    Beyond the triangle and glockenspiel which I played (and I use the term loosely) at school I don't play any instrument but I'd love to play the drums. All that banging, I can imagine its a great stress reliever.

    I took piano lessons for 11 years growing up but no longer own a piano. I do have a keyboard I play occasionally but I'm rusty and it doesn't have the feel of a regular piano for me. I did play the clarinet for awhile in junior high but chewed up so many costly reeds I switched to a trombone. I found a beautiful old Hohner harmonica at a garage sale I had refurbished some years back and do love to play it.

    I would love to play the piano, but I don't have a musical bone in my body! Have a great weekend x

    A long, long time ago, I played piano a little, and, for a very short time, clarinet. My daughter plays a lot of instruments, but I especially love to listen to her playing piano. I never get tired of that.

    I played the French horn up into college, but honestly I always hated it! I'm not musical in any way shape or form :) But I do love the sound of the piano and violin!

    The sound of a good horn gives me goose bumps. Sadly, I don't play.

    Good question! I've not really thought about which one is my favorite. I took piano and flute lessons when I was in elementary school, but of the two, I prefer the piano. I also enjoy listening to the violin.

    Have a great weekend!

    Wow! I'm a music teacher so I'm not even exaggerating when I say I love all of them. I really wish I knew how to play the bass clarinet. Maybe someday.

      The Armchair Squid- I am sure you do love them all! It must be fun to be surrounded by music all the time. :) The bass clarinet is definitely super cool. ~L

    My favorite is the violin. I have played the piano, recorder, and guitar, but my short fingers make it hard to play quite a few instruments very well.

    I used to play the violin. Well, a long time ago I did. I can't imagine playing it now, but I've always loved the sounds that instrument makes under the fingers and bow of someone who know how to play it,

    I played the piano growing up. I still have my piano, but I don't play much anymore. I'm hoping my daughter takes lessons soon though.

    Piano! Love the sound it makes. And guitar. My son is a musician. He can play anything with strings. My daughter plays the violin, guitar, and mandolin. So music has always been big here on the farm.
