I've played a couple of instruments (brass), but not for some time. However, I'm a pretty decent vocalist.

woah! banjo and bagpipes are both really hard I heard. And not at all alike.

Banjo and Classical Guitar have some similarities...

Both require picking with fingers, two and a thumb for the banjo, three and a thumb for the guitar untill you bring in the pinky for a flamenco strum...

Bagpipes however, I almost break a vein every time I play. Hope I don't have an aneurysm. (sp?)

I think I need to figure out how to play with less pressure. I'm in better shape than some other pipers I know, and they can play for an hour after I pass out.

I played the Baritone and trombone all thru school, then had to turn in the instruments, never touched it since. I also played the doubled-belled uphonium... LOL only 3 on the east coast. It's like a baritone horn but has 2 bells, and a fourth Valve. The fourth valve changes the baritone from Bass cleft to treble cleff. Once in treble cleff, it's sounds like a trumpet with bass. One hard instrument to play Jumping from harmony to melody in 2 different ranges, all on the same sheet paper.
