similar instruments though, even if I do count them as two different instruments lmfao I'm also fairly proficient in keyboards as you kinda had to be to do the composition aspects of my uni degree. Aside from that I can also play the bass, drums and ukulele and I can half-play the piano and clarinet, although I'm nowhere near performance level on either of them.

    I currently own three guitars - two electrics and an electro-acoustic - and those are my babies. The cornet I had sadly belonged to the school, so I had to give it back in when I left the brass band when I was 18. I'd love to get a hold of one for myself but they rarely come up for sale in the area I'm in. I had a trumpet for years that I only sold a few years ago because I didn't have the time to practice due to uni commitments etc, but I am now seriously considering getting another one. Same goes for bass. I had a ukulele but it may or may not have broken when I let it slide down the wall via the headstock instead of putting it on a hanger so it's away to the great ukulele haven in the sky. My most valued instrument that I own, though, is the (quite frankly incredibly outdated) Casio keyboard that was my grandad's. I could probably update and get a newer one for about half the price it would cost me to get the one I have serviced but to be perfectly honest, I don't want a new one. I just love that I have this one thing from my grandad that really meant a lot to him, and I get to keep that. I don't play keyboard often anymore but if I feel like I particularly miss him, I'll pull that keyboard out and have a little tinkle, just so I can feel close to him again, y'know?

    I've always wanted to learn the violin but that was the only instrument I was expressly forbidden from having as a child. My dad can't stand them. tehe
