Other Instruments

Post by fischio »

I know how partial whistle players are to their whistles, yet I wonder if they play other instruments.
Just out of curiosity - what other instruments, however inferior, do you play?

FLute, currently

I also play guitar, but only for home/hobby. I'm pondering selling my electric 12.

Also bass.
Also GHB, in the distant past.

Well, for Irish music, I play bodhran too, though not as often nor as well as whistle...I'm also looking into getting more serious about figuring out flute.

Besides that, I play clarinet, sax, a little basson, and a variety of Renaissance instruments (recorders, crumhorns, etc.).
