I play piano and violin. The violin is harder for me, I'm not sure why, but it is.
Piano has always been easy for me. I learned to read notes in a way. Instead of it being the traditional letter notes, my keyboard is numbered from -44 through 44 with one being middle C. I play my piano almost everyday and I use it to calm myself down when I get upset for whatever reason.

Yes. Mainly I play the trombone in my high school band. I've also been taught to play the alto saxophone and the drums. I can play very little flute and trumpet. I've tried several times to play the clarinet, but I can never get a single note out of it.

the thing about the clarinet, is that a beginner with an underdeveloped embouchure, needs to start out with a soft reed, like a #1.5 or #2 at most. stiffer reeds squawk less but require an embouchure of iron, so it is understandable that one would have trouble blowing through a stiffly reeded horn.

I mostly play trumpet, French horn, and piano, but in my lifetime I have learned how to play four other instruments to proficiency and at least 7 others I can play very basic things on.

My main instruments are oboe, piano, and guitar, but I've always been obsessed with learning every instrument there is. So I can play all the usual band and orchestra instruments, at least moderately well.

Except bagpipe... I would love to try that one day. My neighbors would kill me though :P

I play guitar - classical, rock and alternative mainly.

I am currently working on an alternative rock album (a throw back to 90's alternative rock kind of thing). A lot of influences are being blended together for a nice rounded 90's rock experience.

Here is a 2 CD classical guitar experiment I put together in 2009:

I tried composing for RPG's for the company Atlus in the past, but the competition is just insane. Anyways, if you like my music please let me know! haha :D

Piano, flute, bass guitar, and saxophone. I don't play the saxophone anymore, and I want my bass guitar back. :cry:

Scientific explaination you say? Well, for me, I sometimes play the piano when I feel the need to stim. Playing the piano, or pretending to play one on a flat surface is actually one of my stims.
