Default Any talented musicians in here who play multiple instruments?

In addition to being able to play guitar what else have you got in your armory?

Banjo and mandolin. Although the first instrument I learned was banjo, the guitar is now my primary instrument.

Don't play the piano or guitar anymore? Ahhhh don't be modest my friend my theory is that anyone who plays an instrument regardless of how good they are is talented..

Talented? No.

But I can play a bit of keys, and trumpet.

Can't everybody play a least a touch of percussion? No dis to drummers, but if you can't keep time, how do you play any instrument?

Used to play drums for a living. I sing OK and I play guitar well enough to not embarrass myself, but not much better.

Ok let me rephrase the question since many choose to be modest how many musicians in here play multiple instruments?

I will attempt to play music on anything that makes a noise!

I play (in rough descending order of proficiency) the piano (and synthesizers), violin, guitar (acoustic and electric), church organ, bass guitar, saxophone (and Yamaha electronic wind instrument), harmonica and drums (djembe and kit). Also in the house, and on my list to learn, are a banjo, a ukulele and a cello.

I don't consider myself particularly talented, and I don't really know how to play anything, but I do play guitar, mandolin, bass, piano, harmonica and drums.

Not so much with the talented part, but I play (in order of proficiency)

Guitar
Trumpet
Mandolin
Ukulele
Piano

I just bought my wife a piano and have only been at it for two weeks but am really enjoying it and have picked up two songs already. I most just want to learn piano in a chordal backup vocals kind of way, like the way I play guitar.

On tap to learn...

Banjo
Harmonica
Cello
Maybe dobro
