I've played and learned a few songs on the piano, guitar, bass, alto sax and violin over the years, but it's the mandolin I make the most effort with these days (and even that's not very much).

Ahh, I love the mandolin. It's next on my list, just as soon as my friend gets back from travelling so I can steal one of his. I've learnt the hard way not to buy instruments until I've had a couple of weeks playing around on someone else's first....

It makes a really lovely sound. At least if you know how to tune it properly (which is a real pain in the arse, what with how tight you have to wind the strings up), otherwise a quick strum sounds like you've just thrown it down the stairs or something. It's a really hard instrument to play as well, so you'll hav your work cut out for ya Once you know four or five four finger chords with it, you'll feel like you can take on the world with it though.

I hope my patience lasts out. It wasn't til this guy came to one of the jam nights in my local with his mandolin and joined in on an impromptu version of 'Zombie' by the Cranberries that I was swayed - I loved how it could make a pretty bland song into something totally different. Luckily, I have a couple of people around me to point me in the right direction, so I wont have to bodge my way through, get frustrated and end up throwing it across the room (R.I.P to the mini accordian that that happened to...)!

I play the flute, the piano and the recorder. Self-taught on the latter two.

I would love to learn how to play the oboe and the nyckelharpa.

I play guitar, keyboard/piano (And it doesn't suck, FFS!), bass (I suck at it, but whatever...), and I sing. I can also play drums, although I don't have my own drumkit, and I can play the clarinet.
And yeah, I am fourteen
