Dunno if I'd call myself a musician but I play mouth organ a bit and have one in each key. Mainly play straight harp though. Tried playing chromatic but kept getting my mo' hairs caught in the slide so I gave that up as a bad joke.
Had a 3/4 size violin a few years back and managed to teach myself to play a couple of songs (fairly badly) Keep thinking that I'd like to buy another and persevere but finding time is always an issue. Not sure how the dogs would feel about it either. As it is, they suffer the mouth organ playing with barely concealed contempt.
When I found out that the tuning on a mandolin is the same as a fiddle, I bought a banjo-mandolin, but if my fiddle playing was bad, then the mandolin playing was worse.
Can also honk out a bit of a rhythm on a didgeridu, but I never mastered the circular breathing so necessary to be a real player.
Like many others, the thing I play best is a cd.
A mate of mine, having endured one of my drunken harmonica sessions one night said-
"I thought you liked music?"
"I do," I replied.
"Then why do you treat it so badly?"
Critics!!
