Does anybody here play a instrument. I play violin and keyboard. How about you guys

I Do!!! I just recently took up playing the cello, I had to *bleep* my base guitar, so moving on to the stringed instruments is my next adventure, and I am loving it!
I Named my new cello Hellboy! (its red)
Before that, back in the day I played piano, oboe, tenor and alto sax, marimba, vibraphone, xylophone, marched cymbals for the drum line(I was pretty much cap. of the pit crew) and dabbled in various other woodwinds and brass instruments whenever I could. All of that happened in college when I was young and hyper!! Had to shake up that small town of Brenham, Texas as much as possible when I was in the band, but that's a whole other story!!!
I love playing the cello, it presents a whole new challenge for me as far as tone control and muscle memory goes. I need a lot of work on my bow stroke, something that the neighbors really don't appreciate, especially in the upper register!!(LOL) Its coming along, bad days of practice here and there, but you just keep on keepin' on, and eventually, all the practice and rudimentary stuff pays off bigtime! I will probly never be a concert-worthy cellist, but I love music so much, just playing for myself and my family is enough reward.

Very impressed with the cello playing. I've always been interested in trying a string instrument, but I have never invested in such a purchase.
Personally I play the piano, flute, clarinet, saxophone, and xylophone. Piano is by far my best subject. I no longer have the other instruments due to a house fire. However I remember the fingering and so forth. I really hope my kids or niece gets into music. I think it makes such a different throughout school and even in other subjects.

No, I don't play an instrument. BUT...I want to learn to play the hammered dulcimer. Finding a teacher is not that easy. Add to that, I don't read music. It's hopeless. Still want to learn, though.

I mainly play piano and clarinet. I joined a local community band so I get to play my clarinet a lot more now.
I dabbled a bit with playing the flute and the recorder. I still pull out the recorder occasionally. I also played the organ as a kid, but stopped when I went to college.

Sadly, I don't have an ear for music :P But much kudos to those who do play! I really enjoy watching live bands (even just school ones).
The closest I get is Rock Band / Guitar Hero xD

I make beats, play guitar, some piano, and harmonica. playing music is great hobby and everyone should do it.
