What other instruments do you play?

What other instruments do you play.  I don't really play anything but piano, but I also have jazz piano lessons, and theory lessons, and composition lessons

I play violin (main instrument), piano and flute. I can get around a guitar too, but I'm not really into it that much so I never bother playing.

Used to play cello (very badly) and double bass.  Also played recorder (don't laugh - if you have to be able to play all the different recorders and a range of other instruments in an early music woodwind ensemble, it's quite hard!)

That is right. Do not make fun of the recorder, or it will call its big brother:

Me too.  I took classical guitar lessons for most of my youth, played in rock bands did a little jazz and so fourth, and always owned a acustic piano.  I mostly used the piano for tuning my guitars--then my daughter started taking piano lessons and I fell in love with the piano.

Also returning to piano after playing mostly guitar for the past few decades.  I never *got* guitar but at least I understand how things are done on the piano.

I got guitar really well--I understand it and my fingers move and play all the right notes--not much thinking involved, I can't do that with piano.  At this point I play piano by force of will.

The guitar IS a great instrument.
Tried playing it. Never could though. My fingers, my fist, my whole hand... doesn't quite fit into the picture. Not my position if you know what I mean.
I kinda twist my whole arm- comparing to piano and even cello....
I can't hold it properly.
