- Tell us something.: I've picked up the tinwhistle again after several years, and have recently purchased a Chieftain v5 from Kerry Whistles that I cannot wait to get (why can't we beam stuff yet, come on Captain Kirk, get me my Low D!)

Picked up a whistle at 19
Piano accordion at 21
Bodhran at 22
Concertina at 24
I play the drums too but I don't have a passion for it as with Irish music; I play for my church because they need a drummer but I don't own a set and probably wouldn't play if I didn't do it there... it is fun though.
Also, I see an Irish flute in my near future.

My current favorite instruments:
Flute and whistle at age 14
Uilleann pipes at 16
Fiddle at 18
By the way, I've just turned 20. If I could afford it, it would be time to start another instrument! I've been leaning toward tenor banjo....
I played r*c*rd*r and guitar for a while between the ages of 12 and 15ish, but they weren't my favorites, so I gave them up.

For my part, I've picked up on several instruments over the years (piano, guitar, drums, bass, harmonica, NA flute, tinwhstle, trumpet and a few others) but, other than the piano, I've never gotten more than competant at any of them.jkwest wrote:here!! here!!Tyler Morris wrote:I'm an underdeveloped prodigy at everything I touch...
I picked up a harmonica at 25, put it down two days later...
Bought my first tin whistle at 28..two years later, I now have about 10..still trying to figure out how to make some kind of sound come out of it...
The jack-of-all-trades curse, I suppose; you can do several things fairly well, but not one of them are you very good at...sigh, the story of my life.

Electric organ at 11, flute at 12, saxaphone at 14, guitar at 21, whistle at 22, bass fiddle at 22, 5 string banjo (frailing) at 24... I am now 53 3/4. You'd think I might have learned to actually practice a bit earlier.
