following on from a chat in the chatroom tonight does anyone play an instrument or tried to play one and failed? I play flute but always wanted to play piano but my hands were too small.

I believe this has been covered before, probably with reference to Topher's boy band, but I can't be sure. Anyways I can play the piano, guitar, I dabble with the harmonica, as I do with the drums (Mrs Ballbag wont let me get a kit) and I have also mastered the willy banjo.

Now that you mention it, I think you're right.

Anyway, I used to play the cornet but gave up. My cousin is possibly the world's only 'sk8tr boi' wannabe rocker chav who is also a cellist.

[Ballbag]

I sometimes play the double bass on the current Mrs Ballbag, she loves it.

[S4B]

I'm sure she does. Sure this thread'll turn into something useful, for got about Topher's boyband although I think "blanked it" may be closer to the truth.

i play piano and the drums i tried to play the bass but failed

[Zoot]

I play Gee-tar

[S4B]

electric or acoustic?

[Zoot]

Both. Have a Bass too.

[Yudster]

I am a pretty decent singer, I've done studio session work in the past, also play violin and flute. Miss Yudster is shaping up to be a rather good singer too, and she also plays alto saxaphone which I really want to have a go at.

[S4B]

I can sing too - but being welsh you would expect no less

[Yudster]

One of the most tone deaf musically illiterate people I have ever met is Welsh. But there's always an exception! I went to the Llangollen festival once, it was mind blowing.

[unclejoesmintballs]

i have no vocal talent at all hence why i use my hands

[S4B]

I love Llangollen it's just a wonderful eisteddfod. Although I've never sung there I have at the youth Eisteddfod and the national, it humbled my own feelings about my singing ability

[Yudster]

I also came away from there thinking I had been kidding myself! We were outside, and the natural acoustics in the valley are incredible. Everything sounded so good!

[S4B]

It's truly something everyone should experience

[Console]

My main musical talent is the vocals (although that's mostly self-professed), but I can also play the piano/keyboard, the drums (simple beats) and despite never taking any lessons in it, the recorder.

[S4B]

everyone says they can play the recorder but very few play it well. However Console your musical talents are impressive. Can all the Console's play so well?

[Console]

I must have missed something somewhere, why do think there are multiple 'Console's?

[S4B]

Ah ha look in general, chatroom page 2 I think. Sorry no idea how to make it a shortcut

[unclejoesmintballs]

er how do you get to the chatroom it seems to have moved

We're trying to campaign to have a link on the front page. Nothing yet though

[S4B]

Console'll do it. He loves us really. Please Console? We've learnt our lesson and know what we've been missing xxxxxx

[Zoot]

Did I miss anything interesting?

[Nicola_Red]

I learned some guitar at school. When it got complicated (ie, chords) I got bored so I started sitting at the back and faking. Wish I hadn't now, but such is life. They wanted me to start violin lessons too (we did a test of our 'ear for music' and I came top), but I'd heard the violin players at school concerts and they sounded like cats wailing, so I refused. Again, kinda wish I hadn't. The only thing I'd like to learn now is piano, but you need to own one really, and I don't have the space or cash.
